 What


Kandev is a powerful tool for power users who want deeper control over how AI agents work: customize workflows, agent profiles, runtimes, prompts, and review gates to match your process.

Organize work across kanban and pipeline views with opinionated workflows and execute multiple tasks in parallel. Assign agents from any provider, and review their output in an integrated workspace - file editor, file tree, terminal, browser preview, and git changes in one place. Terminal agent TUIs are great for running agents, but reviewing and iterating on changes there doesn't scale.

Run it locally or self-host it on your own infrastructure. Use the mobile remote-access guide to connect through Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel, or another private VPN.

Open source, multi-provider, no telemetry, not tied to any cloud.

 Distribution

Kandev is distributed as a native Go binary for each supported platform. The
compiled web frontend is embedded in that binary. The binary serves the web UI
and API, so the application server does not need Node.js, a separate web
server, or a frontend build at runtime.

Homebrew, Scoop, release archives, and the desktop app run this native binary
directly. The npm/npx package adds a small Node.js platform selector, so Node.js
is required to launch Kandev through npm/npx but not by the application server.
Release bundles also include agentctl helpers for task environments.

 Vision

 Humans stay in control. Define tasks, build agentic workflows with gates, review every change, decide what ships.

- Review-first - Humans support production systems. We need to understand (yet) and trust the code that gets deployed.
- Your workflow - Every team is different, and not every developer uses AI the same way. Define workflows once, share them across the team, and give everyone a consistent process for working with agents - regardless of experience level.
- Remote agents - Running multiple agents on a large codebase can quickly saturate a local machine. The goal is a single control plane: offload execution to servers, orchestrate from anywhere, including your phone.
