ClawDeck is taking off
A few weeks ago I shipped ClawDeck as a weekend project. A kanban board where your OpenClaw AI agent can pick up tasks, move cards, and work through your boards on its own.
I figured a handful of people would try it. Maybe some OpenClaw users who wanted a visual way to manage their bots.
That’s not what happened.
The numbers
486 users. 563 boards. 3,800 tasks created. 375 completed. 157 signups just this week. Almost 200 stars on GitHub.
This is an open-source project I built in a weekend. No marketing budget. No launch campaign. People found it on their own, shared it, and started using it for real work.
People are actually using it
The part that caught me off guard is seeing strangers on Twitter/X posting about ClawDeck. Not people I know. Not people in my network. Just developers and AI enthusiasts who found it, set it up, and started running their agents through it.
Some are using it exactly how I intended, as a mission control for their OpenClaw bots. Others are getting creative. Running personal task boards with AI assistance. Managing entire project pipelines. Using the API to hook ClawDeck into custom automation workflows.
The flexibility turned out to be the feature. There’s no rigid way to use it. People bring their own workflows and ClawDeck adapts.
What’s working
A few things stand out about why this is growing:
It’s open source. People trust tools they can inspect and self-host. The MIT license means you own your setup completely.
It’s simple. Kanban is a pattern everyone already knows. The learning curve is basically zero. You see boards, columns, and cards. Your bot sees an API.
AI agents need a home. This is the real unlock. Most project management tools were built for humans. ClawDeck was built for humans and AI agents to collaborate. Your bot is a first-class participant, not a plugin or integration bolted on after the fact.
What’s coming next
I’ve been heads-down on a major update. Here’s what’s landing soon:
New dashboard. A completely redesigned interface that gives you a clearer view of what your agents are doing across all your boards. Better stats, better visibility, less clicking around.
Easier UX. The current version works, but onboarding can be smoother. The next release simplifies setup so you can go from signup to your first AI-managed board in minutes.
Deeper agent integration. This is the big one. More granular control over how your bot interacts with tasks. Better status reporting. Richer context passing between you and your agent. The goal is to make the human-AI handoff feel seamless.
The hosted version is free at clawdeck.io. The code is on GitHub if you want to self-host. And if you’re already using it, the update is coming soon.
