Vibe Kanban Cloud lets you collaborate with your team in real-time. Your data syncs to the cloud, so everyone sees the same projects, issues, and updates.
Already using Vibe Kanban locally? Cloud uses the same interface you’re familiar with. The difference is your data syncs to the cloud and you can invite team members.

​
Step 1: Launch Vibe Kanban

If you haven’t already, start Vibe Kanban: 
npx vibe-kanban
The application opens in your browser at http://localhost:....

​
Step 2: Sign In

To access Cloud features, you need to sign in.
1

Click Login

Click the Login button in the sidebar or when prompted.
2

Choose a sign-in method

Select how you want to sign in:

3

Authorise the application

Return to Vibe Kanban

After authorising, you’re automatically redirected back and signed in.

​
Step 3: Your Personal Organisation

When you sign in for the first time, a personal organisation is automatically created for you, along with an Initial Project to get you started. This is your private workspace.
Personal organisations are just for you - you cannot invite other members. To collaborate with a team, create a new organisation (see Step 5).

Your project is created with a kanban board ready to use.

​
Step 5: Create a Team Organisation (Optional)

To collaborate with others, create a new organisation and invite team members.
