A tiny ritual with surprising power
Choose your evening. Choose your Butler. Let the day end.
Pick a personality
Start Shy, stay Insistent, summon Zombie, or let Progressive mode turn up the persuasion.
Notice, then stop
Hear a voice, see a persistent badge, or use both. Snooze once, pause tonight, and carry on tomorrow.
At home in macOS
Always near. Never in the way.
Beddy Butler stays in the menu bar until you need him. One click reveals tonight at a glance. A right click opens every useful command.
- Tonight, clearlyYour next nudge, active personality, schedule, and pause state.
- One night freedomAdjust tonight without disrupting the routine you rely on.
- Time zone awareTravels, clock changes, sleep, and wake all recalculate automatically.

Made for real lives
Your week does not have to look like anyone else's.
Weekends, worship, late shifts, rotating rosters, travel, and the occasional exception all belong in a bedtime app.
Any nights you choose
Name two independent schedules and assign any weekdays to either. Friday and Saturday are no longer assumptions.
Rotating shifts
Build a cycle from working and rest nights. Beddy follows the pattern forward and backward from your chosen anchor date.
One night adjustment
Running late or turning in early? Change tonight only. Your carefully made schedule remains untouched.
Progressive persuasion
Let reminders naturally escalate as the window continues, then reset to gentle when a new evening begins.
Built for clock changes
Calendar based scheduling handles midnight, daylight saving, time zones, sleep, wake, and manual clock corrections.
Three manners of persuasion
How firmly may he insist?
Every voice is original. The restored library has been carefully balanced and the longest Zombie monologues have been split into mercifully short nudges.
A gentle hint
Shy
Soft, courteous encouragement for those who only need a nudge.
A firmer word
Insistent
Clearer direction when courtesy alone is not quite getting through.
The final resort
Zombie
A chilling forewarning of how you might feel tomorrow, staying up far beyond any reasonable hour.
A reminder does not have to make a sound
Designed to be noticed, but not get in your way.
Choose a voice, a persistent visual badge, or both. Optional silent Notification Centre alerts add actions without adding noise.
Persistent visual nudgesThe menu bar badge remains until you acknowledge it.
Native accessibilityVoiceOver, Full Keyboard Access, Reduced Motion, and Reduced Transparency.
Quiet by choiceNotification alerts stay silent and offer Acknowledge, Snooze, and Pause.
Your bedtime is your business
Everything stays on your Mac.
No account. No advertising. No analytics. No schedule leaves your computer. Beddy Butler is a small, self contained app with no network entitlement.
Read the privacy policyA silly little app, lovingly restored
Ten years later, the Butler returns.
Beddy Butler began in 2016 as a playful cure for nights that went on too long. The new edition keeps the original character and recordings, then rebuilds everything around them in native Swift 6 for modern macOS.
It is still silly. It is now also somewhat good.
The evening can end beautifully
Put tomorrow's you to bed.
