Can I use it with several clients?

One invited person per account. Coaches who run several clients typically keep a board per client and share only that board, or use a second account for additional pairs. For more clients on one account, flat-rate plans (never per seat) are coming soon.

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.

Is it suitable for therapy notes?

No. Use it for agreed actions and reflections the client is happy to share, not for clinical records.

Does the other person need to pay or install anything?

No. They open your invite link, type a name and an email, and they're on the board. Installing it as an app on their phone is optional.

A shared board for a coach and their client

Updated 20 October 2026 · by the Simpleban team

In short

The work of coaching happens between sessions, and that's exactly where it disappears — into a notes app the client never reopens. Simpleban is a free shared kanban board for a coach and one client: the actions you agree each session become cards owned by the client with a due date, the client moves them as they go, and the coach sees progress before the next call without asking. Hand a card to the coach (“review my draft”) and it shows as waiting on them. One board per client; the client never pays.

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.

A simple session rhythm

End of session: write the two or three actions as cards, owned by the client, due before the next session.
During the week: the client drags them through Doing to Done, adds a note on what happened.
Day before: the coach opens the board and already knows where to start.
Anything the client needs from the coach — a resource, feedback on a draft — gets handed over and shows as waiting on the coach.

How it works

Every card has an owner: you, your client, or either of you — so “who is on this?” is answered before anyone asks.
Hand a card to your client and it moves to the top of their board under “waiting on you”. If they're not on the app, Simpleban emails them a few minutes later, and the next morning's 8am email mentions it once if it's still waiting — never every day. You never press a “remind” button.
When your client is done, they hand it back and it reappears at the top of your board.
Repeating cards come back on their own schedule — daily, weekly, chosen weekdays, every N days, monthly — and can alternate between the two of you.
Due dates with a calm Today / This week filter, a private calendar feed for Google, Apple or Outlook, and a countdown on the board for the date that matters.
Notes, checklists and comments live inside each card, so the context travels with the task.
A repeating card for the weekly check-in or journal entry, if that's part of your practice.
Your client joins from your invite link with a name and an email — no password, nothing to pay. Both of you have the full app on your own phone; it installs like an app and works offline for reading.

Privacy and boundaries

Each board is shared between exactly two people; a coach with several clients keeps one board per client and only the invited client can see it. Simpleban is not a clinical records system and shouldn't hold anything you'd need to keep under a professional confidentiality regime — keep that in your notes; keep the actions here.
