description: Run background sync daemon argument-hint: [--global] [--stop] [--status] [--health]

Run a background daemon that manages database connections and optionally syncs with git.

Daemon Modes

  • Local daemon: Socket at .beads/bd.sock (per-repository)
  • Global daemon: Socket at ~/.beads/bd.sock (all repositories)

On Windows these files store the daemons loopback TCP endpoint metadata—leave them in place so bd can reconnect.

Common Operations

  • Start: bd daemon or bd daemon --global
  • Stop: bd daemon --stop or bd daemon --global --stop
  • Status: bd daemon --status or bd daemon --global --status
  • Health: bd daemon --health - shows uptime, cache stats, performance metrics
  • Metrics: bd daemon --metrics - detailed operational telemetry

Sync Options

  • --auto-commit: Automatically commit JSONL changes
  • --auto-push: Automatically push commits to remote
  • --interval: Sync check interval (default: 5m)

Migration

  • --migrate-to-global: Migrate from local to global daemon

The daemon provides:

  • Connection pooling and caching
  • Better performance for frequent operations
  • Automatic JSONL sync
  • Optional git sync
