# Bead Me Up, Scotty

> A free, open-source Beads viewer, UI and editor for Steve Yegge's Beads issue tracker for AI agents. Create and edit beads directly through a local graphical interface backed by the bd CLI.

Scotty combines drag-and-drop Kanban, priorities, epics, a dependency graph, search, multiple projects and live updates. It is built to keep pace with current Beads releases and Dolt-backed Beads; consult Scotty release notes for version-specific updates. It is an independent community project, not an official Beads product.
