Beetool for Mac
Documentation
How each part of Beetool works — from the first launch to agent teams. New here? Start with What is Beetool.
Get started
- What is BeetoolOne Mac app for the whole development flow — Git, code, review, terminal, database, API client and docs — with AI in every step.
- Install & first launchDownload the disk image, allow the beta once in System Settings, then connect your AI and your Git host.
- Projects, workspaces & navigationEvery project has four workspaces; tools open as tabs; the command palette reaches everything from the keyboard.
- Keyboard shortcutsThe default keys. Most can be changed in Settings › Keyboard shortcuts.
AI
- AI assistantAsk about the code or for a change. The assistant reads the project; its edits arrive as diffs you accept or reject.
- AI providers & modelsConnect the AI accounts you already have — several side by side — and choose which one each job uses.
- Knowledge & project contextDocuments, a repo map and product notes give every AI run the context it needs — built and kept on your Mac.
- Agent teamsTalk to a Lead that plans, works alone or delegates to agents — each in a private worktree, each diff reviewed.
- AI usage & run ledgerSee tokens, cost and tool calls of every AI run, and what each run actually read.
- MCP serverLet Claude Code, Codex and other tools read and move your board, use your project context and run Beequest requests.
Code & Git
- Code editorA fast editor with language servers, inline blame, git change bars and a local history of every save.
- Run, test & debugBeetool finds how a project runs and puts it behind ▶ and Test — with watch mode and a debugger for Go and Node.
- TerminalA terminal under the code with a history-aware input, clickable file:line and SSH in the same place.
- GitCommit, branch, sync and dig through history — plus visual tools for the git commands people look up every time.
- Merge requestsReview GitLab and GitHub merge requests in a real diff view, with blame, symbols and drafts posted only when you submit.
- AI review & rule setsA review pipeline that applies your team's rules, fact-checks its findings and leaves them as drafts on the exact lines.
Work
- Beework tasks & boardOne change across several repositories: a branch in each, one AI conversation, commits and merge requests together.
- ProductsGroup the repositories that make one product and describe how they fit — once, for every AI run.
- Docs & AI DocsEvery Markdown file of a project as a linked, searchable knowledge base — and documents the AI writes section by section.
Tools
- DatabaseBrowse, edit and query PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, ClickHouse and MongoDB — directly or through an SSH host.
- Beequest — HTTP clientRequests, environments, scripts and flows in the same app as your code — no browser, no CORS.
- SSH, SFTP & VaultHosts, file transfer, remote editing, keys and secrets — all in the macOS Keychain.
- Processes & networkWhat runs on your Mac and why, which port it holds — and where a connection to a host breaks.
- Text filesOpen any text file outside a project — with Notepad++-style find, mark and replace, and previews.
