About the Kanban board maker

A snapshot, not a tracker

This draws a picture of a board. It is ideal for sharing status in a document or a slide; keep using your tracker for the work itself.

Card details

Add metadata to a card such as t3[Fix login bug]@{ assigned: "Sam", priority: "High" } to show who owns it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it sync with Jira or Trello?
No. It draws a board from text; nothing is connected.
How do I add a column?
Add a line without indentation, such as review[In review], then indent its cards below.
Is my diagram uploaded?
No. It is drawn in your browser.
