Quick answer

Of the 9 alternatives here, 1 have been researched claim by claim. Start with Claude Task Master.

Choose Claude Task Master when: Split a written PRD into ordered tasks before any agent writes code, with `task-master parse-prd your-prd.txt`. [github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master]

It costs: Task Master charges nothing for itself; every AI command needs your own provider key, or a Claude Code or Codex CLI login. [github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master]

How this list is ordered. Tools whose claims we have read and quoted come first, then tools whose repository we track, then catalogue entries we have not researched. Within each band the order is category and workflow overlap. A tool that has stopped is never the first answer. We publish no score out of five: every claim here traces to a source, and a number we could not justify would undermine the ones that can.

Why people leave vibe-kanban

The first reason is the state of the project itself: README banner: "Vibe Kanban is sunsetting.".

The company behind it is gone: bloop announced its shutdown on 2026-04-10 because it could not find a business model.

“Today we're shutting down bloop, the company behind Vibe Kanban.”

vibekanban.com/blog/shutdown

The team half of the product was switched off 30 days after 2026-04-10: kanban issues, comments, projects and organisations were removed.

“Remote services that will be removed include: kanban issues, comments, projects and organisations.”

vibekanban.com/blog/shutdown

No maintainer is merging: the promised community roadmap was due within weeks of 2026-04-10 and the repository has taken no commit for 117 days.

“We're not out of ideas and believe there is a non-commercial future for the project. We'll release a roadmap for the community maintained edition over the next few weeks.”

A team that needs a supported board for agent work should not adopt Vibe Kanban; within this set only Warp offers a maintained surface for running several agents.

“[Warp](https://www.warp.dev) is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. Use Warp's built-in coding agent, or bring your own CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others).”

Claude Task Master

Slowinggithub.com

What it is: Task Master is not a coding agent: it is an MCP server that turns a written requirements document into a dependency-ordered task list and exposes 36 tools that your existing agent calls. [github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master]

Choose Claude Task Master when: Split a written PRD into ordered tasks before any agent writes code, with `task-master parse-prd your-prd.txt`. [github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master]

Where it hurts: The licence is not open source: MIT with Commons Clause bars selling Task Master, hosting it as a service, or building a competing product on it. [github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master]

Price: Task Master charges nothing for itself; every AI command needs your own provider key, or a Claude Code or Codex CLI login. [github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master]

Task Master is slowing: no commit since 2026-04-28, 112 days, and no release since `task-master-ai@0.43.1` on 2026-03-31.
