Your local kanban board for coding agents, from backlog to delivery.

The columns do the work. Drag a card into Development and an agent starts. Drag it into Approved and the merge queue runs. Agents work in parallel, each on its own branch.

BUILT FOR PARALLEL WORK

Run agents side by side

Start several cards at once. The board shows which agents are working, waiting, or ready for your review.

Isolated by default

Every card gets its own session, worktree, and branch. Agents can change the same repo without stepping on each other.

Review without switching tools

Read the diff, comment on individual lines, and send all your feedback back to the agent in one go.

Merge on your terms

You choose the order of the merge queue. If something fails, Kanzai stops and shows exactly what made it in.

Work across repos

Connect all the repos a project needs. One card can span several of them while Kanzai keeps the branches together.

Pick up where you left off

On macOS and Linux, sessions keep running in tmux even when Kanzai is closed. Reopen the app and carry on with the same prompts, questions, and plugins.

Turn tickets into clear tasks

Connect Jira or Linear through MCP. The project assistant reads the ticket and your repos, then creates focused cards that point to the relevant code.

Set what a column does

Add the columns your team already uses. Set what each column does when a card moves in: open a pull request, request a review, deploy to test, run a command, or prompt an agent.

REVIEW

Review the code, not a transcript.

PROJECT ASSISTANT

Give Kanzai a ticket. Get back focused tasks.

The project assistant turns a ticket or a short request into focused cards based on your actual code. Ask why work has not landed and it checks the board for you. It can read your repos, but it only changes the board when you ask. You approve each action unless you switch on auto mode.

⎿ backend unmerged · base main · queue stopped 2h ago

The queue stopped at this card. backend/main has advanced by 4 commits since you signed off, so the branch no longer merges cleanly. Rebase it from the card, and the Approved queue resumes where it stopped.

⚠ Allow set_action? Kanzai · asked every time

Add Deploy to test, a merge onto test, on cards in Development, Review and Approved.

This adds the action to the project without running it. The button appears on those cards when the board refreshes.

ACTIONS

Run the usual jobs with one click.

Add buttons for the jobs you run all the time. Merge a branch, run a command in the card's worktree, or give an agent a one-off prompt. Choose which cards show each button, or put it at the top of the board for project-wide actions.

Assistant

Deploy to test merge → test Edit

Merges the card's branch into test without approving the card, changing its base branch, or moving it.

Where the button appears

Project Backlog Ready Development Review On test Approved Done

Column toggles follow the same order as the board, including your custom columns. The Project toggle adds a button to the board that runs independently of any card.

Dev server command npm run dev Edit

Runs in the card's worktree, in a window of its own, with a port no other card holds.

Review prompt Claude Code · read the diff and comment Edit

One headless turn in the worktree. It can leave review comments on the card, unsent, beside the ones you wrote.

One action, both places. On a card, it deploys that card's branch; on the board, it deploys the branch configured for the project. The two runs are independent.

COLUMNS

Make the board match your workflow.

Add columns such as On test or In PR without losing the branch, worktrees, diff, or actions attached to a card. A column can also do something when work arrives. Drag a card to On test, for example, and start a deployment automatically.

HOW IT WORKS

Add your local repos

Connect one or more checkouts. Kanzai finds the branches and gives every task an isolated place to work.

Turn work into cards

Write a card yourself, or give the project assistant a ticket and let it break the work into focused tasks.

Run, review, and merge

Start several cards in parallel. Finished work waits in Review and only merges after you approve it.
