Repobs – A local dashboard to manage agent worktrees and branches

A new tool called repobs offers developers a read-only local dashboard that places every Git worktree and branch from multiple repositories on a single timeline alongside the Claude Code and Codex agents that worked on them. repobs listens only on 127.0.0.1, has no telemetry, calls no model API, uses Git only through read-only commands, and stores user notes under %LOCALAPPDATA%\repobs, keeping message excerpts and plan steps in memory. The dashboard shows agent status with supporting evidence (marking it Unknown when none exists), spawned sub-agents, latest messages and planning-tool steps, and adds review states, tags, aliases, notes, checklists and automation rules such as 'idle for 7 days → Outdated' kept separate from the agents' work.

every worktree and coding agent, on one local timeline.

A read-only dashboard for developers who run many coding agents across Git worktrees and branches: each repository's branches on one timeline, with the Claude Code and Codex agents that worked on them, what they are doing now, and what you still need to review.

See every branch

Your repositories, branches and worktrees on one timeline.

  • Forks, merges, unpushed commits and uncommitted changes.
  • Scratch branches, detached HEADs and missing worktrees.
  • Commit order or calendar time; zoom, pan and fold quiet history.

Follow every agent

Each Claude Code and Codex agent, on the branch it worked on.

  • Its status with the evidence behind it, and Unknown when there is none.
  • The sub-agents it spawned and its latest message.
  • The plan it keeps with its planning tool, step by step.

Review on your terms

Your notes on the agents, kept apart from their work.

  • Review states, tags, aliases and notes.
  • Checklists: the agent's plan first, then your own items.
  • Automation rules, for example idle for 7 days → Outdated .

Local and read-only

Nothing leaves your machine, and nothing is written to your repositories.

  • repobs listens on 127.0.0.1 only, has no telemetry and calls no model API.
  • Git is used only through read-only commands; agent files and configuration are never edited.
  • Message excerpts and plan steps stay in memory; your notes live under %LOCALAPPDATA%\repobs .

See Privacy & security. User guide For people who use repobs: installing it, the dashboard and its agent cards, review states, notes and checklists, automation, what each status means, and what stays private.

Developer For people who change repobs itself: the architecture, the HTTP API, testing, the progress log and the architecture decision records.

See your agents on one timeline.
