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
