A simple plugin to manage your personal projects with a Kanban Board.

  • Overview

  • Updates1

I wanted to have my own personal Kanban because Trello, Jira, Monday, and those kinds of tools are either expensive or overkill. I just wanted something simple for my personal projects without the need to go on the web, log in, deal with loading screens, or get a bunch of spam emails. This is just for simple stuff. If you need a straightforward, local, and fast Kanban board right inside your notes, this is for you.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Built with "Vibe Coding"

!!! Be ware: This plugin was made heavily relying on AI (Vibe Coding). Why? I have 7+ years of experience with web development, but right now I'm focusing my personal time on game dev projects. I was not gonna learn how to code an Obsidian plugin from the ground up just for a personal tool. I wanted something quick.

I don't know if it's 100% reliable yet, which is why I'm keeping it in an Alpha version. I plan to properly review the code and do a heavy refactor later when I have more time. However, this is not a project that AI gave me in a single prompt; I spent time debugging, fixing DOM event bubbling, adjusting CSS for a Trello-like feel, and giving strict architectural direction. Use it, enjoy it, but know it's a work in progress.

✨ Features

  • Multiple Boards Management: Create and manage several independent Kanban boards from a collapsible sidebar.
  • Trello-like UI/UX: Clean, minimalist design that feels native to Obsidian but modern.
  • Full Drag & Drop: Smooth DnD functionality to reorder cards within columns, move cards between columns, reorder columns, and even reorder your boards in the sidebar.
  • Smart Columns: Columns have quick-add inputs for tasks. Every board starts with a default "To do..." column.
  • Detailed Card Modal (70/30 Layout): Clicking a card opens a modal where you can edit the title, add tags, and write a full Markdown description (with Preview/Write tabs).
  • Cross-Board Transfers: Move a card from one board to a specific column in another board with a couple of clicks.
  • Keyboard Friendly: Press Enter to create cards, columns, and boards instantly without leaving the keyboard.
  • Native Obsidian Integration: Uses Obsidian's native icons, variables, and modals so it adapts perfectly to your light/dark themes.
