What Kanboard actually does
Kanboard is a self-hosted task management tool that visualises workflows using a board interface. It provides a straightforward method for tracking projects and todo lists through various stages of completion. The application is built with PHP and licensed under the MIT licence.
Best fit: It suits individuals or teams seeking a lightweight, traditional task board deployed within their own infrastructure without complex dependencies.
Worth knowing: The feature set is minimal compared to larger project management platforms, meaning advanced workflows may require manual organisation or external tooling.
Deployment notes
You will typically need a standard PHP-compatible web server with a relational database backend and persistent storage configured for user uploads.
