See where everything is
and how it got there

Visiban is a self-hosted Kanban board with swimlane support, real-time collaboration, and a complete audit trail of every card movement.

Everything a small team needs

No cloud lock-in. No per-seat pricing. Run it on your own infrastructure in minutes.

Swimlane Kanban

Organize cards across columns and swimlanes for a two-dimensional view of your pipeline — customers, projects, or teams on one axis, stages on the other.

📋

Movement Audit Trail

Every card move is recorded with who moved it, when, and where — full history, always. Analytics surface dwell time and stalled cards automatically.

Real-Time Sync

Changes appear instantly for all board members via WebSockets. A green Live dot confirms the connection. No refresh needed.

🗂

Board Templates

Start from Sales Pipeline, Customer Support, Product Roadmap, or five other purposeful templates — each pre-seeded with the right columns and a swimlane label.

✏️

Rich Text & Mentions

Card descriptions support bold, italic, code, lists, and text color. Type @username to mention a team member and send them a notification instantly.

🔐

Groups & Fine-Grained RBAC

Organize boards into groups. Four roles — admin, member, collaborator, viewer — with strict boundaries. Group Admin cascades to board-admin on every board in the group.

Fully open source

Visiban is Apache 2.0 licensed. Read the code, fork it, contribute, or self-host with full confidence. No telemetry, no vendor lock-in.

Up in minutes with Docker

One command gets you a fully functional Visiban instance with Postgres, Redis, and an Nginx reverse proxy.
