Beads — issues & agent memory
The agent’s issue tracker and persistent memory — issues created / in progress / closed, synced to the app.
- Creates, updates, closes
- Lives on the machine running the agent
- Mirrors issues + memories live
- Created / in progress / closed
Beads is the agent’s own issue tracker and persistent memory — a local database that lives on the machine (or codespace / self-hosted box) running the agent. As the agent creates, claims, and closes issues, the panel in the app mirrors it live, and team memories let an owner share conventions that carry into every teammate’s agent automatically.
Created / in progress / closed issues stay visible in the app as the agent works.
Issues and memories are stored on the machine or box running the agent — not on our servers.
The app only displays what’s happening — it never overwrites or takes over your issues.
An owner can share conventions that carry into every team member’s agent automatically.
