Beads
Local issue memory that helps coding agents keep track of work across sessions and branches.
What it helps with
Beads is a local command-line issue tracker designed to give coding agents durable task memory. It can initialize project guidance for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other assistants, while keeping task state close to Git. An agency can use it for multi-session work, handoffs, and parallel branches without moving every detail into a hosted tracker. It is still a developer workflow, and upgrades involving remote-backed databases require careful backup and migration.
Best fit
Best for agent-heavy engineering teams and long projects; not for non-technical teams wanting a visual project-management app.
Setup reality
Needs developer. Package installs are simple, but project initialization, Git roles, hooks, sync, and upgrades need technical care.
License context
Permissive licenseBusiness use and modification are generally allowed. Keep required notices and review trademarks, dependencies, and hosted-service terms.MIT. Commercial use and modification are permitted with notice retention.
