Offline companionship

First activation requires internet access and a one-time code from your account. After that, your pet works offline. Its license is checked automatically when your connection returns.

Moving to a new computer?

Open “Activation & devices” in your account. If all 5 slots are taken, deactivate an old computer and activate the new one — no need to buy again.

A deactivated computer loses access at its next online check, with an explanation. Copying the file to another computer requires a separate activation.

About Buddy

Buddy is a Labrador dog for your Windows desktop. This page shows the Retro version and its own action previews.

Notes and reminders, beside your pet

Colored notes, scheduled reminders and automatic sync with your Fredo account.

Notes
Create colored notes, change color and text formatting, and search your collection. Pop out opens a movable sticky window that stays on screen when you close the list. Pop in returns it to the list. On the web, drag the whole note and neighboring records move aside as you drag. Compact view shows a thin, single-line list. Keyboard arrows also rearrange records.
Reminders
Choose a date and time or a quick interval. Your running pet delivers a bubble and gentle sound. Snooze for five minutes or complete from the bubble. On the web, choose 5, 15 or 30 minutes, 1 or 3 hours, or a specific date and time. Reminders also support Pop out, rearranging and compact view. Enabled email reminders reach your registered email even when the browser is closed. Private-key mode requires a separate opt-in.
Sync through activation
Activated pets automatically use their Fredo account and start syncing without separate pairing or another key. Local use needs no account. The free Fredo demo needs one initial account sign-in for sync.
Choose your protection
Content is encrypted on your device and stored encrypted on the server. Default account recovery protects a key copy on the server, so the server can technically decrypt content. You can enable private-key mode in Notebook protection: keep the key safe, because new devices will need it. Existing private vaults are never switched automatically.

Your Windows pet must be running for its bubble; the web page must be open for its bubble and sound. Enabled email reminders reach your account email even when the browser is closed. In private-key mode, email reminders require a separate opt-in.
