{"slug": "repobs-a-local-dashboard-to-manage-agent-worktrees-and-branches", "title": "Repobs – A local dashboard to manage agent worktrees and branches", "summary": "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steps, and adds review states, tags, aliases, notes, checklists and automation rules such as 'idle for 7 days → Outdated' kept separate from the agents' work.", "body_md": "# repobs[¶](#repobs)\n\n*every worktree and coding agent, on one local timeline.*\n\nA read-only dashboard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.\n\n### See every branch[¶](#see-every-branch)\n\n*Your repositories, branches and worktrees on one timeline.*\n\n- Forks, merges, unpushed commits and uncommitted changes.\n- Scratch branches, detached HEADs and missing worktrees.\n- Commit order or calendar time; zoom, pan and fold quiet history.\n\n### Follow every agent[¶](#follow-every-agent)\n\n*Each Claude Code and Codex agent, on the branch it worked on.*\n\n- Its status with the evidence behind it, and *Unknown* when there is none.\n- The sub-agents it spawned and its latest message.\n- The plan it keeps with its planning tool, step by step.\n\n### Review on your terms[¶](#review-on-your-terms)\n\n*Your notes on the agents, kept apart from their work.*\n\n- Review states, tags, aliases and notes.\n- Checklists: the agent's plan first, then your own items.\n- Automation rules, for example *idle for 7 days → Outdated* .\n\n### Local and read-only[¶](#local-and-read-only)\n\n*Nothing leaves your machine, and nothing is written to your repositories.*\n\n- repobs listens on `127.0.0.1` only, has no telemetry and calls no model API.\n- Git is used only through read-only commands; agent files and configuration are never edited.\n- Message excerpts and plan steps stay in memory; your notes live under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\\repobs` .\n\nSee [Privacy & security](privacy-security/).\n\n[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.](guide/)\n\n[Developer For people who change repobs itself: the architecture, the HTTP API, testing, the progress log and the architecture decision records.](developer/)\n\n*See your agents on one timeline.*", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/repobs-a-local-dashboard-to-manage-agent-worktrees-and-branches", "canonical_source": "https://chengxuan-li.github.io/repobs/", "published_at": "2026-11-02 21:20:41+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-02 21:51:30.972406+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["repobs", "Claude Code", "Codex", "Git"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/repobs-a-local-dashboard-to-manage-agent-worktrees-and-branches", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/repobs-a-local-dashboard-to-manage-agent-worktrees-and-branches.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/repobs-a-local-dashboard-to-manage-agent-worktrees-and-branches.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/repobs-a-local-dashboard-to-manage-agent-worktrees-and-branches.jsonld"}}
