Self-hostable project management where your team and your AI agents work on the same boards.

Kanban, Table, Calendar, Timeline, and dependency views over one set of cards. More structure than a basic Kanban board, without the overhead of a heavyweight work suite.

Why Kanera

• Agents work on your board, not in a side chat. Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other agents pick up cards over MCP or the kanera CLI. A live chip shows each run on its card, turns amber when the agent needs you, and every change is attributed via Claude or via Codex.
• Every board in a workspace shares one setup. Lists, labels, custom fields, and automations are defined once per workspace, so In Review or Client means the same thing on every board and cross-board views line up without cleanup.
• See what blocks what. Link prerequisites across boards, then read the dependency map or the Timeline's critical path, slack, and projected finish.
• Self-hosted has no gating. No plans and no per-seat fees. Guests, the REST API, webhooks, and notifications to Slack, Discord, ntfy, Gotify, and more are all included.

Self-host with Docker

With Docker running (Compose 2.23 or newer), Bash, curl, and OpenSSL installed, run:

curl -fsSL https://www.kanera.app/install.sh | bash

The interactive installer asks whether you want localhost or production, generates the secrets, downloads the release's prebuilt images, and starts Kanera. No checkout or build is needed. For localhost, open http://localhost:4200 when setup finishes.

To supply the mode directly:

# Localhost
curl -fsSL https://www.kanera.app/install.sh | bash -s -- --mode localhost

# Production with automatic HTTPS (requires public DNS and inbound ports 80/443)
curl -fsSL https://www.kanera.app/install.sh | bash -s -- --mode production --domain kanera.example.com

Already have an HTTPS proxy? Add --https existing to the production command and point your proxy at 127.0.0.1:4200. The installer creates a new ./kanera directory; use --directory to choose another. DEPLOY.md covers setup, email, backups, and upgrades; DOKPLOY_DEPLOY.md covers Dokploy.

Prefer not to run it yourself? The hosted service has a free plan and a 30-day Pro trial with no card required.

One place for moving work forward

• Plan in the view that fits. Move between Kanban, Table, Calendar, Dependencies, My Cards, Team Cards, and Work Done without duplicating work.
• See what unblocks the team. Connect prerequisites across boards, trace the chain in Map, Timeline, or Steps, spot risks and bottlenecks, and edit blocking links directly on the map.
• Keep the details with the task.
