A fast Rust port of Steve Yegge's beads issue tracker, frozen at the classic SQLite + JSONL architecture. It stores tasks locally in SQLite and exports JSONL for git-based collaboration, designed for agent-driven development workflows.
Use cases
- track issues locally in a git repo without invasive files
- sync tasks across collaborators via JSONL in git
- manage agent swarm work queues
- migrate from original beads (bd) to a stable classic architecture
- query and update tasks from the command line
When to choose
- you depend on the classic beads SQLite + JSONL architecture
- you want a fast, local-first issue tracker for git repos
- your agent tooling (e.g., MCP Agent Mail, beads_viewer) targets that architecture
When to avoid
- you want Steve Yegge's latest beads direction (GasTown)
- you need a hosted or web-based issue tracker
- you require a permissively simple license (license is non-standard)
