New & notable

7

Hand-picked recent additions.

BB OfficeNewTurns active BB threads into a draggable pixel-art office with live worker state, thread navigation, usage indicators, and agent-configurable behavior.

Bots SidebarNewKeep specialist bots, their memory, and their conversations together across projects. Organize chats with activity-aware trees, drag-to-bot assignment, and a state editor. Route new project conversations to an owner and coordinate bots with @ mentions or attributed messages. Uses your configured BB providers with no additional service or account. Project-folder creation requires POSIX paths.

Tobias Lütke12

KERNEL BrowserNewOpen, watch, and drive KERNEL cloud browsers from bb threads and the bb CLI.

UsageNewTracks coding-agent token usage and estimated API cost across enrolled machines.

Themes & Appearance

16

Personalize how bb looks and feels.

AuraMake your BB workspace your own with personal wallpapers and animated pixel textures. Save six backgrounds and switch between them in one click. Choose half or full wallpaper on New thread, and keep full-height wallpaper beside readable conversations. Images stay on your BB server; no external account is required.

Mateo Cerquetella12

AyuAdds the three ayu themes (Light, Dark and Mirage) and a settings panel that switches between them and copies any colour from the palette.

Vedran Burojević70

Conductor ThemeApplies the Conductor workspace aesthetic across bb with roasted espresso and native black surfaces, warm brown message cards, bone typography, and emerald accents.

Thread Management

20

Find, identify, organize, or archive threads.

Action TopbarKeep open BB panel tabs within reach above every thread. Search tabs and Actions from one launcher, reorder tabs, close them in place, and drag supported Actions into split panes. Requires BB 0.40+ and Plugin SDK 0.4.33+.

Mateo Cerquetella9

Arc SwitcherCycles through your seven most recently opened BB chats with an Arc-style Command-D switcher.

Elliott McNary45

Auto ArchiveAutomatically archives bb threads that have seen no activity for a configurable number of days.

Shane Logsdon60

Thread Content

19

Change what people see or do inside an open thread.

Agent BoardSee what BB agents are doing and what needs attention. Follow models, tools, public progress updates, and bounded execution timelines in global and thread views. Optional Ollama Fleet 0.6.0 or newer adds delegated local job visibility; Redteam is also optional. Requires BB.

@PluginAdds installed and Community plugins to bb's @ menu. Use this to tell your agent about a plugin without describing its capabilities, or to search for community plugins and then have your agent install them for you.

Better LaTeXRenders $...$ and leftover \[...\] / \(...\) math in BB chat.

Memory & Context

3

Control durable knowledge or standing context available to agents.

NoemaBridges BB threads to your own Noema server over its Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint for durable, searchable memory across sessions.

Progressive SkillSmart skill index compaction — usage-ranked, budget-capped skill lists so agents load the right skills.

Project InstructionsGives each bb project its own standing instructions and adds them to the system prompt of every thread in that project, without writing anything into the repository.

Security

1

Protect credentials or prevent unsafe code.

Security GuidancePattern-matched security warnings for code the agent writes — 25 rules covering unsafe deserialization, injection, XSS, and crypto footguns.

Agents & Providers

25

Add, choose, configure, route, or coordinate who runs a thread.

Agent PluginsInstalls plugins that follow the Agent Plugins spec in BB, making their skills and approved MCP tools available to Codex and other BB providers; it is not a Claude marketplace integration.

Agent ProxyRuns CLIProxyAPI as a persistent macOS or Linux service, with OAuth account management, provider routing, usage stats, and one-step wiring for Claude Code and Codex.

Scott Sunarto37

AmpAdds Amp as a bb provider through a bundled ACP bridge built on the official @ampcode/sdk, running locally or inside an Orb sandbox.

Scott Sunarto23

Token Usage & Limits

13

Understand or control token, context-window, and provider-quota use.

Auto CompactCompacts thread context automatically once usage reaches a configurable percentage, with a manual Compact button in every thread header.

Dummy-pixel-hash4

Context HealthSee what contributes to your thread’s context usage. Search recorded text, inspect observed skill reads and browse available skills. Optional Codex session detail reads logs on the thread host; no separate account or paid service is required.

Context MeterKeeps threads in the smart zone, by tracking context against a limit you set rather than the provider's full window.

Notifications

6

Know when work finished, failed, or needs attention.

Needs AttentionRanks the top threads that need you on the bb homepage: errors, pending input, and unread finished turns, most urgent first.

Shane Logsdon79

ChimePlays configurable notification sounds when bb turns start, finish, fail, pause for a question, or request approval.

Guilherme J. Tramontina118

NotifySends a native macOS notification when a bb thread finishes or fails, and adds a notify_user agent tool plus a bb notify command.

Scott Sunarto186

Code & Reviews

15

Work with repositories, builds, changes, pull requests, issues, and reviews.

AdvisorAdds a persistent second-model reviewer to BB coding threads, with tracked findings and fail-closed review status.

Salem Sayed Abdel Gawad118

Call StacksAgents publish call-stack flow diagrams — types moving through calls, with conditions, loops, and before/after change markers — into a live thread panel with tree, diagram, and swimlane views, drift tracking against the workspace, inline code snippets, and diffs.

Ethan Greenfeld36

Code ReviewLists the GitHub pull requests awaiting your review, runs your own review skills over one in a BB thread, and turns what it finds into individual review comments you edit and post yourself, each shown beside the code it refers to.

File Viewers & Editors

7

Browse, open, preview, or edit files and document vaults.

Audio PreviewPlays .m4a and other audio files in BB's file panel, including audio/mp4 that the built-in preview refuses.

Braedon Saunders15

File ManagerBrowse, upload, download, move, rename and extract files under your home folder — as a full-page bb panel, as a tab in the side panel beside a thread, or straight from a message: right-click a file link and "File location" opens its folder with the file selected. Double-click or Enter opens a file to read it: beside a thread it goes to bb's own preview panel, and on the full page the manager shows it itself — images, PDF, video and audio play in place, Markdown is rendered, and everything else opens with syntax highlighting. Space quick-looks the focused row, a gallery view shows thumbnails, Properties answers what a file or folder actually is, bookmarks keep the folders you live in one click away, and a file can be handed to the agent as an @-mention — including from the composer's + menu, which otherwise only reaches the browser's machine. Multi-gigabyte uploads resume after a dropped connection.

FilesBrowse and edit the workspace behind a thread in an editor layout: a searchable file tree on the left, tabs across the top, and the whole file in the middle. Opens as a full-page panel or as a tab beside a thread, where it is pinned to that thread's worktree so it shows the files the agent is editing. Cmd+P ranks files by path; clicking one opens it in its own tab, syntax-highlighted in your BB code theme. Saves are guarded by the hash the file had when it was opened, so an edit an agent made underneath you stops the save and offers Reload or Overwrite. For a workspace on the machine BB runs on it walks the directory itself, so dotfiles appear. Adds a `bb files` command that gives agents the same listing, which reads the right disk when the workspace is on another machine.

Cloud & Remote

1

Run bb work in cloud environments or access bb from elsewhere.

Cloud MachinesCreates bb machines on Vercel Sandboxes from reusable templates that bake in tooling and inject agent credentials at creation, so a remote machine is ready to run threads without manual setup.

Command Line

4

Work with shells and command-line programs inside bb.

Floating TerminalAdds a draggable terminal window over bb, opened from the sidebar footer or Ctrl+`, with a tab per shell in any project checkout or machine home directory; tabs are persisted, so a reload or a bb restart reattaches to the same shells with their scrollback.

Vedran Burojević85

Hmm Floating TerminalKeep a shell open beside the project you are working in, without leaving the conversation for a panel or another app. The window follows the project: leave for another one and it steps aside, come back and its tabs return with the dev server still running. Shells belong to the project checkout rather than to a thread, so moving between a project's threads never costs you one. Sessions belong to BB, so closing the window leaves a build or an ssh session running and reopening replays the scrollback. Drag the grip to resize, minimize to the title bar, or maximize to fill the app. Requires BB 0.42 or newer and Plugin SDK 0.4.47 or newer.

Fadli HidayatullahNew

Terminal JobsRuns terminal commands that outlive agent turns, keeps job records and output logs, and sends completion notices to the owning BB thread.

Utilities

5

Inspect or control the computers bb runs on.

Browser Session ImportSigns every ordinary BB Browser tab into one imported cookie session. Import once from a local Chrome, Firefox, or other browser profile, or from a JSON cookie export, and the shared session carries those logins to existing and new tabs. Re-import any time to replace the session, and remove it with one button to clear the Browser. Cookies are read on this machine only; native profiles read on macOS and Linux, while JSON exports work anywhere the BB desktop runs.

Disk UsageShows what's taking up disk space on the bb server host, ncdu-style, with drill-down by directory and a bb disk-usage CLI.

Nicolas Charpentier41

Host MonitorMonitors CPU, memory, disk, network throughput, load, uptime, and user-owned processes across every machine enrolled in bb, with guarded controls to stop eligible processes.

Mateo Cerquetella70

Plugin Development

4

Understand, inspect, build, or debug bb and its plugin surfaces.

Agentation → MentionsBased on Agentation by Scott Sunarto; preserves visual annotation and adds bb-native mentions, queued thread delivery, verified identity tags, a distinct tool/CLI namespace, and local annotation storage.

AgentationAdds an annotation toolbar to bb: point at any part of the interface, including other plugins' surfaces, and send the marked-up elements to a thread as structured feedback agents can read, reply to, and resolve.

BB UI ReferenceShows BB's plugin surface map alongside live demonstrations of the active semantic theme palette.

Tasks & Workflows

13

Plan, track, route, schedule, or automate work.

ChecklistsKeeps a persisted set of agent-owned steps attached to each BB thread and continues incomplete work automatically.

ChiefCoordinates project supervisors that delegate work to managed worker and reviewer threads and follow it through completion.

DispatchTurns a one-liner into a scoped thread in the right project: classifies which bb project it belongs to, expands it into a full prompt, and spawns the thread.

Command CenterBoards every dispatched request and open question as a card, lets you reply or comment on an agent's work straight from the board, and sends macOS notifications when a card's status changes. Includes Chief: one global Chief, a project chief per project, and task architects, for routing dispatched work through an org instead of a flat worker thread. Requires the Tasks plugin — the board offers a one-click install if it isn't already there, but never installs it silently — and, for voice input, microphone access. If you also run the `notify` plugin, expect two macOS banners for overlapping events — this one fires on board-card status, `notify` on thread lifecycle.
