Open source · for the bext engine

Inspect, debug & manage your bext fleet.

A native desktop app that talks straight to bext's built-in admin API — requests, caches, config, realtime, and workflows in one window. Local servers or remote, over SSH.

One window, the whole server

Everything bext exposes, made visible

Companion surfaces the engine's internals as panels you can actually click through — no curl-ing the admin API by hand.

Request Inspector

Live request waterfall. Replay any request, diff responses, export HAR.

Cache Explorer

Browse ISR, fragment, and tenant caches. Invalidate by tag with one click.

Config Editor

Visual TOML editor with schema validation and a diff preview before you apply.

Realtime Monitor

Topic tree, message inspector, and a live connection table for WebSocket / SSE.

Plugin Workshop

Scaffold plugins and run them in a sandboxed QuickJS playground.

Flow Debugger

Workflow timeline with step inputs, outputs, and crash-recovery replay.

Local or remote

Point it at localhost or tunnel into any production box over SSH. Manage as many instances as you run, side by side.

Works headless

Run Companion without a GUI in CI — validate configs, check conformance, and export traces as part of your pipeline.

$ bext-companion --headless --check conformance
