Configuration
Settings are available under Extensions → Kanban Bowl in VS Code Settings.
kanban-bowl.workspaceBoards
Type: boolean — Default: true
When enabled, each workspace/project stores its own boards independently. Disable to use a single global board across all projects.
kanban-bowl.defaultColumns
Type: array — Default: To Do, Doing, Done
Defines the columns created automatically when adding a new board.
"kanban-bowl.defaultColumns": [<br>{ "name": "Backlog", "color": "#6366F1" },<br>{ "name": "In Progress", "color": "#F59E0B" },<br>{ "name": "Review", "color": "#3B82F6" },<br>{ "name": "Done", "color": "#22C55E" }
Data & Privacy
All data is stored locally in VS Code's built-in extension storage — nothing leaves your machine. No telemetry, no network requests, no third-party dependencies at runtime. VS Code Settings Sync does not sync Kanban Bowl data.
Security notice: Board data is stored as plain text on disk (VS Code does not encrypt extension storage). Do not store passwords, secret keys, or similarly critical credentials in Kanban Bowl.
Building from source
