Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I create a project?

After signing in, click "New Project" on the dashboard. Give your project a name and select a type (Web App, Mobile App, Website, or Other). Kanbango will create the project and automatically generate a starter task list using AI.

Can I use Kanbango without signing up?

No — all data is tied to your account so it can be stored securely and synced across devices. You can sign up with Google or create an account with your email and password.

Is there a free tier?

Yes. The Free tier lets you create projects and use all core features. Paid plans (Standard and Pro) unlock a higher project limit and any future premium features.

Kanban Board

How do I add a task?

On the Board tab, click the "+" icon at the top of any column. Type a task title and press Enter or click "Add". You can also press Escape to cancel.

How do I move a task between columns?

On desktop, drag and drop the task card to the target column. The task status updates automatically.

How do I edit a task?

Click any task card to open the task detail view. From there you can edit the title, description, and priority (Low, Medium, High). Click "Save" to apply changes.

How do I delete a task?

Open the task detail view by clicking the card, then click the trash icon in the bottom-left corner. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

What do the priority levels mean?

Priority is up to you to define. Low (gray), Medium (blue), and High (red) are visual labels to help you prioritize. They do not affect ordering or notifications.

AI Task Generation

How does AI task generation work?

When you create a project, Kanbango sends the project name and type to Google Gemini with a prompt to generate a realistic task breakdown. The tasks are added to your Backlog column automatically. This usually takes 5–15 seconds.

What if no tasks appear after I create a project?

The board polls for AI-generated tasks for about 20 seconds after project creation. If no tasks appear, try refreshing the page. You can always add tasks manually.

Can I edit or delete AI-generated tasks?

Yes — all AI-generated tasks are regular tasks. Edit them, delete them, move them, or ignore them entirely. They are a starting point, not a prescription.

Does AI generation use my account credits?

No. AI task generation is included at no extra cost on all plans. It is powered by Kanbango's API connection to Google Gemini.

Notes

How do I create a note?

Go to the Notes tab on any project and click the "+" icon in the sidebar. A new untitled note will appear ready to edit.

Does Kanbango support markdown?

Yes. The notes editor accepts full markdown syntax — headings, bold, italics, lists, code blocks, links, and more. Click "Preview" in the toolbar to render the markdown.

Do notes save automatically?

Yes. Notes auto-save one second after you stop typing. There is no manual save button needed.

Can I have multiple notes per project?

Yes. Create as many notes as you need. They are listed in the sidebar sorted by most recently updated.

Credential Vault

What can I store in the vault?

Any sensitive string: API keys, database connection strings, environment variables, webhook secrets, OAuth credentials, and so on.

How are credentials encrypted?

Every credential value is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being written to the database. Decryption happens server-side — your raw values are never sent to the client unencrypted or logged anywhere.

Can I reveal a stored credential?

Yes. Click the eye icon next to a credential to reveal the value in the browser. Click again to hide it.

Can I copy a credential without revealing it?

Yes. Click the copy icon to write the value to your clipboard without displaying it on screen.

Is the vault a replacement for a password manager?

The vault is project-scoped and designed for developer credentials (API keys, env vars). It is not a general-purpose password manager and should not be used to store personal account passwords.

Billing & Plans

How do I upgrade my plan?

Go to the Pricing page and click "Upgrade" next to the plan you want. You will be redirected to a Stripe checkout page to complete payment.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. Click "Manage subscription" on the pricing page (available when you have an active paid plan) to access the Stripe customer portal, where you can cancel your subscription immediately.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Your projects, tasks, notes, and credentials remain accessible on the Free tier. If you exceed the Free tier project limit after downgrading, existing projects are retained but you may not be able to create new ones until you are within the limit.

How is billing handled?

All payments are processed securely by Stripe. Kanbango never stores your card details.
