Boards and cards
Columns bound to workflow stages, swimlanes, drag and drop with optimistic moves. Cards hold markdown, attachments, tags, priorities, due dates, estimates, custom fields, subtasks and checklists.
Open workflow engine · Boards, automation, plugins
Your board should follow your process, not the other way round.
Worklane is a workflow-first Kanban platform for software teams. Stages and transitions form a real directed graph — with branches, merges, conditions and permissions — and everything else on the platform reacts to it.
English, Russian and German out of the box — switch without a reload.

The workflow engine
A graph, not a row of columns
Draw the process your team actually follows: branch it, merge it, send work back. The board renders the graph, and a move that the workflow rejects rolls straight back — no card ever ends up somewhere the process does not allow.
Conditions on every transition
Require a comment or an assignee, restrict a move to a role, enforce a WIP limit, or gate it behind a condition tree over the card's own fields.
A visual editor with live validation
Drag to arrange, drag to connect. Unreachable stages and dangling edges are flagged as you draw, before anyone works against a broken process.
Five templates to start from
Software development, mobile, marketing, HR — or an empty canvas. Every template is a normal workflow you can keep editing afterwards.
What you get
One system, not five tools
Every meaningful action emits a catalogued domain event. Automation, webhooks, the live board, plugins and the audit log all read from that one stream, so the parts stay in agreement without any glue of your own.
Milestones as first-class work
A milestone sits on the board like a card while grouping the work beneath it: progress by count or by effort, forecast completion date, dependencies, nesting and a roadmap timeline.
Automation and webhooks
IF an event and a condition tree, THEN an ordered list of actions — fifteen built in, with delays, per-action error handling and a run log. Webhooks are signed, retried with backoff and templated per event.
Discussion on the card
Markdown, threads and replies, emoji reactions, @mentions with autocomplete, code blocks, image previews, full edit history and live typing indicators — where the work is, not in a separate chat.
One answer to "what needs me?"
Assigned work, overdue and due-soon cards, work blocked by an unfinished dependency, reviews, mentions and invitations — each card listed once, under its most urgent reason.
Eight themes, instant switch
Classic and Classic Dark, Glassmorph, Retro, Neumorphism, Mesh Gradient, Pixel and Workcraft. Pure CSS variables, so switching is immediate — and independent of the language you picked.
Extensibility
23 plugins, every one off by default
A plugin contributes settings, screens, automation actions, event listeners and its own English, Russian and German catalogue. Most need no external service and no extra tables — they build their view from data the platform already holds.
Wiki Section
Nested pages, markdown with revision history, server-side search, and two-way links between pages and the cards they describe.
Incidents Section
Reporting takes one sentence. While you type, the queue checks whether the same thing has been reported before — confirm and it becomes another occurrence rather than a second row.
Design Review Card panel
Pin feedback to the pixels it refers to and turn the lot into subtasks. Ticking a subtask resolves its point and the other way round, so the checklist and the image never disagree.
Flow Metrics Report
Cycle time, lead time, throughput, 85th percentile and a cumulative flow diagram, rebuilt from the event store rather than from a snapshot.
Localization
Three languages, all the way down
Not just the interface. Validation errors, notifications and emails are localized on the server too, resolved from user preference, then project override, then company default, then Accept-Language. Dates, numbers, the first day of the week and pluralization follow the active locale — including Russian one/few/many.

A fourth language needs no code: translation overrides can be added at runtime, and user-generated names — projects, stages, tags, custom fields, milestones — can be translated too.
