Kandev is an AI Kanban and development environment for orchestrating multiple coding agents, reviewing their changes, and opening pull requests. It is self-hostable and has no telemetry.
Features:
- Multi-agent support — Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Amp, OpenCode, Cursor, Devin, Qwen, Kilocode, Pi, Kimi, AWS Kiro, Qoder, Trae, Grok, Antigravity, and more.
- Parallel task execution — start and manage multiple tasks from different sources simultaneously.
- Integrated workspace — built-in terminal, code editor with LSP, git changes panel, embedded VS Code, and chat in one IDE-like view.
- Kanban task management — drag-and-drop boards, columns, and workflow automation.
- Agentic workflows — multi-step pipelines that mix and match agents per step, for example one agent to design a plan, another to implement it, and a third to review the changes.
- Automations — trigger agent tasks on schedules or webhooks, with configurable run destinations, context, and concurrency.
- Sub-tasks — agents can spawn sub-tasks that resume from the parent task's session.
- CLI passthrough — drop into raw agent CLI mode and leverage the full native TUI.
- Workspace isolation — Git worktrees prevent concurrent agents from conflicting.
- Multi-repository tasks — span a single task across multiple repositories with per-repository worktrees, branches, and pull requests.
