The kanban board for CS students
Coursework, projects, internship hunting — all deadlines, no manager. Kanboard is a fast board that keeps the semester visible, and it teaches you the agent-driven workflow the industry is moving to.
Sound familiar?
Every course is its own chaos
Assignments in five portals, group projects in group chats, deadlines in your head. Nothing shows this week at a glance.
Group projects have no owner
Who's doing the write-up? Who broke the build? Without a board, 'someone' does everything and no one did anything.
Tools are either toys or enterprise
Sticky-note apps don't scale to a capstone; Jira is a part-time job to configure. Nothing fits a student budget and a student week.
How Kanboard fits
Simple pricing
One plan at $12/month with the full board, all shortcuts, and unlimited projects and tasks.
Keyboard shortcuts
N for a new task between lectures, X when it's submitted. Faster than opening the syllabus.
MCP server
Learn the workflow employers are adopting: plan on a board, dispatch an AI agent, review what it built.
Simple columns
This Week / Doing / Done is enough. No configuration project before the actual project.
A week on the board
- 1
Sunday: put every deadline for the week on the board as a task.
- 2
Order the This Week column by due date and weight — the top card is always what to work on next.
- 3
For coding assignments, practice the agent workflow: spec the task well, let Claude Code attempt it, then review and understand every line.
- 4
Friday: clear Done and enjoy the visible proof the week happened.
FAQ
How much does Kanboard cost for students?+
Kanboard is $12/month with everything included: the full kanban board, keyboard shortcuts, the command palette, AI-agent access over MCP, and unlimited projects.
Can I use it for group projects?+
Boards are per-account today, so groups usually run the board on one member's account, or use it to make individual ownership visible in screenshots and standups.
Will using AI agents hurt my learning?+
Used well, it's the opposite: writing a precise task is understanding the problem, and reviewing an agent's code is how professionals now work. Just check your course's academic-integrity policy first.
Is there a mobile or desktop app?+
There's a native macOS desktop app, and the web app works everywhere else.
A board for you, an API for your agents
One flat price for you and every agent you connect.
