Guides

Short guides, one job each. Every guide says what you will have at the end and how long it takes. Most take under five minutes.

Start here

• Connect devBoard to Claude CodeMake a token in the devBoard Mac app, add one command to Claude Code, and ask what is on your plate. It takes about two minutes.
• Track time with the timerStart the timer on the task you are working on. Start it on another task and the first one stops. The total sits next to the estimate.
• Set up a workspace for each clientFor freelancers: give each client a workspace with its own projects, people and tokens. Invite the client as a guest who can look but not change.

• Connect devBoard to Claude CodeMake a token in the devBoard Mac app, add one command to Claude Code, and ask what is on your plate. It takes about two minutes.
• Connect devBoard to CursorAdd devBoard to Cursor's mcp.json with a token from the Mac app. Then Cursor can read your tasks, comment, move cards and track time.
• Connect devBoard to VS CodeAdd devBoard to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for your token once and keeps it out of the file, so the file is safe to commit.
• Connect devBoard to Claude DesktopClaude Desktop reaches devBoard through mcp-remote. Make a token in the Mac app, paste one config block, restart, and ask what is on your plate.
• Start and finish work from your assistantSay "start APP-42". devBoard assigns you, moves the card to In progress, starts the timer and gives you a branch name. Finish the same way.
• File a bug from your assistantDescribe the bug in one sentence. Your assistant files it in devBoard with a type, priority and assignee. Here is how to ask so it gets it right.
• Keep your devBoard tokens safeA devBoard token acts as you, in one workspace, with your role. What it can reach, what it cannot, how to revoke it, and why only a hash is stored.
• Link GitHub pull requests to tasksAdd one webhook to each GitHub repo. A pull request with the task key in its title, body or branch shows on the card and can move it.
• Use the REST API from CICall devBoard from a script or CI with curl and a token. The six routes, a GitHub Actions step that moves a task to Done, and the limits.
• Track time with the timerStart the timer on the task you are working on. Start it on another task and the first one stops. The total sits next to the estimate.
• Log time after the factForgot the timer? Add the minutes to the task by hand. Fix or delete your own entries, and get a weekly table from your AI assistant.
• Set up a workspace for each clientFor freelancers: give each client a workspace with its own projects, people and tokens. Invite the client as a guest who can look but not change.
• Invite your team and your clientsInvite people to a workspace by email and pick a role for each: owner, admin, member or guest. Invites last seven days and can be revoked.
• Create epics, tasks and subtasksMake an epic, put tasks under it and split a task into subtasks. Press N on the board for a new task. The epic counts how many tasks are done.
• Plan a releaseMake a release with a target date, add the tasks that ship in it, see what is left and mark it shipped. Small teams use releases instead of sprints.
• Build a saved viewBuild a filter once, name it and open it again in one click. Use Me and Today, share it with the workspace, and show it as a board or a list.
• Start your morning in My WorkA five-minute morning routine: clear Overdue, read Today and This week, jot private to-dos with reminders, then start the timer on your first task.
• Keyboard shortcutsEvery devBoard keyboard shortcut on one page. Press ⌘K for the palette, G for My Work, N for a new item and 1–9 to move a task.
• Move from ClickUp to devBoardMove your open ClickUp tasks into devBoard by hand, with your AI assistant doing most of the typing. Leave the old work in ClickUp. About 45 minutes.
• Move from Trello to devBoardMove your open Trello cards into devBoard by hand. Lists become columns and checklists become subtasks. Your AI assistant does the typing. About 45 minutes.
• Move from Jira to devBoardMove your open Jira work into devBoard by hand. Epics stay epics, and the current sprint becomes a release. Your AI assistant does the typing. About 45 minutes.
