Load lightweight conversation summaries and hydrate full history only when needed, preserving search, copy, export, queued requests, and remote questions. Keep unchanged image reconciliation messages stable so list refreshes no longer resend the entire saved history. Prepare Desktop 0.13.6 with the approved bilingual notes and aligned feature matrices. Agent remains 0.13.0; no LoongArch preview or navigation demo edits are included. Development validation passed 4301 tests with 67 skipped; the user requested CI validation instead of repeating local release checks. Release note: 历史会话按需加载，减少切回应用时的重复保存和内存占用，同时保留完整历史、搜索与续聊。
GoodBuddy
Desktop access to model chat, coding agents, knowledge, and scheduled work

Website · Download · Feature Matrix · Build Guide
GoodBuddy is a desktop application for model chat, coding agents, knowledge retrieval, notes, and scheduled tasks. No GoodBuddy account is required. Workspace data is stored locally by default. Model endpoints can run on the same device, on a private network, or at a provider selected by the user.
Highlights
- Local-first workspace: No GoodBuddy account is required. Workspace data stays local by default, and users choose where model services run.
- Unified Agent Runtimes: Use direct models, OpenCode, Continue, and the preview DeepSeek Harness from one desktop interface.
- Explicit execution boundaries:
Askremains read-only, whileExecuteuses the current account's permissions. Tool activity, cancellation, timeouts, and token usage are recorded. - Broad platform coverage: Official Linux releases cover
x64andarm64, including compatible distributions used in China's domestic computing ecosystem. A separate experimentalloong64preview is available for LoongArch systems. - Knowledge and long-running work: Knowledge bases, graphs, Magic Notes, tasks, and Smart Heartbeat share one desktop workspace.
Platform coverage describes operating-system, instruction-set, and package compatibility, not certification for every hardware vendor or distribution release. LoongArch is outside the official release matrix; see the LoongArch preview notes for its current limitations.

Agent Runtimes
| Runtime | Functions | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Direct models | Chat, retrieval, image generation, and built-in tools | GoodBuddy model connections |
| OpenCode | Coding agents, native commands, tools, and skills | GoodBuddy-managed or native OpenCode configuration |
| Continue | Rules, prompt presets, and coding tasks | GoodBuddy-managed or native Continue configuration |
| DeepSeek Harness (preview) | A fixed host with optional plugin capabilities | GoodBuddy-managed OpenAI-compatible connection |
Each run reports cancellation, timeouts, token usage, tool calls, and history. Runtime-specific capabilities and configuration remain separate.

The experimental LoongArch loong64 build is distributed through a separate
preview channel on the product website.
Desktop installers do not contain remote Agent payloads. Local projects do not need an Agent package; managed SSH users download or import one explicitly in Settings.
Code signing and macOS notarization are not configured yet, so the operating system may display a security warning.
Run from source
Requires Node.js 24 and npm:
git clone https://github.com/mesalogo/goodbuddy.git

Privacy and execution boundaries
- Model requests are sent only to services selected by the user.
- Local data stays in the operating system's application data directory by default. API keys are encrypted by secure system storage.
- The Renderer has no access to raw Electron APIs or model credentials.
- The DeepSeek Harness plugin marketplace is off by default. Third-party install scripts, initialization code, and Execute tools run with the current user's permissions.
- Remote delegation is enabled only after the user configures an endpoint and token.
- Private-network compatibility permits in-app HTTP and non-standard HTTPS certificates. WeChat credential and media endpoints remain strictly validated.
