A Vibe Kanban alternative with a phone app for Android and iPhone
As of October 28, 2026
Vibe Kanban runs coding agents in parallel, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI among ten, each workspace with its own branch, terminal and dev server, from a local server you open in your browser or from its desktop app. Bloop, the company behind it, shut down on April 10, 2026, and as of October 28, 2026, its site says Vibe Kanban is sunsetting and will continue as open source, community maintained. Moontors is an agentic development environment (ADE) that runs Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI side by side, in a desktop app on macOS, Windows and Linux.

What each has that the other doesn’t
Section titled “What each has that the other doesn’t”Vibe Kanban:
- open source, under the Apache-2.0 licence;
- ten coding agents to choose from, GitHub Copilot, Amp, Cursor and OpenCode among them;
- a workspace that takes several repositories, with a git worktree in each;
- a built-in browser with devtools, inspect mode and device emulation, for previewing your app;
- inline comments on its diffs that go to the agent, and pull requests opened with descriptions the agent writes;
- a server you can run on another machine and reach through a tunnel, in a browser.
Moontors:
- every session on one board, each card streaming its agent’s work as it happens, where Vibe Kanban retired its kanban board in version 0.1.44;
- an app for Android and iPhone, on Google Play and the App Store, that follows and answers your computer's own sessions over a link encrypted end to end, which no Moontors server can read;
- Moontors itself sends no telemetry; each agent's own usage data follows that agent's settings.
