Real-time dashboard for beads
The dashboard for teams running AI coding agents
When you have four or five agents working in parallel, the terminal is no longer enough. Beadbox gives you a live view of the entire fleet: who is working on what, where the blockers are, and which epic is about to finish.
Fleet view
The Activity Dashboard shows every bead currently in progress, grouped by assignee. You can see all six agents side by side, what each is working on, how long it has been claimed, and whether any agent has gone idle.
No more peeking at terminal windows or asking the supervisor for status. The information is rendered the moment it changes.
Blockers surface automatically
A bead with unsatisfied dependencies is flagged the moment it enters the queue. You see the chain that is blocking it, the agent who owns the upstream work, and whether anyone is actively unblocking it.
Stuck work stops being invisible. You catch it before the retro.
Epic progress without status meetings
Every epic in the tree shows a progress bar computed from its child beads. Ready, in progress, ready for QA, closed. The rollup is live, so when an agent closes a bead, the epic bar moves.
This is the view you want in a standup. Not a Jira burndown generated last night. The current state, right now.
How it works
Beadbox watches your local .beads directory, or your Dolt server if the workspace is remote, and refreshes the UI whenever the database changes.
For multi-writer setups where your agents push to a shared Dolt remote, Beadbox connects to the server directly and shows every commit as it lands.
Who this is for
Teams running multi-agent coding workflows. If you have a supervisor agent dispatching work to engineers and QA agents, Beadbox is the window you keep open to watch the fleet.
Also useful for solo developers running one or two agents who want to see what their agents are doing without tailing logs.
Stop flying blind with your agent fleet
Install Beadbox, point it at your workspace, and in under a minute you will see what your agents are actually doing, where they are stuck, and which work is close to shipping.
