About Die With Me
Die With Me is a Mac app that functions as a buddy list for tracking friends' AI usage. It shows Claude Code and Codex allowance statuses through small mascot characters on your desktop. When your own AI allowance runs low, the app unlocks a chatroom where you can connect with friends.
Review
Die With Me applies the visual language of old instant messenger buddy lists to the current moment of AI coding tools. Instead of dashboards or analytics, it uses mascots and status indicators to show who among your friends is actively using Claude Code or Codex. The app is free at launch, with an invite code system in place for access.
Key Features
- Buddy list that displays friends' Claude Code and Codex usage as mascot characters on Mac
- Custom status messages you can set for your own availability
- Room visits - you can check out a friend's room within the app
- Chatroom that unlocks when your AI allowance drops low
- AIM-style nostalgic interface drawing from early 2000s instant messenger design
Pricing and Value
Die With Me is currently listed as free. The pricing model beyond the initial launch period is not yet defined. Access during this phase requires an invite code, with a specific code shared for the Product Hunt community.
Pros
- Visual approach to tracking AI tool usage avoids the dryness of traditional dashboards
- Social layer adds a casual way to see which friends are coding with AI at the same time
- Chatroom feature creates a gathering point specifically when allowances run out
- Mascots keep visual consistency across status updates through image generation
- Nostalgic AIM aesthetic may appeal to developers who grew up with early instant messaging
Cons
- Only tracks Claude Code and Codex - doesn't cover other AI coding tools like Cursor or Copilot
- Mac-only at this stage, with no mention of Windows or Linux versions
- Not well suited for developers who work solo or don't have friends using the same AI tools
Conclusion
Die With Me fits teams or friend groups who already use Claude Code or Codex and want a lightweight, social way to see each other's activity. It's less useful for solo developers or those on operating systems other than Mac. The invite-only free access means interested users should grab a code while that window remains open.
