Beadbox – Real-time dashboard for managing coding agent issue trackers

Summary: Beadbox is a native desktop app that visualizes issue tracking data from the beads system in real time, showing epic progress and dependency relationships without requiring CLI commands. It monitors the .beads/ filesystem directly to update status changes instantly, supporting macOS, Linux, and Windows.

What it does

Beadbox renders the beads issue tracker as a visual dashboard, displaying epic trees with progress bars, blocking dependencies, and workspace switching for multiple projects. It updates immediately when agents change statuses in the terminal by watching the .beads/ filesystem.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers and teams running multiple AI coding agents who need real-time visibility into issue status and project progress without relying on CLI commands.

Why it matters

Beadbox solves the problem of limited visibility from CLI tools by providing a clear, real-time visual overview of agent workflows and issue dependencies.
