# Board & views
The web interface — kanban and list views, filtering, search, the command palette and keyboard shortcuts.
> Kandown documentation — https://kandown.dev/docs/guides/board-and-views
Running `kandown` opens the web board at `http://localhost:5176` (the port is configurable). It is
served by a local daemon as a single self-contained HTML file.
## Two views
### Board
The default: a horizontal kanban with drag-and-drop between columns. Columns are freely editable —
rename them, reorder them, add or remove them in Settings, and every task's `status` follows.
The last column is the **terminal column**. Moving a task there is what triggers the dependency
gate described in [Tasks](/docs/guides/tasks.md#dependencies).
### List
A sectioned list with filters and sorting, better suited to a large backlog than a wide board.
Switch with ⌘1 and ⌘2.
## Finding things
**Search** (/) is full-text across titles, bodies, subtasks, tags, assignee and
priority — not just titles.
**Filters** narrow by status, tag, assignee, priority and owner type. Owner filtering is the one
worth remembering on a shared board: it separates your work from your agents' at a glance.
**Group by** reorganises either view by priority, assignee or epic.
**Command palette** (⌘K) is the fastest way to reach any of the above, plus
task creation and navigation.
## Editing a task
Opening a task gives you a WYSIWYG Markdown editor for the body, with structured controls for the
fields alongside it. The `report` field is rendered prominently — on a board that agents write to,
the completion report is usually the thing you actually want to read.
## Due dates
Tasks with a `due` date surface in a banner when they come due or run late, so a date you set three
weeks ago does not quietly pass.
## Bulk operations
A whole column can be archived or deleted in one action, which is how you clear a `Done` column at
the end of a cycle without touching twenty files.
## Keyboard shortcuts
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘K | Command palette |
| ⌘1 / ⌘2 | Board view / list view |
| N | New task |
| / | Search |
| R | Reload from disk |
| ⌘S | Save |
| ⌘⌫ | Delete |
| Esc | Close the current panel |
## The daemon
The board is served by a per-project daemon that outlives the terminal UI, so closing your shell
does not close your browser tab.
```bash
kandown daemon status
kandown daemon start
kandown daemon stop
kandown projects # every open kandown project on this machine
```
It binds to `127.0.0.1` only and mints a random per-project API token at startup — see
[Configuration § security](/docs/reference/configuration.md#security).
