WorkingThe IDE that builds itself, open source and local-first
What stands out
Taken from the page and the access facts we recorded. Nothing here is guessed.
- run an IDE that can automate itself
- drive Claude Code or Codex from one local workspace
- Free
- Source is public
What we checked
A missing tick means we have not measured it. A red mark is a check that failed.
App accessible
The project site answered. That is not the installed tool running.
Page rendered
No browser probe yet. An HTTP 200 is not this check.

Evidence
Each bar is one request to the project's own siteThis one is installed and run on your own machine, so what we re-check is the project’s site — whether it is still published and still reachable. We cannot tell you from here that the tool itself runs.

How it looked
11 hours ago
We hash the visible text on every check, so a redesign registers and a rotating advert does not. An app that has not changed in a long time is not necessarily abandoned — but it is a fact worth knowing before you depend on it.
What it does
bb is an IDE you download for macOS or install with npx. The page says it can control, customize and automate itself, is fully open source and local-first, and works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents. Sign-in is offered.
What people say
No reviews yet.
We would rather show none than invent them.
Embed this status
Put it in your README. It updates itself every time we check, and links to your verification record — evidence a stranger can read, not a page selling them something.
