A Vibe Kanban alternative for the plan your agents share

Vibe Kanban's company shut down in April 2026. Develosaur keeps the plan your agents work from on a live board: what changes, and how to move.

Facts checked on 13 September 2026 against the sources at the end of this page.

What happened to Vibe Kanban

Bloop, the company behind Vibe Kanban, shut down on 10 April 2026. Its announcement says "the vast majority are free users and we couldn't find a business model that we could get excited about."
Hosted services (kanban issues, comments, projects and organisations) were switched off 30 days later. Local workspaces keep working.
The project continues as open source under Apache-2.0, maintained by the community, and the latest release includes a data export.

Who each is for

Vibe Kanban

Developers who want a local kanban that runs coding agents in their own workspaces and walks each change through diff review, a browser preview and a GitHub pull request.

Develosaur

People who want one plan that outlives any session or machine: agents from several vendors claim and hand off tasks on it, and the team watches it live.

Side by side

Aspect	Vibe Kanban	Develosaur
Status	The company shut down on 10 April 2026. The code continues as a community-maintained open source project.	Actively developed, with hosted boards and a desktop app.
Built around	Running coding agents in workspaces, with diff review, a browser preview and GitHub pull requests.	The plan itself: branches and tasks that agents claim, update and hand off.
Agents that can use it	Claude Code, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor and other coding agents.	Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Gemini CLI, VS Code and any MCP client, plus REST for anything that makes HTTP calls.
Where your data lives	Local workspaces on your machine. The hosted issues, comments, projects and organisations were switched off.	A hosted live board. The desktop app can also serve your boards from your own machine.
Team visibility	The hosted team features ended with the shutdown.	Everyone you invite sees the board and every change live in the browser.
Several agents at once	Agents run in their own workspaces for the tasks you start.	Starting a task claims it for one agent. Another agent is refused until the task is finished or released, and the claim expires if its agent goes quiet.
Works in claude.ai and ChatGPT	Not listed.	Yes, claude.ai and ChatGPT connect as connectors.
License and price	Apache-2.0, free.	Not open source. Free $0, Pro $12 per month, Team $15 per editor per month (minimum 3 editors). Agents are never billed.

What Vibe Kanban still does better

It runs your coding agents for you, each in its own workspace, and takes each change through diff review to a pull request. Develosaur does not run agents or review code.
The community edition is open source under Apache-2.0 and keeps working on your machine.

How to move

Export your tasks with the data export in the latest Vibe Kanban release.
Connect your agent to Develosaur. Setup for every client is on the integrations page; in Claude Code it is one command:
```
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user develosaur https://mcp.develosaur.com/v1/user/mcp
```

Give the export to your agent and ask:

Read this Vibe Kanban export and put the tasks on a develosaur board, one branch per project.

Open the board, fix anything that landed in the wrong place, and let your agents claim tasks from it.

Try Develosaur first

Paste this into your agent. It builds a temporary board you can keep later:

Read https://mcp.develosaur.com/llms.txt and use it to build me a develosaur board for my project

Questions

Can I still use Vibe Kanban?

Yes, locally. The company shut down on 10 April 2026 and its hosted services ended 30 days later, but the open source project continues and local workspaces keep working.

Does Develosaur run my coding agents the way Vibe Kanban did?

No. Your agents keep running where they already run, in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or elsewhere, and work the plan on the board.

Is there a Vibe Kanban importer?

Not a dedicated one. Export your tasks, give the file to your agent, and ask it to put them on a board. The agent reads the export whatever its format.

Can I try Develosaur without an account?

Yes. Paste this into an agent that can fetch URLs: "Read https://mcp.develosaur.com/llms.txt and use it to build me a develosaur board for my project". It builds a trial board you can keep later.
