HyperTeamsHyperTeams vs Vibe Kanban
Vibe Kanban is an open-source tool for planning work as kanban issues, running coding agents in workspaces, and reviewing their diffs. HyperTeams runs the agents you already use on your computer, follows you to your phone while you are away, runs on a schedule, and adds rules and cost once colleagues assign work.
Why HyperTeams over Vibe Kanban
The biggest difference is what happens when nobody is at the screen. Vibe Kanban is a local server you open in a browser to plan and review, and work starts when a person creates a workspace. HyperTeams System keeps running after you close the window, lets you check progress and add instructions from your phone, and starts work on its own at the times you set. When colleagues start assigning work, HyperTeams Connect adds accounts, policy, pre-approval, an audit trail and cost per person. HyperTeams does not drive Vibe Kanban — if you need a planning board and code review, keep it alongside.
It follows you away from the screen
You open a local server on your machine in a browser. By default that server only listens on the machine itself.
Attach an address in the app to reach the control room from outside, install it on your phone like an app, check progress and add instructions. You get a notification when it is done.
It starts on its own at a set time
A person creates a workspace to start an agent. There is no way to run it at a set time.
Pick a time on screen and it runs then, every day. A failure notifies you.
Rules come with work others assign
The hosted team features (issues, comments, projects, organisations) were removed 30 days after the shutdown notice. A shared board now means running your own server.
Accounts and roles, policy per folder and command, pre-approval per item, and an audit trail of who approved what, and when.
Answer "who spent what this month"
Cost is read separately, on the account and bill of each agent you attached.
Cost attaches to each job and is attributed to a person and a team. You can set ceilings.

- Vibe KanbanA local server started on your machine with npx, used in a browser.

Vibe Kanban docsWhat the control room does, and what Connect does
HyperTeams is two products. Which of them answers each row above is exactly where the boundary sits.
HyperTeams System
Runs the work on your machine
A program you install with one command. It assigns work per folder, runs jobs in parallel, and keeps going after you close the window. While you work alone, this is all you need.
- Where it runs
- Several jobs at once
- How far along it is
- If you close the window
- At a set time
HyperTeams Connect
Makes it something others rely on, unattended
It starts paying the moment there is a second machine and a second person: pooling machines into one list, filtering work others assign through approval, keeping an audit trail of what happened, and splitting cost per person.
- Several machines in one place
- When someone else assigns work
- Retracing it later
- What it cost
When do you move up a rung?
- L1 · Observe
You watch several machines. The moment there is a second one.
- L2 · Share
The team sees what was asked for. The moment you start sharing one password.
- L3 · Delegate
Others assign work and see the results. This is where approval, policy, and audit earn their place.
Running both
You don't remove or migrate what you use today. Here is how to layer HyperTeams on top of it.
- 1
Keep Vibe Kanban
Nothing is removed. Keep planning issues and reviewing diffs there.
- 2
Install the control room with one command
Install it on the same computer and register the folders you work in. Both use the agents signed in on that machine.
- 3
Split the work
Code work you plan and review on the board goes to Vibe Kanban; work you walk away from, work on a schedule, and work outside code go to the control room. They sit side by side — HyperTeams does not drive Vibe Kanban.
Which one should you pick?
When to just use Vibe Kanban
When planning and code review are the center
Plan as kanban issues, leave inline comments on the diff to send back to the agent, open a PR and merge. HyperTeams has neither an issue board nor a diff review panel.
When you want to see a web app right away
Each workspace has a dev server, and a built-in browser with devtools and device emulation shows the result immediately.
When you switch among ten-plus agents
Pick from Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode and more. HyperTeams drives Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex and Antigravity.
When HyperTeams is the answer
When you hand it over and walk away
HyperTeams SystemIt keeps running on your computer after you close the window; check progress and add instructions from your phone, and get a notification when it is done. Scheduled work is set on the same screen.
When the work is not code
HyperTeams SystemResearch, first drafts, tidying survey data — work that never ends in a PR goes on a job card too. Publish the result as a link behind a password.
When a second computer appears
HyperTeams ConnectA control room on each machine, all of them in one list, including which machine is awake.
When you work as a team
HyperTeams ConnectNo server of your own to run: accounts and roles, policy and pre-approval, an audit trail, and cost per person and team with ceilings. That is Connect.
A layer, not a replacement
Put it on top of what you already run
One command to install. Nothing you use today gets removed or moved — you only add the command screen above it.

Common questions
Vibe Kanban is an open-source tool for planning work as kanban issues and running coding agents in workspaces, each with its own branch, terminal and dev server. You review diffs with inline comments and open PRs to merge. One npx command starts it on your machine, and you use it in a browser.
Not if an issue board and diff review are the center of your work — HyperTeams has neither. If you need work to keep running while you are away, run on a schedule, and handle more machines and colleagues in one place, HyperTeams is the answer.
In April 2026 Bloop, the company behind it, announced it was shutting down and that the project would continue as Apache-2.0 open source maintained by the community. The hosted team features (issues, comments, projects, organisations) were removed 30 days later; local workspaces keep working. New releases have continued to appear in the repository since.
No. Each job is a card, with status, a summary of the answer and an unread marker in one list. If you need a board for planning issues, keep Vibe Kanban alongside.
Yes. Both use the Claude Code signed in on your computer. The usage limit sits on the account, so they share it. HyperTeams shows what is left and what each job cost on one screen.
