A TUI kanban board for orchestrating AI coding agents.

---

Why?

AI coding agents are powerful, but managing multiple agents across projects gets messy fast. You end up with terminals everywhere, losing track of what's running where, and context-switching between tasks becomes a chore.

OpenKanban gives you a single view of all your work. Each ticket gets its own git worktree and embedded terminal. Spawn an agent, watch it work, jump between tasks. Everything stays organized.

Features

• Tickets as worktrees - Each task gets an isolated git branch
• Embedded terminals - Agents run inside the TUI, not in random terminal tabs
• Any agent - OpenCode, Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, Aider, or whatever CLI tool you prefer
• Multi-project - Manage tickets across all your repositories from one board
