Create & Track

Add tasks without leaving your terminal.

One Command to Start

Create tasks, stories, and bugs instantly. Add descriptions with Markdown, set priorities, and assign ownership in a single line. No modal dialogs, no waiting for page loads—just pure speed.

Need more detail? Open your default text editor directly from the command line to write full descriptions with all the context your team needs. Everything stays in your terminal, exactly where you work.

View & Filter

Find exactly what you need with powerful query filters.

Powerful Filtering

List all open issues, or filter down to specific criteria instantly. Kanbus supports filtering by status, priority, type, assignee, and more—giving you exactly the view you need, when you need it.

Output is formatted for readability in the terminal, but can also be piped to other tools as JSON for automation and scripting. Your workflow, your way.

Hierarchy

Organize work into Epics and break them down.

Parent-Child Relationships

Group related tasks under an Epic to track larger initiatives. Creating a child task automatically links it to the parent, maintaining clear relationships without manual bookkeeping.

When you view an epic, you see all its children and their status at a glance. When you view a child task, you see its parent context immediately. No hunting through disconnected lists.

Workflow

Move work forward with clear status transitions.

Start & Stop

Move an issue to In Progress and assign it to yourself in one move. No multi-step workflows, no clicking through menus—just instant status updates that keep your project moving forward.

Block & Close

Mark issues as blocked when you're stuck, or close them when done. Every status change is just a git commit away, keeping your project history clean and traceable.
