Desktop workspace for serious software work

Bento Board

Git work, notes, todos, floating tools, and AI agent sessions in one calm workspace that stays attached to the thing you are building.

The live demo is best on a desktop screen. Bento Board is a desktop app, so the tour uses a wide workspace. Open this page on a laptop or desktop to click through the real UI.

What Bento Board does

One place for the entire shape of a task.

Bento Board keeps the messy middle visible: the ticket, branch, PR, notes, agent context, floating tools, todos, and the small decisions that usually disappear between windows.

01

My Work graph

Work nodes are the center of the app. A node can hold a ticket, subtasks, Jira issue keys, linked branches, PR status, todos, and notebook context.

  • Arrange active work visually instead of hunting through tabs.
  • Attach branches and subtasks directly to the task they belong to.
  • See PR and CI signals where planning actually happens.
02

Floating tools

Browser, terminal, diff viewer, quick notes, quick agent, file explorer, screenshot capture, and toolkit wheel open as focused companion surfaces.

  • Keep docs, GitHub, terminal output, and diffs beside the work.
  • Reuse remembered tools per workspace instead of rebuilding setup.
  • Move quickly with keyboard-first utility windows.
03

AI agents with memory

Agent sessions are attached to work, not scattered across throwaway chats. Bento Board keeps the task, phase, transcript, artifacts, and handoff visible together.

  • Use QRSPI phases: research, design, outline, plan, implement.
  • Fork or resume sessions without losing why the work started.
  • Review generated artifacts from the same task surface.
04

Notebooks and todos

Notes and checklists live close to the project. Use notebooks for durable thinking, todos for execution, and inline task sync when a note turns into something actionable.

  • Build two-column notebooks for briefs, decisions, and handoffs.
  • Collect project-wide todos or attach them to tickets and subtasks.
  • Keep the tiny follow-up from escaping the work context.
05

Private GitHub sync

Bento Board can connect to GitHub, create or reuse a private repo named gitbetter-sync, and store your workspace as versioned project files.

  1. Export each project into its own namespaced folder.
  2. Commit the local snapshot, pull remote changes, and detect conflicts.
  3. Import clean state into local SQLite, resolve conflicts when needed, then push.

Small surfaces, serious context.

Bento Board is not another generic project manager. It is a workbench for reading a ticket, checking the branch, opening the diff, asking an agent to investigate, writing the handoff, and remembering what changed tomorrow.

Project-aware

Workspaces remember enabled toolkits, floating tools, notes, agent sessions, and sync state.

Jira and GitHub aware

Issue keys, links, PRs, branches, review status, and checks are part of the work surface.

Local-first

Structured data stays local first, then syncs through Git when you choose to connect GitHub.

Demo-safe

The website sandbox is seeded, clickable, and disposable. Refresh to start again.
