kanban

A terminal‑based kanban system that operates entirely via the keyboard, offering a full‑screen UI inspired by lazygit and built on ratatui. It stores boards, columns, and cards in a local JSON or SQLite file, allowing offline use, atomic writes, and live conflict detection. Cards can include titles, descriptions, priorities, statuses, story points, due dates, and parent‑child dependencies, with configurable numbering prefixes and archiving.

The tool supports three view modes—flat list, column‑grouped, and traditional kanban board—switchable with a single key, and provides real‑time search, sorting, filtering, and multi‑select bulk actions. Sprint planning is built in, with lifecycle commands, card assignment, per‑sprint prefixes, and automatic carry‑over of unfinished items. Undo/redo up to 100 steps, external editor integration, and clipboard shortcuts for generating Git branch names or checkout commands are also available.

In addition to the interactive UI, a command‑line interface mirrors all operations with JSON output, making it scriptable. An MCP server exposes 40 tools for LLM integration, enabling external automation and assistance. Installation is possible via Cargo, Nix, or AUR packages.
