Agents Deck vs Vibe Kanban
Comparison built from the comparison reference as of September 28, 2026, with official sources. No benchmark was run between the two tools. Corrections welcome.
Vibe Kanban documents work, workspace and session management, controllable through a local MCP, with multiple executors in a development-oriented workflow. Bloop, the company behind it, announced its shutdown on April 10, 2026: a community continuation is planned, subscriptions have stopped, and remote services are due to be removed 30 days after the announcement. Local workspaces are announced to keep working. Documentation of former organizations and remote issues does not prove current availability: check the installed version.
What the comparison shows as of September 28, 2026
| Criterion | Agents Deck | Vibe Kanban |
|---|---|---|
| Reusable roles across missions | Built in | Assemble |
| Role → ticket → session → delivery | Built in | Assemble |
| Acceptance reserved for the Team Leader | Built in | Assemble |
| History by subject, with linked tickets | Built in | Assemble |
| Multiple runtimes in one project | Built in | Built in |
| Content encrypted per organisation (hardware master key) | Built in | Not established |
“Built in”: found as-is in the product or its documentation. “Assemble”: possible from documented primitives, but needs extra integration or work. “Not established”: not confirmed by the sources reviewed, which does not mean impossible.
Vibe Kanban natively supports multiple executors. A business acceptance workflow, with reusable roles and history by subject, can be composed around its MCP, but still needs building. The community maintenance announced after Bloop’s shutdown, and the migrations it implies, need review depending on the installed version.

Vibe Kanban: subscriptions stopped; a community open-source continuation was announced after Bloop’s shutdown. Infrastructure, models and maintenance still need funding, from the community or from you. Shutdown announcement
Agents Deck limits to know
- One active Team Leader per project.
- No guaranteed automatic restart: resumption depends on the local service and the machine’s availability.
- Apps for Mac and Windows; any MCP client can connect to Agents Deck.
- No fully self-hosted offering and no open-source status for this product.
When to choose each
Vibe Kanban is worth a look if a kanban approach driven by a local MCP fits how you work, and if you accept the context of community maintenance following its original vendor’s shutdown.
Agents Deck is worth evaluating when tracking, responsibilities, review and access rights need to form one coherent path, with tickets and an acceptance decision reserved for the Team Leader.
These pointers follow from the features described above, without ranking quality or claiming a quantified gain between the two tools.
