About Simpleban

Updated 20 October 2026 · by the Simpleban team

In short

Simpleban is a free, real-time kanban board built for exactly two people — a freelancer and their client, a couple, or a cofounder pair. It is made and run by one independent developer, launched in June 2026, and lives at simpleban.app. Every feature is free for two people, and that is a written promise rather than a trial: nothing free today will ever move behind a paywall.

Simpleban, a kanban board for two people: a shared “Our home” board with This week, Doing, Waiting and Done columns, cards marked Mine or assigned to a partner, due dates, repeating chores and a moving-day countdown.

Why it exists

Every project tool is designed for a team of ten and priced per seat. Most of the work in life is shared between two people: you and your client, you and your partner, you and your cofounder. Those pairs were using Trello with 90% of it switched off, Notion with one database, or a group chat with a pinned message. Simpleban is the board that pair actually needed: columns, cards, and a clear answer to “who is on this?”.

What makes it different

Two-person assignment: every card has an owner: you, your partner, or either of you.
Handoffs instead of reminders: hand a card over and it shows as “waiting on you” on the other board — and in their inbox if they're away. Nobody presses a “remind” button on the other person.
Repeating cards that can alternate between the two people.
Calm due dates, a calendar feed, countdowns, checklists, read-only share links.
Installs like an app, works offline for reading, opens in under a second.
40 free templates that become a real board at signup.

The promise

Simpleban is free forever for two: you and the one person you invite get every feature, unlimited boards and cards, no trial and no credit card. The promise is written into the Terms: nothing that is free today will ever move behind a paywall, and your +1 never pays. If you need more people or want to share boards beyond your +1, we'll soon introduce subscription tiers — a flat rate, never per seat.

No ads. No selling data. You can export everything as JSON and delete your account yourself, any time, from the menu.
