GitHub Board

Get it for macOS

See your GitHub issues, pull requests and discussions on one board, and hand any of them to an agent thread. Four columns cover what you wrote, what is open on repositories you own and what is assigned to you, and an issue that a pull request closes folds into that pull request's card. Pull request cards show CI checks and branch status, with an Update branch button wherever you can push. A detail panel shows the body, comments and images, and labels are added or removed from a right-click menu. Send to chat opens bb's new-thread composer on a card, with a prompt you set per column and per project, in the bb project that has the repository checked out. Add to chat puts the same prompt, the card's column template with the chat's project override, at the end of a chat's draft without sending it, from a menu of the chats on screen and your recent threads. Requires bb 0.46 or later, and the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and signed in on the machine running the bb server.

Overview

View source

A GitHub board inside bb: your issues, draft pull requests, open pull requests and discussions in four columns, beside the threads that work on them.

What you get

  • The work you wrote, whatever is open on repositories you own, and what is assigned to you, on one board. On a narrow window the columns become tabs.
  • Issues fold into the pull request that closes them, so one piece of work is one card.
  • Open pull requests show their CI checks, and an out-of-date or conflicting branch says so, with an Update branch button wherever you can push to the repository.
  • A detail panel with the body, comments and images. Images from outside GitHub load only when you ask.
  • Labels added and removed from a right-click menu.
  • Send to chat opens bb's new-thread composer on a card, with a prompt you can set per column and per project, in the bb project that has the repository checked out.
  • Add to chat puts the same prompt at the end of a chat's draft, using that chat's project's prompt, without sending it. Pick a chat on screen or a recent thread, which opens beside the board.

What it needs

bb 0.46 or later, and the GitHub CLI, gh, installed and signed in on the machine running the bb server. The board uses that login and stores no token of its own.

FirstMate CrewHand one agent your to-do list and it runs a crew of worker threads, each in its own git worktree, until the work lands. The first mate is a pinned thread in bb's own chat that writes each worker's instructions, supervises it, and brings back branches, pull requests, findings and only the decisions that are yours. A FirstMate tab shows the crew as a board of Queued, Working, Blocked, Parked, Done, Failed and Idle, with Steer, Interrupt, Relaunch and End on every card. A built-in watch tells the first mate within about five minutes when a pull request is merged, reviewed or changes check status. Requires bb 0.46 or later, git, and the logged-in gh CLI for the pull request watch; a capable model such as Claude Sonnet is recommended for the first mate.NewHeraldHear one spoken sentence when an agent needs you, and see every waiting thread in one list. When a thread asks a question, waits for a plan or a permission to be approved, finishes its turn or fails, the bb app says which thread it is and what it needs, on whatever page you are on. A Herald page in the sidebar lists every thread waiting on you with its reason and sentence, and the same sentence sits above that thread's composer with a Read again button until you answer. Settings choose which kinds of event are announced, the voice and speed, and where to speak: the desktop app, a browser tab, or the mobile app while it is open. By default the sentence is built from the event itself, with no model or external service; optionally, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI or a command of your own, installed and logged in on the Mac running bb, writes it instead, for one short model turn per announcement. The default voice needs bb running on a Mac, and elsewhere each device's own browser voice speaks.NewScheduled JobsRun shell commands on your Mac on a cron schedule or a fixed interval, as launchd jobs that keep running while bb is closed. Each job is a LaunchAgent plist that launchd owns, so a missed fire runs once when the Mac wakes and a disabled job stays disabled across reboots. A sidebar page shows each job's launchd status, its last twenty runs with duration and exit code, and the tail of its log, which you can follow live. Run now, Enable, Disable, Edit and Delete do the launchctl work for you, and commands run through your login shell with your terminal's PATH. The sidebar row counts failing jobs, and a picker switches between the Macs connected to bb. macOS only.NewModel PricingCompare what every AI model costs per million tokens, across Anthropic, OpenAI, Fireworks AI, Ollama Cloud and OpenRouter, in one table. A Relative column ranks each model against the cheapest one on screen, weighted by an input/output blend you choose. Each row also gives the context window, the longest reply, and whether the model can reason, call tools or return structured output. Sort by any column, search by name, hide a provider with its legend dot, and open any model's own page from its row. Prices come from the public models.dev catalog and OpenRouter's model list and are kept for twelve hours; no account or key is needed, but the machine running the bb server must reach both sites.New
