WorkspaceOrg -- group your projects into personal workspaces
A small Kanboard plugin that lets each user file their projects into their own named workspaces (think folders: "UNIBRA", "UPE", "Home"), and see them grouped on a My workspaces dashboard page. Kanboard's project list is otherwise flat -- this gives you structure without touching how projects themselves work.
Everything is per user: your workspaces and how you file your projects are yours alone. Two people can file the same shared project differently, and neither sees the other's grouping.
What it does
- Adds a My workspaces entry to the dashboard sidebar (next to Overview / My projects / My tasks / My subtasks). Visible to every logged-in user -- no admin rights needed.
- That page lists your projects grouped by workspace (each heading shows the project count,
e.g.
POLI/UPE (3)), with each row showing the project id, title and owner, plus a small id dropdown with a "Configure this project" shortcut. From it you can:- add / rename / remove workspaces (each via a small modal, like Kanboard's Tags page);
- move a project to another workspace with an inline dropdown on its row.
- Shows a
[Workspace]badge before the project title on the dashboard overview, the dashboard "My projects" tab, and the Projects management list -- so you can see at a glance where each project is filed.
The "Default" workspace
Every project starts in Default, which is simply "not filed yet". Default is not a real stored workspace -- it is the leftover bucket -- so it can never be renamed or removed, and it always sorts last. Projects in Default show no badge (to keep unfiled projects clean).
Removing a workspace moves its projects back to Default; it never deletes anything.
Ordering
On the My workspaces page, workspaces are listed alphabetically (A-Z) with Default last, and the projects within each workspace are alphabetical too.
How it stores data
No database migration. Everything lives in user metadata: your workspace names
(workspaceorg_names) and your project-to-workspace map (workspaceorg_map), both as JSON.
Nothing is global and nothing touches the projects themselves -- uninstalling the plugin leaves
that metadata harmlessly in place and changes nothing about your projects.
Requirements
- Kanboard >= 1.2.0
Installation
Copy this folder into your Kanboard installation as plugins/WorkspaceOrg/. The directory name
must be exactly WorkspaceOrg (Kanboard derives the plugin namespace from the folder name). No
build step and no database migration. Reload, then open My workspaces from the dashboard.

- FinanceBuddy -- attach a money value (debit/credit and installments) to cards, shown on the card and totalled per column.
- QualKard -- flashcard spaced repetition: grade a card by dragging it to a column, and it comes back when due (needs RecoReco).

- BulkMoveTasks -- move every task from one board column to another in a single action.
- ShrinkVertically -- shrink vertically-collapsed board columns so the horizontal scrollbar stays within reach.
- TweakDrag -- board drag and touch niceties: drag-to-scroll, a wider column gap, and smoother card dragging.
