A village your way

Appearance

Choose a light, dark or system theme. Cream and plum preserve the Buddies identity; the village streetlights turn on in dark mode.

Five character families are available: Mochis, Dogs, Cats, Dinosaurs and Toucans. You can enable several. A family changes appearance, never the meaning of states.

Without the map

Hide the map to work with the agent list and conversation. The village view is unmounted; sessions and notifications continue working. RAM, CPU and GPU savings depend on your machine and have not been quantified.

Movement and framing

Pinch with two fingers to zoom in or out. Horizontal and vertical scrolling move around the map. Framing controls bring you back to the village or your desk.

Reduce animations in Appearance. Movement remains decorative: it does not change an agent’s real state.

Panels

Resize the list and conversation panel using their dividers. A panel that becomes too small can collapse; its anchor reopens it. The terminal uses the available width in the bottom panel.

Language and preferences

The app offers French, English and the system language. Simple preferences save automatically; a failed save must remain visible. Credentials, connections and remote activation require an explicit action.

The website has its own language choice. On the entry page, it uses your browser’s supported language, with English as the fallback. Use FR / EN in the header to switch while staying on the same page. Your explicit choice is saved in this browser. English and French pages have shareable URLs, and a direct link keeps its language. This setting does not change the desktop app.
