This tool is a unified web dashboard for managing multiple terminal sessions and monitoring the status of AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. It provides a visual Kanban board to track project tasks, agent progress, and conversation histories in one place.
Security Assessment
The tool manages local terminals and monitors AI processes, which inherently requires access to your local system shell and file paths. The automated scan flagged two areas of concern: a recursive force deletion command (`rm -rf`) inside a GitHub Actions workflow, and shell command execution capabilities within a Python build script. Neither of these presents a direct threat to your daily runtime environment, as they are strictly used for automating the project's packaging and deployment. No dangerous permissions or hardcoded secrets were detected in the application itself.
Because the application is designed to interface directly with your terminal and local development environment, it naturally handles sensitive data such as system file paths, shell histories, and active AI prompts. However, it operates entirely as a local tool with a local database, minimizing external network privacy risks. Overall runtime risk is rated as Low.
Quality Assessment
The project is actively maintained, with its most recent code push occurring today. It utilizes standard development languages (Go, Vue, TypeScript) and is protected under the permissive Apache-2.0 open-source license. Community trust is moderate and growing, indicated by 185 GitHub stars, which reflects a healthy level of adoption and peer interest for a niche developer utility.
Verdict
Safe to use. The required shell executions are safely isolated within build and CI pipelines, making this a well-maintained, highly useful tool for local AI-assisted development workflows.

Development Guide
Requirements
- Node.js: v20.19.0+ or v22.12.0+
- Go: 1.24.6+
- Package Manager: pnpm (recommended)
Install Dependencies
Frontend Dependencies:
cd ui
pnpm install
Backend Dependencies:
go mod tidy
Development Mode
Frontend Development Server:
cd ui
pnpm dev
Access at: http://localhost:5173
Backend Development Server:
go run . # Note: After first run, config.yaml will be generated with port 3007. Due to conflicts with the production version, they cannot run simultaneously. It's recommended to change to 3005. The following assumes it has been changed.
- Server Port:
http://localhost:3005 - OpenAPI Documentation:
http://localhost:3005/docs - Health Check:
http://localhost:3005/api/v1/health
Optional Parameters:
-mor--migrate: Force database migration-ior--install: Install as system service--uninstall: Uninstall system service
Production Build
Full Build (Recommended):
python build.py
This script will automatically complete the following steps:
- Build frontend (
pnpm build) - Copy frontend artifacts to
static/directory - Build Go executable (with optimization)
Manual Build:
# Build frontend
cd ui && pnpm build
# Build backend
go build -ldflags="-s -w" -trimpath -o CodeKanban
Build Artifacts:
- Frontend:
ui/dist/→static/(After moving to this directory, building the backend will automatically store it in the executable, achieving single-file launch) - Backend:
CodeKanban.exe(Windows) orCodeKanban(Linux/macOS)
Access Application
Development Environment:
- Frontend Dev Server:
http://localhost:5173 - Backend API:
http://localhost:3005
Production Environment:
Run the built executable and access http://localhost:3007
About
We are in an era that is both rapidly changing and extremely divided, and our work is the same.
This tool has genuinely improved my efficiency, but perhaps the improvement in efficiency will also reduce work demand, and the development of AI will eliminate this industry.
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys using it.
If it helps you, you can give it a star or sponsor me a little.
Possible Future Features
- Mobile support
- Code cleanup: For example, the frontend's src/api should all be auto-generated
- Completion reminder feature, such as playing a sound after AI is done to tell you it's finished.
- Idle terminal list / Terminal list awaiting interaction.
