For teams with moving work.One fast system to run it.
From agile squads and client agencies to cross-functional operations. Tactile boards when you need speed, rollups when you scale.
- Teams of 1 to 100
- Client & guest isolation
- Multi-project Portfolio
Built to fit your stage without changing how you work.
Practical fit ranges for how teams grow. Workload shape, cross-project visibility, and permissions matter more than raw headcount.
Small teams & founders
Three boards, four users, and three active automations fit inside the Free plan. My Cards and nested notes keep the week in one place.
Growing delivery teams
A workspace standardises each project. Team Cards brings assignments together, while Portfolio keeps delivery health visible across the active team.
Multi-project organisations
A board per project, a workspace per department, and Portfolio for ownership, delivery health, activity, and structured drill-downs across all of them.
Department rollouts
Standardise department by department, then check file volume, realtime activity, integration load, and identity policy against the rollout plan.
Tailored for how different teams collaborate.
Whether you run client accounts, cross-functional sprints, or recurring operations, Kanera gives each discipline its own workflow with shared visibility underneath.
Agencies & Client Services
A board per client, guest access scoped to that board, and billable hours totalled per account in Table view.
Operations & Delivery Leads
Recurring projects that run the same way every time, reported from one shared workspace structure and Portfolio.
Product, Design & Engineering
Launches, requests, research, and delivery in a model non-technical teammates can use. REST API, webhooks, and MCP for everything else.
Founders & Fast Startups
Enough structure to stay honest about deadlines, without administering a heavy enterprise platform programme.
Teams Leaving Another Tool
Import a Trello board with its lists, labels, members, custom fields, checklists, and attachments after you create a workspace.
One seat. The entire product.
Kanera Pro is $5 per user each month with every view, automation, and platform capability built in. No tiered paywalls or feature gating as your team expands.

Multi-project rollups and Portfolio
My Cards and Team Cards bring assignments together across boards. Portfolio rolls live totals from board to workspace to organization level.
Where Kanera is the wrong choice.
Worth reading before a rollout rather than after one. Every requirement below is one Kanera intentionally does not meet today.
You require Gantt scheduling, capacity planning, or personal timers.
Kanera centres boards, Table reporting, Calendar planning, Global Work, Portfolio, and Work Done. Dependencies maps, due-week timelines, and numbered Steps track blockers and ready-to-start handoffs. Kanera automatically tracks working hours while cards are in In progress lists, and admins can correct the totals. Table totals and exports time in progress, while numeric custom fields can hold separate estimates or billable hours. Kanera does not include Gantt bars, capacity planning, personal timers or timesheets, request forms, or widget dashboards.
Software issues, cycles, and releases define the work.
Kanera centres board-led project operations rather than native issue triage, sprint capacity, release workflows, roadmaps, and critical-path scheduling.
Your company wiki is the primary requirement.
Kanera includes powerful nested notes for project context, but it is not a general publishing system, free-form database builder, or company wiki.
SAML, OIDC, or SCIM is a hard security requirement.
Kanera signs people in with email and password, then controls access through organisation, workspace, and board roles with guest restrictions. There is no SAML or OIDC single sign-on and no SCIM provisioning yet. AI clients connecting through MCP authenticate with OAuth.
You need app-store apps.
Kanera installs as a PWA on desktop, iOS, and Android with offline board browsing, push notifications, and share-to-card, but there are no App Store or Play Store builds.
Nobody can own self-hosting operations.
Self-hosting means updates, monitoring, backups, restore tests, mail, storage, and incident response. Use Kanera Pro if the team wants Kanera to operate it.
You need a permissive open-source licence.
Kanera uses Elastic License 2.0. It can be inspected, modified, and self-hosted for your own use, but it cannot be offered to third parties as a hosted or managed service.

Start from the workflow your team already runs.
A new workspace begins with the kind of work it is for. Kanera builds the lists, custom fields, and labels to match, and every one of them is editable before setup finishes.
- Development Team
- Agent Workflow
- Marketing
- Product Team
- Sales CRM
- Operations / Support
- Project Delivery
- Client Onboarding

- Hiring Pipeline
- Simple Todo
