What we know about vibe-kanban
Vibe Kanban is an orchestrator, not an agent: each kanban issue gets its own branch, terminal and dev server, and the board drives 10 named coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and OpenCode.
“- **Run coding agents in workspaces** — each workspace gives an agent a branch, a terminal, and a dev server · - **Review diffs and leave inline comments** — send feedback directly to the agent without leaving the UI”
Compare what two agents did to the same issue and comment on the diff without leaving the board.
“- **Review diffs and leave inline comments** — send feedback directly to the agent without leaving the UI”
Keep using it offline after the shutdown: local workspaces still run, and the last version added a data export.
“The latest version of Vibe Kanban includes a data export feature. Remote services will remain available for 30 days, after which Vibe Kanban will transition to a fully local architecture.”
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.”
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.”
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).”
What vibe-kanban costs
Paid subscriptions were cancelled and refunded when bloop shut down on 2026-04-10; the local product now costs nothing.
“Refunds have been issued for any invoices paid in the last 30 days, and subscriptions terminated.”
What this page does not answer
We have researched vibe-kanban and we have not researched Boomerang Tasks. That means the judgments above answer for one tool and not for the other, and we publish no price for Boomerang Tasks because we have not read its pricing page. Nothing on this page about Boomerang Tasks is our opinion; there is not enough evidence yet for one.
Questions people ask
- Are Boomerang Tasks and vibe-kanban still maintained?
- Boomerang Tasks has no repository we track. Vibe Kanban is sunsetting: its own README says so, bloop shut down on 2026-04-10, remote services ended 30 days later, and the repository has taken no commit for 117 days. Both readings come from the default branch of each repository, on the date shown beside them.
- What does vibe-kanban cost?
- Boomerang Tasks: we have not read its pricing page, so we publish no price for it. vibe-kanban: Paid subscriptions were cancelled and refunded when bloop shut down on 2026-04-10; the local product now costs nothing. Every figure here is quoted from the vendor's own page and linked beside the claim.
- Is Boomerang Tasks or vibe-kanban open source?
- We have not read a licence for Boomerang Tasks. vibe-kanban's repository BloopAI/vibe-kanban reports the Apache-2.0 licence. We read the licence GitHub reports for the repository, which is not the same question as whether the hosted product is free.
How we check this page
- Machine facts. Stars, contributors, the newest commit on the default branch, the licence GitHub reports and the latest stable release come from the GitHub API, and download counts from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each value carries the day it was last confirmed, never the day this page was built. The line under each label is arithmetic on those two values.
- Judgments. Every claim about what a tool suits, what it is bad at and what it costs is quoted from a page we read, and that page is linked beside the claim. Where there is no link, we wrote no claim.
- Index status. vibe-kanban carries claims we read, quoted and linked; Boomerang Tasks does not. So this page is offered to search engines.
