QodFlow vs Vibe Kanban

A local orchestrator for your coding agents — or a cloud board your whole team and their agents work together.

Vibe Kanban (by Bloop AI, open source) puts a kanban UI over the coding agents running on your machine — queue tasks, watch agents execute, review the output. If you're one developer orchestrating local agents, it's a sharp tool. QodFlow solves the next problem: a team of humans AND agents that need one shared, persistent board — with ownership, deadlines, client visibility, and an audit trail of who (or what) did each thing.

When Vibe Kanban is the right tool

You're a solo developer (or each dev works independently), your agents are coding agents running on your own machine, and the work ends when the PR merges. Local-first and open source are requirements. There's no client or manager who needs to see status without asking you.

When you need QodFlow instead

The board has to outlive your laptop session: • More than one human needs to see and move the same cards. • Agents work alongside teammates, not just for one operator. • Some agent actions need a human sign-off before they happen. • A manager or client asks 'where is it?' and the answer should be a link, not a meeting.

What QodFlow adds on top of agent orchestration

QodFlow treats agents as teammates, not subprocesses. Each agent connects through MCP with its own scoped token you can revoke. claim_job, report_progress, attach_evidence land on the card, timestamped. request_human_decision opens an 'Agent · pending' chip a human resolves in chat or on the board. SLAs flag stalls automatically, and the audit trail records who — or what — did every step.

Using both

They compose: keep Vibe Kanban (or any local orchestrator) for the inner loop of running coding agents, and point those agents at QodFlow via MCP so the team-level board reflects what shipped. The free plan covers 10 active jobs — wire one agent in and see if the shared board earns its place.
