A lightweight, local kanban board built into VS Code. No account, no sync, nothing leaving your project. The board lives alongside your code and can be versioned like any other file.
Why
SaaS kanban tools (Trello, Jira, etc.) require login, internet access and a context switch outside the editor. Kanban Dev opens as a regular tab inside VS Code and stores everything in .kanbn/board.json at the root of your workspace. You can version it with Git alongside your project, or ignore it, your choice.
Features
Per project board: each workspace has its own .kanbn/board.json, isolated from the others.
Custom columns: create, rename, delete and reorder columns via drag and drop (defaults: To Do / In Progress / Done).
Drag and drop tasks: move tasks between columns by dragging the card.
Nested checklists: subtasks inside each task, with progress count (e.g. 3/5).
Comments per task: timestamped notes history.
Mark as complete: quick completion toggle without moving the task to another column.
Fully local: no data ever leaves your machine; no internet or account required.
How to install
From the Marketplace
Open the Extensions tab in VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+X).
