What vibe-kanban is

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”

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.”

Use vibe-kanban when

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.”

Not the right fit for

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 is bad at

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.”

How we check this page

Machine facts. Stars, licence, the newest commit on the default branch, the latest stable release and download counts are read straight from the GitHub API and from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each one shows the day it was last confirmed, not the day this page was built. A failed fetch keeps the old value and its old date rather than overwriting it.
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. If there is no link, we did not write the claim.
What we do not publish. No score out of five and no star rating. Every other claim here traces to a source, and a number we could not justify would undermine the ones that can.
This tool. Every claim carries the URL it came from and a verbatim quote from that URL, read on 2026-08-19.
