BLE hardware companion for Claude Code with physical tool approvals.
About Claude Desktop Buddy
Claude Desktop Buddy is a BLE hardware companion for Claude Code and Claude Cowork that lets makers connect the Claude desktop app to physical devices like ESP32 boards. A small desk device can display Claude state, mirror recent messages, and let users approve or deny tool calls without switching back to the app.
• BLE bridge for Claude — exposes a lightweight API from the desktop app to maker hardware • Physical permission prompts — approve or deny Claude tool calls from a desk companion • Live status display — show recent messages and assistant state on a connected device • Maker-friendly hardware flow — designed for ESP32-class microcontrollers and custom builds • Open protocol — built on the open-source claude-desktop-buddy spec and GitHub repo
A neat fit for developers and tinkerers who want a physical interface for Claude workflows.
