Vibe Kanban review

Vibe Kanban is a kanban board that runs coding agents in isolated workspaces, each with its own branch. It is installed with npx and licensed Apache-2.0. We read the vendor's site and GitHub pages in October 2026. We did not run an independent test.

Who it is for

Developers who want a task board over several agent CLIs with per-task branches, and who accept a project whose vendor has stopped running it.

What stands out

Each workspace gets its own branch, a terminal and a dev server. The site says the tool automates creating git worktrees and running setup scripts. You review diffs, leave inline comments for the agent and open pull requests from the app.

The README lists ten supported agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Amp, Cursor and OpenCode. The docs index also lists a Vibe Kanban MCP server page, a Remote Access page and a Docker Compose self-hosting guide.

The repository showed 28,491 stars on 29 October 2026 and is not archived. It had commits as recently as 28 October.

Price and licence

The pricing page still lists Free at $0, Pro at $30 per user per month and Enterprise as custom (seen 29 October 2026). A shutdown post dated 10 April 2026 says subscriptions were terminated. The code is under the unmodified Apache License 2.0.
