Comments, Activity & Notifications

The in-app drawer always stays complete. Quietening a channel changes what interrupts you, never what you can go back and read.

Languages

One team. Each person's language.

Choose from 11 language options, from English (US and UK) to Japanese and Traditional Chinese. Each person picks their own, and boards, settings, emails, and notifications follow it, with dates and numbers formatted to match.

Only the interface changes. Cards, comments, and notes stay exactly as your team wrote them, so a mixed-language team still works on one shared board.

Chat, MCP, Full API & Webhooks

Connect Kanera to your stack and your agents.

Kanera is built to be more than a closed system. Post card activity straight into Slack, Discord, Telegram, or Zulip. Use the API to build custom workflows, reports, sync jobs, and integrations. Use webhooks to send Kanera activity to other systems. Use MCP to let AI agents securely connect to Kanera.

Agents report back where the team already looks: live runs on the card, and every change badged with the agent and the person it acted for. See AI agents
