Your board should show you less.

No. Every board starts with columns already in place so you are not staring at an empty grid deciding how to work. Rename them, reorder them, add your own or delete the ones you do not need — they are ordinary lists.

Use the add-list control at the end of the board. New lists behave exactly like the ones a board ships with, including Done and Shelf.

Boards belong to an organization. Invite people to the organization, then grant each of them access to the boards they need — access is per board, not all-or-nothing.

Drag the card onto the Done target at the edge of the board. Done is a real list that the board view keeps out of your columns, so finished work leaves your field of view without leaving your history.

Ideas you are not ready to start. Park a card on the Shelf and it drops out of the board without being deleted, and without cluttering a backlog column you scroll past every day.

Zen mode hides everything that is not the work: the chrome disappears and each column shows three cards. Same board, filtered down to what you could plausibly do next.

Yes, and it is part of the product rather than an add-on. Open the panel at the right edge of a board and ask; it answers from that board's own cards. There is a second one across every board you can reach, for questions like what is assigned to you or which boards have gone quiet.

It creates cards and columns, moves cards between lists, files them to Done or the Shelf, assigns people, rewrites titles and descriptions, keeps action items and leaves comments. It goes through the same paths your own clicks do, so the change is recorded as yours and the usual notifications go out.

No. Every write asks first and names what it is about to do, and a batch asks once rather than once per card. If you say no, nothing happens.

Only what you can. On a board it reads that board; across your boards it reads the ones you have been granted and the cards assigned to you. A board you cannot open is invisible to it, and on a board you can only view, the tools that change things are not loaded at all.

Yes. Every member of a free workspace gets $1 of assistant credit a month. Pro replaces that with $15 a month for the whole workspace to share. Past the allowance it is pay-as-you-go up to a monthly cap you choose, and you can buy prepaid credit that carries over rather than expiring. Your billing page shows what is left and what used it.

You pick per chat from Claude, GPT and Gemini, with Claude Sonnet as the default. Short background jobs like naming a chat run on a faster, cheaper model so they cost you almost nothing.

Across your chats, yes, when you tell it something worth keeping. Everything it has remembered is listed on one page you can read and delete from. Each board also keeps its own chat history, so last week's thread is still where you left it.

KYZEN for iPhone and iPad. Your boards are all in it, and so is everything on them: cards with their checklists, files and comments, the board's chat, its stats, your assistant threads, and Done and the Shelf. On a phone the board shows one column at a time and a flick brings the next; on an iPad they sit side by side.

The whole board. Moving between cards and columns, opening one, creating one, filing it and moving it are each a single key. Press ? on a board and the sheet lists every key that works where you are standing, so there is nothing to hold in your head.

One per board, for the talking that is not about a particular card. There is an open room everyone on the board shares and direct rooms for one to one, and you can pin up to three of them open beside the columns. Limited clients are not in the open room, which is part of what makes a board safe to share outside the team.

Both. The kyzen command line covers listing a board, creating and moving cards, commenting, assigning, ticking action items and marking things done; the HTTP API is those same operations over JSON. Tokens are personal, scoped to one workspace, read-only or read-write, and listed under Account with a revoke beside each one.

Yes. KYZEN is an MCP server, so Claude Code, Claude Desktop and claude.ai can connect to it and receive the operations as tools. Every app you have connected is listed on one page, with what it was allowed, when it was connected, and a disconnect beside it.

No. Nothing outside the browser can delete a card, a list or a board, or change who can reach one. It is not a permission you have to remember to switch off — those actions are not there to begin with.

As much or as little as you say. Each category is set on its own — in-app, email, both or neither — and email can arrive as one daily digest rather than a message at a time. The categories are few: someone assigned you a card, mentioned you, wrote in a chat you are in, invited you somewhere, or something happened to the bill.

Yes. Each board has a stats view covering activity, how work moves between lists, and what has been completed — grouped by when cards were actually filed, not by when a row was last touched.

A single list of every card assigned to you across all your boards, so you do not have to open each board to find out what is yours.

Organization admins can administer every board in the organization. Members get access to the boards they are granted. Limited clients see only the cards they created or are assigned to, which makes a board safe to share with someone outside the team.

Yes, and it follows your system setting by default. You can pin it to light or dark whenever you like.

It is the next thing to pick up. There is exactly one per column and it follows the top position rather than a flag you have to set, so moving a card up is what makes it the one to start on.

Depth. The first three stay solid and each one after steps back, so a long column reads as a queue rather than as eleven equally loud demands. Nothing is hidden: hover a card, or reach it with the keyboard, and it comes straight back to full. On a touchscreen every card stays solid, since a finger cannot hover — and in the iPhone and iPad app the curve is steeper and there is a switch per board if you would rather it did not.

Yes. A board can be made public and shared with a link, so people can see it without an account.

Yes. Voting is built in, so priority comes from the team rather than from whoever reordered the list last.

Search any board by card name or description with Cmd + / , and click a teammate's avatar to see only their cards.

Press Cmd + J for a list of every board you have access to, and type to filter it. It reaches across your organizations too.

Related cards can be grouped so the relationship is visible on the board instead of living in somebody's head.

Yes. The colour you pick tints the board and its lists together, so each board is recognisable at a glance and can be made to match your brand.

By default a board shows three columns with room around them to keep the work in focus, and scrolls sideways as you add more. Expand the board to use the full width of your screen when you want everything visible at once.

Hover the list name and click the icon on the left. The list folds away until you want it back.

Every attachment across a board is collected in one view. See them as a flat list of files, or grouped by the card they belong to.

It is a fair comparison, and we are fans of Trello. The difference is the point of view: KYZEN ships with a workflow rather than an empty board, and it actively moves finished and parked work out of sight instead of letting it accumulate in front of you.

From kaizen — steady, small improvement. The product is built on the same idea: make the next step obvious, repeat, and let the progress accumulate.
