KanbanBoardFree is laser-focused on kanban — no Gantt charts you don't need, no goals modules that recreate OKRs badly, no AI assistants that hallucinate. We're faster (47ms median interaction vs 200-500ms), lighter (78KB vs 1-3MB first paint), and include things competitors charge for: focus timer, time heatmap, public share links, offline mode, and vim bindings.
