Kanbit is a board that watches the real work and advances the cards itself — no dragging, no cleanup, no “where are we?” The only thing it ever asks of you is one word: go.
Ordinary boards go stale the moment everyone looks away — then somebody spends Monday morning dragging cards around to make it honest again. Kanbit watches the work itself. Cards advance when real progress lands, come back when something needs another pass, and never need a cleanup meeting.
Write the idea on a card. Agree on what “done” looks like — including how you’ll know it works. That’s your whole job for a while.
The team gets to work. As real progress lands, the card slides forward on its own — nobody drags it, nobody asks “where are we?”
Every promise made in planning gets checked — automatically. A card can’t sneak past this lane by quietly dropping the hard part.
Fresh eyes on the work. A thumbs-up sends it forward; “one more pass” sends it back — politely, and with the reason attached.
Exactly one moment belongs to a human: the final go. Nothing irreversible happens until you say so — and everything before it never needed you at all.
It’s live. The card files itself away, the board stays spotless, and you’re already planning the next one.
Lanes aren’t hardcoded — they’re a state machine you shape. Dev frameworks ship first, but the same engine runs a purchase order, a new hire, or a campaign. Name your stages, set what moves a card between them, and the board takes it from there.
SPEC-DRIVEN — what you promise in planning gets checked before anything ships. one human word between done and live.
Everything that can be checked, gets checked — by the board, not by you. The one step you can’t take back always waits for a person. It’s the same idea whether the card is shipping a release, releasing a payment, or sending an offer.
No new rituals. No board babysitting. Just the parts of the work that actually need a person.
The board is the truth — not a hopeful sketch of it. “Where are we?” becomes a glance, not a calendar invite.
If work stalls or needs another pass, the card comes back on its own — and says why, out loud. No archaeology required.
Everything routine happens by itself. The one step you can’t take back always waits for a human— and it glows so you can’t miss it.
Tight two-person flow or a careful step-by-step approval chain — shape the board around the way you already work, not the other way around.
Kanbit is built so an agent is just another teammate on the board — it can pick up a card, draft the work, and move it down the lanes like anyone else. The rule never changes: it proposes, you still say the word. Same lanes, same checks, same one human go.
