See which bb server you are on and switch to another server on your account in one click. A strip above the sidebar footer shows the current server's name, address, online status, and your GitHub avatar. Click it to list the other servers on your bb account; offline servers are greyed out, and in the desktop app the switch goes through the app's own server menu. Give each server its own colored ring, from seven presets, a custom color, or a two-color gradient, in a picker beside the sidebar or with the bb server-switcher ring command. Requires a bb signed in to a bb account with the bundled bb connect plugin enabled.

Server Switcher

See which bb server you are on at a glance, and jump to another server on your bb account with one click.

What you get

  • Current server at a glance. A strip above the sidebar footer, open by default, shows the server's name, its getbb.app address, your GitHub avatar, and whether it is online. Opening another plugin's footer panel takes its place; click your avatar in the footer to bring it back.
  • One-click switching. Click the strip to list the other servers on your bb account. Offline servers are greyed out. In a browser the tab opens the server you pick; in the bb desktop app the switch goes through the app's own server menu.
  • Colored rings to tell servers apart. Every server starts with its own two-color gradient ring. Click any avatar to pick a preset or custom color, click the bar to make a two-color gradient, remove the ring, or reset it.
  • The same controls from the CLI. bb server-switcher ring list | set <server> <color> [<color>] | clear <server> | reset <server>.

Requirements

  • bb 0.46 or newer, signed in to a bb account (bb account login), with the bundled bb connect plugin enabled. The server list and avatar come from your getbb.app account.
  • Rings are saved on the server you are viewing, so each server keeps its own choices.
  • In the bb mobile app the list is read-only.

AmbientTurns bb's background into a live scene that shows what your agents are doing at a glance. Each working agent becomes a character in the scene, a thread waiting on you pulses, and a finished turn sends out a ripple that turns red on an error. Describe a scene in your own words and an agent paints it in a new thread, complete with its own sliders, or let a daily automation paint a new one each day. Ten built-in scenes, including Poppy Hill, Koi Pond, and Starry Fjord, each have their own sliders and four-color palette. Runs inside bb with no external service; each painted scene uses one agent turn on your default provider.NewPlugin FinderFind the plugin for your task without leaving the thread. Type # or @ and a keyword to search the plugins you have and the ones in BB Community, then mention the one you want your agent to use. Your agent can also search the catalog itself from the command line.53Color SwatchesShows a color chip beside CSS values in messages, code, and diffs, so you can recognize colors without copying them into another tool.24Context KatamariShows how full each thread's context window is as a katamari that grows with every turn and pops when bb compacts. A floating window gives the open thread a 3D toy-box world whose ball size tracks tokens used against the auto-compact point. The HUD shows tokens used, context left, a bar for each recent turn, and a count of compactions. The cousin rolls while the thread works, drops coins past 50k tokens, and gets dizzier after each compaction. Everything runs inside bb, with synthesized sound you can mute.New
