Not everything moves
at the same pace.
One glance. Full picture.
Visiban gives every customer, project, or team its own swimlane row, records every card move automatically, and shows you what's stuck — without plugins, JQL, or spreadsheet workarounds.
Everything a small team needs
No cloud lock-in. No per-seat pricing. Run it on your own infrastructure in minutes.
Swimlane Kanban
Two-dimensional boards with stages on the X-axis and any group — customers, projects, teams, or initiatives — on the Y-axis. Each cell is a droppable zone. Up to 50 columns and 100 swimlanes per board.
Movement Audit Trail
Every card move is recorded with who moved it, when, and where — full history, always. Analytics surface median dwell time per stage and stalled cards automatically. History survives renames and deletes.
Real-Time Sync
Changes appear instantly for all board members via WebSockets. A green Live dot confirms the connection.
Board Templates
Choose from 11 built-in templates — Sales Pipeline, Customer Support, Product Roadmap, and more — each pre-seeded with columns and demo cards.
Rich Text & Mentions
Card descriptions with bold, italic, code, and lists. Type @username to mention a team member and notify them instantly.
Groups & RBAC
Four roles — admin, member, collaborator, viewer — with strict boundaries. Nest boards inside group hierarchies with inherited permissions.
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.
