Embed your project management directly in your repository.
Stop wrestling with external issue trackers. Keep tasks, context, and a clear paper trail right alongside your code so human developers and AI agents can collaborate seamlessly.

Tracking project context usually means coordinating an external system. But it's better to eliminate a problem than to solve it. With Kanbus, every task is a file in your repo. Your workflow inherits the exact same version control as your code—creating a clear, timestamped paper trail without a jarring context switch.

Features
Focused capabilities that make Kanbus practical for daily work.
Agent-Ready CLI→
A fast, scriptable CLI tool that lets your coding agents read requirements, update statuses, and track issues natively.
Kanban Board→
Visualize your workflow in a modern, reactive interface. Drag and drop issues, filter by status, and see the big picture.
Git-Native Storage→
Your issues are plain JSON files in your repo. No database, no proprietary index--just transparent files you can read, diff, and version like any other code.
Realtime Collaboration→
Instant updates across agents and humans. Lightweight pub/sub messaging keeps everyone in sync without waiting for a pull.
Jira Sync→
Pull Jira issues into your repository so agents always have the full context.
Local Tasks→
Keep private tasks off git and promote them when they are ready to share.
Virtual Projects→
Aggregate issues from multiple repositories into a single view.
Beads Mode→
Seamless compatibility with existing Beads projects. Zero config required.
VS Code Plugin→
Manage your project without leaving your code. Full Kanban board integration.
Integrated Wiki→
