Drop a card. Your agent does the work. You review and approve when it's done.
You open a terminal, type a prompt, and watch. The work lives in chat windows that close at the end of the day. No shared backlog, no record of what shipped, no way to check in from anywhere but the chair you're sitting in.
Your tasks live in chat windows, sticky notes, and tabs you forgot to close. There's no view of what's in flight, what's done, or what comes next.
You pay for an AI subscription around the clock, but it only works when you do. Every meeting, every break, every hour of sleep is paid time the agent isn't shipping code.
Every prompt starts fresh. What you asked, why, what the agent decided. All of it lives in scrollback until the window closes.
Move the agent out of your terminal and onto a board. The work gets a place to live, runs while you're away, and leaves a trail anyone can follow.
Drop cards in To Do, watch them flow through In Progress to In Review. Your roadmap is a place you can look at, not a feeling you have.
Your CLI claims cards on your machine the moment you queue them. Walk away, go to bed, come back to a PR. Your AI subscription is finally earning its keep.
Brief, conversation, agent activity, and the branch it produced, all attached to the card. Find what you asked six weeks ago in two clicks.
You stay in the board. Your agent does the typing. The work shows up as commits in your repo, ready to review.
Open the board, type what you need built, drop it into To Do. Pick the agent for the job, or let the board default decide.
Kabana hands the card to the agent running on your machine. It knows your project from the brief and works on a fresh branch, never on your main code.
You see what the agent is doing as it happens. When the work is done, the card moves to In Review and you decide what to merge.
Most AI coding tools want to take over: host your repo, proxy your model calls, mark up the bill. Kabana plans the work and shows the activity. Everything that touches your code happens on your machine, on the subscription you already pay for. You ship faster without handing the keys to anyone.
The agent edits and commits in your local repo. We never see your source. Only the cards, comments, and the activity you choose to share.
Use the AI subscription you already pay for. Kabana doesn't proxy model calls and doesn't charge per token. Agent costs go to your AI provider, not to us.
Every task gets its own branch off your base. Your main code stays untouched until you decide to merge.
See every file the agent reads, every command it runs, every commit it makes. Straight from your machine to the board, as it happens.
Heavy refactor? Quick fix? Choose the agent that fits the job per card, or set a default for the whole board.
If the agent gets stuck or you want changes, leave a comment. The next run picks up the same branch with the full thread as context.
Borrowed credibility beats self-promotion. The slots below get filled with real quotes from beta users as they land. Want yours here? Sign up and start shipping.
Add a real beta-user quote here. One to three sentences works best.
Pull out the line that captures the moment they realised it was working. Specific is better than generic.
Keep one quote about the agent running while they sleep, one about reviewing later, one about parallelism.

I have my own business, I'm married and we have a 6 year old little girl.
My mornings are spent with my daughter, my afternoons working on my business, at night as an indie hacker.
I don't sleep too much, and I think it's affecting my memory. I also don't have much free time to work in my apps, my Claude tokens almost never hit its limits.
Building apps is what I do every day after my 9 to 5. It's not my full time job yet, but it's what I'm working toward. The hardest part isn't the code. It's the hours.
Side-project time is whatever's left after the day job, after dinner, after my daughter's asleep. By then I'm tired and the AI agent in my terminal is asking me clarifying questions instead of shipping.
I'm building kabana because I need it. I want to drop a card before I close my laptop and wake up to a PR. I want my Claude subscription doing something while I'm asleep. I want a backlog I can look at on my phone instead of a thread of prompts in a terminal that closed yesterday.
If you're shipping after 9 to 5 too, I'd love for you to try it.
Bring your own AI subscription. Kabana never proxies model calls, so you only pay for the kanban itself.
Cancel anytime.
Here's what's already on the roadmap.
Run cards in parallel across separate worktrees so two agents can ship two PRs at the same time, with no risk of stepping on each other's branches.
Higher tiers for founders, agencies, freelancers, and teams juggling multiple products or client repos from one workspace.
Approved cards wait for GitHub Checks to pass, then merge themselves. Pairs with a kabana bot identity for repos that require approving reviews.
An AI reviewer reads each card's diff the moment it lands in In Review, posts a verdict, and drafts the redo prompt if it spots an issue.
Multiple people on one Kabana account, with audit history of who approved what and which agent shipped it.
Have a use case we haven't shipped yet? Drop a note in the changelog and it shapes what comes next.
No. Your code stays on your laptop. The kabana CLI runs locally and edits your repo. The server only ever sees the cards you create, the comments you leave, and the activity stream the agent emits. No source files, no diffs.
Claude Code today. Codex CLI and Cursor CLI are next. The kabana CLI auto-detects what you have installed on your machine and uses it to claim cards.
Yes. Kabana doesn't proxy model calls and doesn't bill per token. Your agent runs on the subscription you already pay for (Claude Max, ChatGPT Plus, Cursor, etc.). Kabana's price covers the kanban only.
$3 per month, billed monthly. That includes 3 boards and 1 concurrent agent. There's no free tier and no per-seat pricing today.
No. Kabana ships three workflow modes: PR (opens a GitHub pull request when the agent finishes), direct (commits straight to the base branch), and nogit (skips git entirely). Pick per folder, change it later.
Yes. Cancel from the Stripe billing portal in /settings. Your subscription stays active through the end of the period you already paid for, then ends. No auto-renew tricks.
Sign up, install the CLI, drop a card. From zero to your first agent commit in under five minutes.
