* feat(web): add clearAnswer + submit re-entry guard to useClarificationGroup clearAnswer removes a stored answer so emptying a clarification draft can revert the stepper to "unanswered". A small inflight ref in submitCollected / skipAll prevents duplicate POSTs when multiple submit paths race (e.g. Cmd+Enter inside the custom input commits the draft and also asks the parent to finalize the batch). * feat(web): show selected state and Cmd+Enter submit on clarification custom input The "Or type a custom answer…" input previously had no selected styling and needed an Enter keypress before the carousel stepper marked the question as answered, which made it easy to lose track of which path was the active answer. Now: - Typing into the custom input live-records the draft, so the stepper and group progress update immediately and the input picks up the same blue ring + check icon used by selected options. When custom is active, any previously picked option visually deselects (they are mutually exclusive at commit time). - Picking an option after typing wipes that question's draft so the visible input and committed answer stay in sync. - Cmd/Ctrl+Enter submits the bundle when every question is answered — from inside the custom input (commits the draft then finalises) and from anywhere else in the overlay. Inside the input is handled locally so submitCollected does not fire twice. * test(web): cover live-record + Cmd+Enter clarification UX Adds four cases over the existing clarification-multi mock scenario: typing auto-selects custom and deselects the option, emptying the draft reverts the stepper, Cmd+Enter from the last-step custom input submits the bundle, and Cmd+Enter from outside the input submits when all answered. Adds a session-page locator for the new custom-input container so the data-active attribute can be asserted. * fix(web): address bot review feedback on clarification UX - Cmd/Ctrl+Enter inside the custom-text input no longer calls the per-question commit path. The draft is already live-recorded via onChange, so calling onSubmit here only added a stale advance-to-next step before the bundle was submitted. Now Cmd+Enter just finalises. - handleSubmit depends on group.submitCollected (which the hook memoises) rather than the whole group object, so it no longer re-creates on every keystroke through the live-record path. - Add a unit test that fires submitCollected twice concurrently and asserts the inflight ref keeps the wire count at 1 — direct coverage for the guard introduced in the previous commit instead of relying on the 409 round-trip test.
Kandev
Manage and run tasks in parallel. Orchestrate agents. Review changes. Ship value.
Workflows | Run as a Service | Roadmap | Contributing | Architecture | Discord
What
Organize work across kanban and pipeline views with opinionated workflows and execute multiple tasks in parallel. Assign agents from any provider, and review their output in an integrated workspace - file editor, file tree, terminal, browser preview, and git changes in one place. Terminal agent TUIs are great for running agents, but reviewing and iterating on changes there doesn't scale.
Run it locally or self-host it on your own infrastructure and access it from anywhere via Tailscale or any VPN.
Open source, multi-provider, no telemetry, not tied to any cloud.
Vision
Humans stay in control. Define tasks, build agentic workflows with gates, review every change, decide what ships.
- Review-first - Humans support production systems. We need to understand (yet) and trust the code that gets deployed.
- Your workflow - Every team is different, and not every developer uses AI the same way. Define workflows once, share them across the team, and give everyone a consistent process for working with agents - regardless of experience level.
- Remote agents - Running multiple agents on a large codebase can quickly saturate a local machine. The goal is a single control plane: offload execution to servers, orchestrate from anywhere, including your phone.
Features
- Multi-agent support - Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Amp, Auggie, OpenCode, Cursor, Qwen, Factory Droid, iFlow, Kilocode, Pi, Kimi, AWS Kiro, Qoder, Trae
- Parallel task execution – start and manage multiple tasks from different sources simultaneously, boosting productivity with AI agents
- Integrated workspace - Built-in terminal, code editor with LSP, git changes panel, embedded vscode and chat in one IDE-like view
- Kanban task management - Drag-and-drop boards, columns, and workflow automation
- Agentic workflows - Multi-step pipelines that mix-and-match agents per step - for example, Claude Code Opus to design a plan, GitHub Copilot Sonnet to implement it, and Codex GPT 5.4 to review the changes. See docs/workflows.md
- Sub-tasks - Agents can spawn sub-tasks that resume from the parent task's session. Useful for splitting a task that has grown too big, or producing several PRs from the same starting point.
- CLI passthrough - Drop into raw agent CLI mode for direct terminal interaction with any supported agent, leverage the full power of their TUIs
- Workspace isolation - Git worktrees prevent concurrent agents from conflicting
- Multi-repository tasks - Span a single task across multiple repositories, with one worktree per repo, per-repo branches, per-repo PRs, and per-repo grouping in the Changes panel and review dialog
- Flexible runtimes - Run agents as local processes, in isolated Docker containers or in remote executors like sprites.dev
- Session management - Resume and review agent conversations
- Stats - Track your productivity with stats on the completed tasks, agent turns, etc
Integrations
Connect Kandev to the tools your team already uses — pull issues into the kanban, link tasks to PRs, and surface review activity inline.
Supported ACP Agents
| Agent | Launch |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | npx -y @agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp |
| Codex | npx -y @zed-industries/codex-acp |
| GitHub Copilot | npx -y @github/copilot --acp |
| Gemini CLI | npx -y @google/gemini-cli --acp |
| Amp | npx -y amp-acp |
| Auggie | npx -y @augmentcode/auggie --acp |
| OpenCode | opencode acp |
| Cursor | cursor-agent acp (requires Cursor Pro) |
| Qwen | npx -y @qwen-code/qwen-code --acp |
| Factory Droid | npx -y droid exec --output-format acp |
| iFlow (beta) | npx -y @iflow-ai/iflow-cli --experimental-acp |
| Kilocode | npx -y @kilocode/cli acp |
| Pi | npx -y pi-acp |
| Kimi | kimi acp (install Kimi CLI from Moonshot AI) |
| Kiro | kiro-cli-chat acp (install Kiro CLI from AWS) |
| Qoder | qodercli --acp (install Qoder CLI) |
| Trae | traecli acp serve (install Trae IDE CLI) |
All agents communicate via ACP (Agent Client Protocol). Some agents support ACP natively, while others use ACP adapter packages that bridge their native protocols. CLI Passthrough mode is also available for direct terminal interaction with any agent CLI. If your agent isn't supported yet, open an issue or submit a PR with the integration. See Adding a New Agent CLI for a step-by-step guide.
Bring your own TUI agents
There is support for running any agent as TUI inside a terminal. Just add the cli command in the agent profile settings and the task will start the agent inside a PTY terminal instead of using ACP.
Supported Executors
| Executor | Description |
|---|---|
| Local Process | Runs the agent as a local process on the host machine |
| Docker | Runs the agent in an isolated Docker container |
| Sprites | Runs the agent in a remote cloud environment via sprites.dev |
Each executor uses git worktrees for workspace isolation, preventing concurrent agents from conflicting.
Quick Start
Homebrew (macOS, Linux)
brew install kdlbs/kandev/kandev
kandev
NPX
npx kandev@latest
Requires npm 7+. Installs the CLI plus a platform-matched runtime bundle in one step.
NPM (global)
npm install -g kandev@latest
kandev
Updates
brew upgrade kandevnpx kandev@latest(always uses the latest published version)npm install -g kandev@latest
The worktrees and sqlite db live in ~/.kandev by default. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL or native).
From Source
# Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:kdlbs/kandev.git
cd kandev
# Start in production mode
make start
Prerequisites: Go 1.26+, Node.js 18+, pnpm, Docker (optional - needed for container runtimes)
High level architecture
graph LR

subgraph W2[Docker Container]
Agent2[Agent CLI] --- WT2[Worktree]
end
We also want to add support for these remote runtimes:
- Remote SSH - run agents on remote servers over SSH, using docker or local processes with workspace isolation
- K8s operator - run agents in a Kubernetes cluster, with auto-scaling and resource management.

Comparison to Other Tools
There are a few similar tools in this space, and new ones appearing everyday. Here's what sets this one apart:
- Server-first architecture - Not a desktop app. Runs as a server you can access from any device, including your phone. Start a task away from your computer and check in on it later.
- Remote runtimes - Run agents on remote servers and Docker hosts, not just your local machine.
- Multi-provider - Use Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, Amp, Auggie, OpenCode, Cursor, Qwen, Droid, iFlow, Kilocode, Pi, Kimi, Kiro, Qoder, and Trae side by side. Not locked to one vendor.
- CLI passthrough and chat - Interact with agents through structured chat messages or drop into raw CLI mode for full agent TUI capabilities.
- Open source and self-hostable - No vendor lock-in, no telemetry, runs on your infrastructure.
