The kanban board for solo developers
You don't need sprints, story points, or a scrum master — you need a fast place to line up work and an AI agent that can pick it up. Kanboard is a keyboard-first board built for one developer moving quickly.
Sound familiar?
Team tools slow you down
Jira and Linear are built for coordination overhead you don't have. Every ceremony they impose is time you're not shipping.
Plans scattered everywhere
TODOs in code comments, half a plan in a notes app, the rest in your head. Nothing agrees on what's actually next.
Your agent can't see your plan
Claude Code is ready to work, but you re-explain the plan in every session because it lives nowhere the agent can read.
How Kanboard fits
Keyboard-first board
N to capture a task, J/K to move around, X to finish — planning stops interrupting building.
MCP server
Connect Claude Code in one command. It reads your board, picks the top task, and moves it to Done as it ships.
Command palette (⌘K)
Jump to any task or action without touching the mouse — flow state survives planning.
One flat price
Pro is $12/month with everything included: unlimited projects and tasks, MCP, and the REST API.
A week on the board
- 1
Brain-dump the week into the backlog with N — one task per shippable chunk.
- 2
Order the To Do column so the top task is always the next most important thing.
- 3
Point Claude Code at the board over MCP and tell it to pick up the top task while you work the second one.
- 4
End the day by scanning Done — visible progress, no status report to write.
FAQ
How much does Kanboard cost for solo developers?+
Pro is $12/month flat and includes everything: the full kanban board, keyboard shortcuts, the command palette, the MCP server, REST API, and unlimited projects and tasks.
Do I need AI agents to get value from Kanboard?+
No — it's a fast keyboard-first kanban board on its own. The MCP server is there when you're ready to hand tasks to Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.
How is this different from a TODO list?+
Columns show work in flight, not just work remaining — and unlike a text file, your AI agents can read and update the board over MCP.
Can I use Kanboard offline on my Mac?+
There's a native macOS desktop app with automatic updates, so the board lives in its own window instead of a browser tab. It needs a connection to sync.
A board for you, an API for your agents
One flat price for you and every agent you connect.
