Kandev is a local-first AI execution platform for software development work. It pairs a kanban-style task surface with live agent orchestration, file/workspace access, and real-time streaming of changes.

Start locally

npx kandev

The launcher downloads the latest release bundle, starts the backend + web app, and opens your browser.

What you get

Task-centric execution: turn tasks into runnable sessions with streaming updates.
Workspace control: shell, file, and git access scoped to each task.
Agent orchestration: run different agent types and resume sessions.
Change visibility: review diffs and track state per task/session.
Live UI: WebSocket-driven updates across tasks, messages, and outputs.

Requirements

Node.js (for npx)
Git (for repository access)
Docker (optional; only needed for containerized agents)

Platforms

macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)
Linux (x64)
Windows (x64) (not tested yet)
