About

Buddy95 — your friendly motivational companion in a nostalgic Windows 95 style.

As you browse the web, Buddy95 periodically shows motivational pop-up messages right on the page — gentle reminders that you're doing great.

✦ FEATURES

• Retro Windows 95 interface — both the popup settings panel and the on-page message bubbles are styled as classic Win95 windows with title bars, beveled buttons, and that unmistakable silver look.

• 4 Languages — Russian, English, Spanish, and Chinese. Over 150 unique messages per language.

• Gender-aware messages — choose between unisex, male, or female message sets for more personal and relevant motivation.

• Configurable timing — set how often messages appear (1–120 minutes) and how long they stay on screen (3–60 seconds).

• Light, Dark & System themes — follows your OS preference or lets you choose manually.

• Animations — pick between smooth Scale or Fade animations for appearing/disappearing bubbles.

• Custom bubble shape — upload your own image to use as a mask for the bubble shape.

• Text size control — adjust message font size from 10px to 28px.
