  • Easy to use, built-in Kanban tracker

    The UI feels modern and intuitive, with a clean Kanban-style board that makes it easy to manage bugs, feature requests, and internal tasks directly inside WordPress. What I really love is the contextual issue capture. Being able to automatically grab screenshots, browser/device details, page templates, and JavaScript errors dramatically reduces the back-and-forth between clients and developers. For agencies and freelancers managing client websites, this is a huge time saver. I also appreciate that the plugin is fully self-hosted with no external SaaS dependency. For organizations with privacy or compliance concerns, keeping all issue data inside WordPress is a major advantage. The notification system, customizable workflows, and Gutenberg-native experience make it feel thoughtfully integrated into the WordPress ecosystem rather than bolted on. Definitely worth checking out if you manage WordPress projects, QA, or client support workflows.

    This plugin is a proper kanban tracker that never sends anything to the cloud. A great option if you don't want to deal with third-party services or have clients with data-privacy requirements/concerns.
