Built for the way
modern teams work

No bloat, no enterprise pricing walls. Every feature is available from day one.

Real-time Collaboration

WebSocket-powered live updates. See your teammates move cards, add comments, and tick off checklist items the instant it happens — no refresh required.

🏄

Drag & Drop Everywhere

Reorder cards within columns, move cards between columns, and rearrange columns across the board. Powered by dnd-kit for buttery smooth interactions.

🤖

Automation Rules

Define trigger-action rules that fire automatically. Move cards when due dates pass, assign members on column change, or post comments — zero code.

Checklists & Due Dates

Break any card into tracked sub-tasks with checklists. Set due dates and let automated reminders surface what needs attention before it slips.

🔑

Full REST API & API Keys

Every action in the UI is available via API. Issue personal API keys, integrate with your CI/CD, Slack, or any third-party system you run.

📊

Activity Log & Metrics

Full audit trail on every board and card. Prometheus metrics endpoint for monitoring — plug straight into Grafana and start observing.
