Tack board showing cards organized into four status columns, with board navigation on the left
One shared view of what’s waiting, what’s moving, and what’s done.

Enough structure to stay aligned

Small cards.
Shared context.

01

Start with a title

Capture quickly. Add autosaved notes, labels, and an assignee when they help.

02

Give each board its own space

Switch seamlessly, use readable keys such as ENG-42, and move cards without losing old links.

03

Bring your agents

User-owned keys, scoped HTTP access, and a local MCP adapter with retry and conflict handling.

04

Run it your way

Docker and PostgreSQL, local or configured organization sign-in, and documented backups.
