Built for real teams

Everything your workflow needs

Create as many boards as your team needs. Flexboard is designed around real workflows — from solo developers to growing teams — with the flexibility to adapt as your process evolves.

Fully Self-Hosted

Deploy on any infrastructure — VPS, bare metal, or your home server. Your data never touches a third-party cloud. No subscriptions, no lock-in.

Real-Time Collaboration

Server-Sent Events keep every member in sync. Card moves, edits, and comments appear instantly across all connected clients — no polling required.

Schema-Driven Cards

Define custom card types — task, bug, story, epic — each with typed attributes: dates, labels, priorities, user references. Adapts to your process.

OIDC Authentication

Bundled self-hosted Rauthy provides enterprise-grade identity with built-in user management. Granular roles — Owner, Editor, Viewer — enforce access at the board level via JWT.

Mobile-First Design

Scroll-snap Kanban, touch drag-and-drop, and 44 px tap targets make Flexboard fully usable on phones and tablets — a first-class experience, not an afterthought.

Markdown Everywhere

Rich Markdown in card descriptions, board summaries, and custom text attributes. Syntax highlighting, emoji, and acceptance-criteria checklists included out of the box.

Live Updates

Your board, always in sync

Powered by Server-Sent Events, every change lands on all connected clients the moment it happens. Move a card, update an attribute, post a comment — your team sees it without refreshing.

Card movements and reorders broadcast to all viewers instantly
Attribute edits and comments appear across sessions without refresh
Full activity log with before/after values for every change
Board membership updates refresh the dashboard live
