The wait is finally over! Today, we are beyond excited to announce that the BanKan public beta is officially open.
If you’ve ever felt that traditional project management tools are either too sluggish, too bloated, or holding your data hostage, BanKan is the refreshing change you’ve been waiting for. We built BanKan as a beautiful, lightning-fast wrapper over the storage you already have: Google Drive.
What’s Inside the Beta?
During our private alpha, we listened to your feedback and obsessed over creating the most frictionless way to manage tasks. Here are the powerhouse features available on day one of the beta:
1. Spreadsheet Powered Magic
If you know how to use Google Sheets, you already know how to use BanKan. We connect directly to your Drive and give your data a gorgeous, interactive interface. No proprietary databases, no vendor lock-in.
2. Advanced Automation
Stop doing busywork. Set up simple conditional rules that automatically assign tasks, move cards between lists when statuses change, and notify your team instantly.
3. Nested Boards
Manage wildly different teams or complex workflows from a single, centralized launchpad without ever feeling overwhelmed. Break down massive projects into infinitely zoomable, nested sub-boards.
4. Run at the Speed of Thought
No loading spinners and no waiting for complex enterprise queries to resolve. BanKan is engineered from the ground up to be as fast as your brain.
5. Organizational Board Management
Scale seamlessly across multiple teams, agencies, or entirely distinct organizations. BanKan lets you control everything from one secure launchpad, keeping all your different workspaces completely isolated yet instantly accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BanKan Beta free to use?
Yes! During the beta period, all core features (including nested boards and automations) are completely free while we gather community feedback.
Do I need a Google Drive account?
Since BanKan uses Google Drive as its underlying database, a Google workspace or standard Google account is required to securely store your data.
Will I lose my configurations when you launch the final version?
Absolutely not. Because your data lives securely in your own Google Drive, everything you set up during the beta belongs to you and will transition seamlessly to the official release.
Can I invite my team during the beta?
Yes! You can invite as many team members as you like. Collaboration features are fully enabled so you can test BanKan in real-world scenarios.
