Kanban board

The Kanban board turns your session list into a drag-and-drop board. Each session is a card, each column is a workflow state, and moving a card between columns updates its status. It’s the same data as the session list — just laid out for visual planning.

When to Use the Board

Use the board when you want to:

• See work-in-progress at a glance across many sessions.
• Move sessions through a workflow (Backlog → In progress → Review → Done) by dragging.
• Plan and prioritise multiple tasks against a single project.
• Track subtask progress on tasks that fan out into child sessions.

Stick with the session list when you need dense filtering, search, or long history — the board is optimised for planning, not archival browsing.

Opening the Board

Switch to the board from the view toggle in the sidebar. The board shows one column per status by default, plus any custom columns you have added.

Columns

Columns map to statuses. You can:

• Reorder columns by dragging the header.
• Rename or recolor a column from the column header menu.
• Set the drop status — the status a card gets when dropped into the column. By default this matches the column name, but you can override it (for example, drop into a “Blocked” column that applies a needs-review status).
• Add per-project columns — when a project filter is active, columns you add are scoped to that project.

Column colors are set from the board header and are shared across all board views.

Cards

Each card represents a session. Cards show:

Element	Meaning
Title	Session title, truncated if long
Labels	All labels applied to the session
Subtask progress	Completed / total subtasks for task DAGs
Project accent	The color of the session’s project

Cards stay expanded — they don’t auto-close when you click elsewhere, so you can compare details across multiple cards side by side.

Run from tile

Click the run button on a card to start or resume that session directly from the board — no need to open it first. This is handy for kicking off multiple queued tasks in sequence.

Project Filter

Filter the board to a single project from the board header. When a filter is active:

• Only sessions bound to that project appear.
• New Task creates the task with that project already selected.
• New columns you add are scoped to the project.

Clear the filter to see all sessions across all projects.

Creating and Running Tasks

From the board, you can create a task and run it in one step — the session is created, bound to the current project (if filtered), and started immediately. The same flow works for subtasks: create a subtask on an existing task and it runs against the task’s DAG. See Tasks for how DAGs and subtasks work.

Tips

Match columns to your actual workflow

The default columns work well, but the board pays off most when the columns reflect how your team ships. Rename or add columns until dragging feels natural.

Use column colors sparingly

Bright colors highlight the columns that need attention (for example, “Blocked” or “Needs review”). Leave the rest neutral so the highlights stand out.

Filter by project for focused planning

Combine the project filter with a project accent color to plan one initiative at a time without noise from other work.
