Vibe Kanban Cloud lets you collaborate with your team in real-time. Your data syncs to the cloud, so everyone sees the same projects, issues, and updates.
Already using Vibe Kanban locally? Cloud uses the same interface you’re familiar with. The difference is your data syncs to the cloud and you can invite team members.

​
Step 1: Launch Vibe Kanban

If you haven’t already, start Vibe Kanban:
The application opens in your browser at http://localhost:....

​
Step 2: Sign In

To access Cloud features, you need to sign in.
1

Click Login

Click the Login button in the sidebar or when prompted.
2

Choose a sign-in method

Select how you want to sign in:
  • Sign in with GitHub - Use your GitHub account
  • Sign in with Google - Use your Google account
Sign in dialog with GitHub and Google options
3

Authorise the application

You’ll be redirected to GitHub or Google. Sign in if needed, then click Authorize or Allow to grant Vibe Kanban access.
Vibe Kanban only requests access to your basic profile (name, email, avatar). It cannot access your private repositories or post on your behalf.
4

Return to Vibe Kanban

After authorising, you’re automatically redirected back and signed in.

​
Step 3: Your Personal Organisation

When you sign in for the first time, a personal organisation is automatically created for you, along with an Initial Project to get you started. This is your private workspace.
Personal organisations are just for you - you cannot invite other members. To collaborate with a team, create a new organisation (see Step 5).

​
Step 4: Create Your First Project

Now create a project to organise your work.
1

Click New Project

Click the + New Project button in the sidebar.

  • Colour - Pick a colour to identify the project
Create Project dialog with name and colour fields
3

Click Create

Your project is created with a kanban board ready to use.
