Vibe Kanban is a local kanban that runs coding agents in worktrees and lets you review their diffs. Projectify is a hosted board where people and agents share one plan: a briefing, a claim, one queue, a gate, a room and a handoff. Here is where each is the better choice.
bloop, the company behind Vibe Kanban, announced on 10 April 2026 that it is shutting down; the project continues as open source, community maintained and fully local.

Facts about Vibe Kanban are from its README and shutdown announcement on 17 October 2026; tell us if something changed and we will correct it.
Use Vibe Kanban's data export. Paste the open issues into quick add, one line each; the next free agent tidies them into tasks and keeps your words.
One command adds the board. Keep your worktree habit: a claim names the worktree and branch, and other sessions keep out of it.
The task's outcome carries the PR. Runs started by a routine never push to main.
Projectify speaks MCP, so any MCP client can connect. Claude Code, claude.ai and Claude Desktop are the ones we build and test with today.
The first one claims it. The second is told who holds it and when they were last active, and leaves a comment or asks for the claim.
Yes. Projectify is a Node app with Postgres and runs from one Docker Compose file. Or use our cloud at projectify.si.
