Realtime kanban for teams

The board that
feels alive.

Cards move, teammates appear, and everything stays calm. Kanbanboard makes collaboration something you can sense across the room — presence, never noise.

No credit card. Your first board in under a minute.

This is a small working demo. Pick a card with Enter or Space, move it between columns with the left and right arrow keys, then press Enter to drop it. You can also drag cards with the mouse.

Go on — drag a card. It's a real board.

The shape of work, on one board

Product squads Design studios Founders Agencies Ops teams
Presence, not noise

Two people. One board. It feels like the same room.

When a teammate moves a card, you see it glide — not a notification, not a refresh. Cursors drift, avatars gather, edits land softly. Collaboration you can feel without ever being interrupted by it.

Live cursors & presence

See who's here and where they're working, the instant they arrive.

Optimistic, never dropped

Your move lands instantly and reconciles against the live ledger — no flicker, no lost cards.

@mentions that find you

Get tagged and the right card gives a gentle wave — a soft toast, a quiet wiggle, the comment icon lighting up.

Everything in its place

One calm surface for the whole shape of work

Not a wall of features bolted together — a product that feels designed, end to end.

Realtime boards

Drag cards across columns and everyone sees it the same instant. Optimistic, reconciled, and impossible to drop.

AI that drafts & breaks down

Sketch a card from a sentence, then ask AI to break it into two to six real next-actions — only the card in front of you, on demand.

Focus mode

Overwhelmed by the pile? Enter focus and face one card at a time. A count that shrinks as you clear it — the calm inverse of a backlog.

Shared whiteboard

When a board isn't the right shape for the thought, open the whiteboard. Sticky notes, connections, and the same live cursors — sketch the plan, then turn it into cards.

Analytics that read at a glance

Throughput, cycle time, and a contribution heatmap — quiet charts that answer "are we moving?" without a spreadsheet.

Command palette

Press a key, go anywhere. Jump to a card, switch boards, or fire an action without lifting your hands from the keyboard.

The flame column

Mark what's hot. The flame column keeps the work that's actually on fire in view — a little playful, never loud.

Comments & @mentions

Talk where the work is. A live count on every card, mentions that reach the right person, and threads that stay with the task.

Export & handoff

Copy a board to clean Markdown, or download it as a folder — one tidy file per card, images included, ready to hand off.

Think out loud

A whiteboard that's just as alive as the board

Some ideas don't start as cards. Open the shared whiteboard, drop sticky notes, draw the connections — with the same realtime cursors so the whole team thinks together.

  • Sticky notes, arrows, and freeform layout
  • Live cursors and presence, same as the board
  • Turn a cluster of notes into cards when it's ready
Know you're moving

Analytics you can read in three seconds

No dashboards to configure. Throughput, cycle time, and a contribution heatmap, presented as quietly as everything else — enough to answer the only question that matters: are we moving?

  • Throughput and cycle-time trends
  • Per-person contribution heatmap
  • Org-scoped and private by default
For when it's too much

Focus mode: one card, then the next

A full backlog is a wall of tickets. Focus mode takes it away and puts a single card in front of you, on an opaque page. Ask AI to break it into steps, clear it, and watch the count shrink. One at a time gets you there.

  • One card at a time, everything else hidden
  • A count that shrinks as you clear the pile
  • AI breaks the current card into next-actions
Three minutes to your first board

Start moving, today

Create a board

Name it, add a few columns, invite your team. Org-scoped and private from the first card.

Drop in the work

Type a card, paste a list, or let AI draft it. Drag, tag, comment — it all lands instantly for everyone.

Watch it come alive

Teammates appear, cards glide, the flame column heats up. Work stops feeling like a list and starts feeling like motion.

"It's the first board where I can feel my team working without a single notification interrupting me. Calm, but never quiet about what matters."
Jordan ReyesHead of Product, a team that ships

Give your work a board that's alive.

Free to start, calm by design, and ready the moment your team arrives.
