bbbbb: AI Coding Agent Alerts
Notifications that stay
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
Get notified on your iPhone when your AI coding agent finishes a task or needs your input. Updates that need a response stay in your private inbox until you resolve them.
bbbbb (pronounced "B-five") also accepts updates from builds, tests, deployments, backups, scripts, and services that can send a web request. You can leave a task running and check the result when you're ready.
Questions, failures, and requests for approval go to Attention. Routine updates go to Activity. You can also send yourself a reminder to deal with later. Respond to questions and approve work in the original tool.
To connect your AI coding agent, tell it:
"Set up bbbbb at bbbbb.app/setup."
Approve the connection on your iPhone with a temporary QR code or six-digit code. The agent saves a private HTTP Source for sending updates. For apps, webhooks, and automations, create an HTTP Source directly in bbbbb. The optional CLI for macOS and Linux can wrap a command and report the result: success goes to Activity, failure to Attention.
Each update shows where it came from. Search and filter by text, status, Source, or date, and rename, pause, or remove a Source whenever you need to. If you miss a notification, open bbbbb to catch up on recent updates.
Your inbox is private. Sources can send updates but cannot read it. Notifications hide job details, and recent updates are stored encrypted for catch-up. The CLI encrypts messages before sending; HTTP messages are encrypted before storage. Face ID or your device passcode protects the inbox. There are no accounts, ads, tracking, or remote-control features.
Every core feature is free. Plus adds higher update limits, longer encrypted catch-up, and JSON and CSV export on your device. It's a one-time purchase.
Requires iOS 18.4 or later. The interface is available in English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. Choose a language in Settings > App language. Source names and messages stay in their original language. Notification banners use generic English text; open the app to read the update.
