DriveBuddy

Make Google Drive more fun with quick shortcuts, daily quests, a focus timer, mini-games and a customisable mascot.

DriveBuddy is a friendly productivity companion that lives in Chrome's side panel and makes everyday work in Google Drive a little more enjoyable. Find your files faster Type a search in the side panel and DriveBuddy opens Google Drive's own search results in a new tab. Shortcut buttons take you straight to the Drive pages you visit most, and you can save your favourite folders and documents with your own names, icons and colours. Stay motivated Each day brings three small quests based on what you actually do in DriveBuddy. Completing them earns points, levels up your profile, builds a daily streak and unlocks achievements. Rewards are capped each day, so progress reflects real work rather than repeated clicking. Focus and take good breaks A built-in focus timer keeps accurate time even when the side panel is closed, with an optional notification when a session ends. A simple checklist helps you plan clean-up jobs, quick notes capture ideas while you work, and three short offline games make for a refreshing break. Make it yours Pick a colour theme, switch between light and dark mode, reduce motion or turn on gentle sounds, and dress up Buddy, the mascot who cheers you on. Private by design DriveBuddy has no account, servers, analytics, ads or tracking. It cannot see your files, your Google account or the pages you visit. Everything is stored locally in Chrome, and you can export or delete it at any time. DriveBuddy is an independent extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
