Claude Code Kanban

The Kanban board your
Claude Code sessions were missing.

Five columns. Drag-and-drop. Every task shows its model, priority, and live status. It's what a sprint looks like when your agents are the ones doing the work.

Quick answer

DevboardAI gives Claude Code a Kanban board — drag tasks into In Progress, and the Orchestrator runs them autonomously on your Mac. Five columns, drag-and-drop cards, parallel agent execution, and built-in QA retry. One-time purchase, $74 lifetime.

Demo

Drag a Task. Watch Claude Run It.

The Kanban board isn't decoration. Moving a card is how you tell the orchestrator what to run next. Agent assignment, priority, validation criteria — all live on the card.

Why Kanban fits agent work

Chat interfaces are fine when you have one thing to do. Once you have eight Claude Code sessions in flight, you're not having a conversation anymore — you're running a small team. Teams need a board.

Kanban is the format we already trust for parallel work. It gives you WIP limits, status at a glance, and a place for things to live between “started” and “merged.” Everything an orchestrator needs to show you, Kanban already knows how to display.

Claude Code's new desktop app puts parallel sessions in a sidebar. That works until it doesn't. A board scales to the number of tasks you actually have in a sprint, not the number that fit in a sidebar.

The five columns

Backlog. Everything the sprint generator produced, plus anything you drag in. Priorities and story points visible at a glance.

In Progress. Tasks currently running. Live model, live status, live terminal output one click away.

QA. The orchestrator ran the task and checked the validation criteria. If something failed, it lands here with the error attached.

Done. Completed work in your actual repo. Review the changes when you get back.

Failed. Retries exhausted. The full run history is preserved — you decide what to do next.

A session sidebar asks “what are you working on right now?”. A Kanban board answers “what's the state of the whole sprint?”.

What's on each card

Task description + validation criteria — the agent reads both. It knows when it's done because you told it what done means.

Model assignment — Haiku, Sonnet, Opus, or Value Mode (auto-route by complexity). Codex and Kimi too.

Priority + story points — the orchestrator uses these to pick run order.

Run history — every attempt, every error, every retry, with full terminal output preserved.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Kanban board for Claude Code?

A Kanban board for Claude Code is a visual task board with columns — Backlog, In Progress, QA, Done, and Failed — that tracks every Claude Code agent task in a sprint. DevboardAI provides this board natively on Mac, so you can see the state of every running session without juggling terminal windows.

How does DevboardAI add a Kanban board to Claude Code?

DevboardAI is a native Mac app that wraps Claude Code (and other CLI agents) in a full project management UI. You describe your sprint in plain English, the AI sprint generator breaks it into tasks, and those tasks populate the Kanban board — ready to drag, assign, and run.

Can I run Claude Code tasks from a Kanban board?

Yes. Dragging a card to In Progress tells the DevboardAI Orchestrator to launch Claude Code on that task. The orchestrator runs the full sprint autonomously, in dependency order, and moves cards through QA and Done as work completes — you watch the board, not the terminal.

How much does DevboardAI cost?

DevboardAI costs $74 once — a lifetime license with no subscription. There is a 7-day money-back guarantee. At that price it pays back versus a Cursor Pro subscription (~$20/month) in under four months.

Does it run Claude Code locally on Mac?

Yes. DevboardAI runs on macOS only — Apple Silicon (M1 through M4) and Intel Macs. Claude Code agents execute locally on your machine; your project files never leave your computer. An internet connection is only required because the AI models call their own APIs.

Can it run multiple Claude Code tasks in parallel?

Yes. The DevboardAI Orchestrator can run multiple Claude Code sessions simultaneously, respecting the dependency order you set on your cards. Each parallel task has its own Kanban column status, live terminal output, and run history — all visible on the same board.
