CmdHawk task board overview

Everything you need, nothing you don't

A single binary. No Electron. No dependencies. Just run it.

Kanban Task Management

Projects, sections (Next, Running, Review, Done), groups, priorities, subtasks, drag-and-drop reordering, and task IDs with project prefixes.

Integrated Claude Terminal

Launch Claude Code sessions directly from any project. Inline split-view or pop-out to a dedicated window. Powered by sax terminal multiplexer.

MCP Integration

Two MCP servers for Claude Code — cmdhawk MCP for task management (create, move, batch ops) and sax MCP for terminal session control. One-click install from the app.

Real-time Session Monitoring

Live status indicators for every Claude session — idle, waiting, or needs input. Color-coded dots, banner bar, toast notifications, and system alerts.

Google Drive Sync

Sync your projects and tasks across machines via Google Drive. Encrypted token storage, auto-backups before every pull, conflict-safe merge.

14 Themes & Desktop Overlay

Neon Inferno, Cyber Violet, Arctic Frost, Matrix, Sakura, and more. Always-on-top floating panel with system tray, hotkey toggle, and transparency control.
