* feat(linear): enrich issue watch filters with priority, labels, creator, estimate Adds priority, labels (multi-select), creator (team member select), and estimate range filters to Linear issue watchers — closing the gap with Linear's GraphQL filter surface so users can scope auto-run watchers nearly as tightly as they would in Linear itself. - Backend: extend SearchFilter, map new fields to IssueFilter, add ListLabels / ListUsers on the Client interface, expose them over HTTP (GET /api/v1/linear/labels, /users) and via SearchIssues query params. - Frontend: extend LinearSearchFilter, fetch labels + users per team, render new filter controls in the watcher dialog, and split helpers into linear-issue-watch-form.ts + linear-issue-watch-fields.tsx so the dialog stays under file/function size limits. * fix(linear): address reviewer feedback on enriched filter PR - Reject invalid priority / malformed estimate query params with 400 instead of silently dropping them; reject estimateMin > estimateMax. Mirror the bounds check in the issue-watch validator so JSON-encoded watches go through the same gate. - A11y: render label/state toggle Badges inside <button aria-pressed> so keyboard users can navigate and screen readers can announce state. - Recover from per-team fetch failures so a transient network blip doesn't permanently mark a team as "fetched-empty" — clear the in-flight marker when any of states/labels/users fail, allowing remount to retry. - Tighten priority typing: LinearSearchFilter.priority is 0|1|2|3|4, and LinearPriority is the source of truth on the form-state side. Promote FormState from a type alias to an interface per repo convention. * fix(linear): align update error message and clear fetchedTeams on cancel - UpdateIssueWatch's filter-empty error still listed only the original four fields; bring it in line with the create path so the message matches what filterIsEmpty actually accepts. - linear-issue-watch-fields: clear the fetchedTeams marker on effect cancellation as well as failure, so a remount after a fast teamKey switch can retry instead of being stuck with whatever partial cache the prior effect produced. * fix(linear): address PR #974 reviewer findings - linear-issue-watch-fields: delete the fetchedTeams marker on effect cleanup so rapid team switches (A → B → A) refetch on return instead of being stranded mid-load. Capture the Set in a local so the cleanup closure references the exact instance the effect body added to. - graphql_client: raise the labels/users page cap from 100 to Linear's max of 250 via a shared linearMaxPageSize constant and a $first variable. Documented that a workspace exceeding that would need cursor-pagination here AND lazy-load in the UI. - service_issue_watch.validateFilterBounds + handlers parseSearchNumeric Filters: reject negative estimate values — Linear story points are non-negative, so a -1 would silently match nothing. * fix(linear): collapse duplicate hint text on States/Labels rows When no team was selected the row showed two stacked muted lines — the field description and the multi-select's "Pick a team…" prose — saying overlapping things. Swap the row description based on team selection and let the multi-select render nothing when disabled, so exactly one line is shown in either state. Also tightens the new fields' descriptions to match the brevity of the existing ones (Labels, Estimate min/max). * fix(linear): reject NaN/Inf estimates and preserve team cache after success CodeRabbit + cubic flagged two real issues in the previous round: - strconv.ParseFloat accepts "NaN" / "+Inf" / "-Inf" without erroring, and "f < 0" passes through for NaN. Without an explicit math.IsNaN / math.IsInf guard those values would propagate into the GraphQL request and the eventual json.Marshal would 500 instead of 400. Add the guard for both estimate_min and estimate_max, with a regression test covering NaN, ±Inf, negative, and inverted range. - useTeamsAndStates was deleting the per-team cache marker on every cleanup, so a normal team switch evicted a healthy cache and the next visit re-fetched all three datasets. Track a "loaded" flag and only evict on cleanup when the fetch didn't complete successfully. Also extracts the duplicated "team_key" / "team_key required" wire strings into package-level constants per the repo's "3+ occurrences → constant" convention. * test(linear): add handler tests for /labels and /users endpoints Mirrors the existing TestHTTPListStates_* pair — required team_key returns 400, and a happy path that asserts the team_key reaches the client and the response is 200. Closes the coverage gap CodeRabbit flagged on the two new endpoints introduced in this PR. * feat(linear): make priority filter multi-select Status and label filters are already multi-select; priority being a single Select broke the symmetry and forced single-value thinking. Linear's own filter UI is multi-select per priority, and the GraphQL filter takes priority: { in: [...] } natively, so the wire change is clean. Backend - SearchFilter.Priority *int → Priorities []int - buildIssueFilter emits priority: { in: priorities } when non-empty - validateFilterBounds checks each element ∈ [0,4] - normalizeFilter de-dupes (preserves caller order) - HTTP query param priority → priorities, parsed as CSV - Tests updated, including priority=0 still expressible as Priorities=[0] (matches "No priority" issues only) Frontend - LinearSearchFilter.priority → priorities: LinearPriority[] - FormState.priority → priorities - PRIORITY_OPTIONS dropped the (any) sentinel; "No priority" sits at the end of the chip row - PriorityMultiSelect added next to State/Label multi-selects - Priority moved to its own full-width row matching States/Labels; Creator promoted to a stand-alone CreatorRow Refactor - searchLinearIssues query-param building extracted to a flat table-driven helper to keep cyclomatic complexity ≤ 15 * refactor(linear): regroup watcher dialog fields and add section separators UX pass on the watcher dialog: - Pulled Team out into its own full-width row and paired Assignee + Creator in a 2-col row so the people filters sit together — the old Team+Assignee pairing forced a context switch between scope and people filters mid-form. - Added hairlines between the four conceptual blocks (Destination / Filter / Automation / Prompt / Settings). Each block answers a different question, so a consistent rhythm helps users scan the form by section instead of reading one long stack. No behaviour change; pure layout. * refactor(linear): use shared Separator for watcher dialog section breaks Initially extracted a local SectionDivider, but @kandev/ui/separator (Radix-based, shadcn) already exists and is used in 14 places across the codebase — including the sibling Jira settings page. Use that instead so the styling tracks the rest of the app. * refactor(linear): split parseSearchNumericFilters to satisfy cyclop Extract priority and estimate-bound parsing into helpers so the entry point drops below the project's max cyclomatic complexity (15). * fix(linear): reject non-finite/negative estimates and align fmt - validateFilterBounds rejects NaN/+-Inf in addition to negatives, so a watch config can't be persisted with values that would later crash json.Marshal. Adds focused unit tests. - parseEstimate on the frontend treats negatives as unset so the UI cannot submit estimateMin/Max < 0. - gofmt-only alignment tweak in handlers_test.go test table.
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

| 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.

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.
