The simplest kanban board there is — great for small teams, thin once work gets complex.

DEV-TOP · horizontalOur take
Best as the simplest possible kanban board for individuals and small teams — it's not trying to be a full work-management platform, and you'll feel the ceiling once you need dependencies, real reporting, or resource views.
Choose this if...
- Individuals and small teams who want a visual to-do board with near-zero setup
- Freelancers managing a handful of client projects on simple boards
Look elsewhere if...
- You need task dependencies, Gantt charts, or portfolio-level reporting natively
- Your team has outgrown 10 boards or 10 collaborators on the free plan
