Each button, menu and setting of Mewboard, what it does and where to find it. The pictures are real screenshots of the app.
Nothing found. Try another word, or write to us at support@mewboard.com: we will tell you whether Mewboard can do it.
Create an account in a minute. Sign in with a password or with Google, Apple or Telegram.
Type your name or email and your password, or choose Continue with Google, Continue with Apple or Continue with Telegram. The eye button shows the password you typed.
You stay signed in for 30 days. When you change your password, every other device is signed out. After several wrong passwords the form waits a few minutes before it accepts new attempts, so nobody can guess a password.
Press Create an account, enter your email and a password of at least 8 characters. Your name and the name of your workspace are optional. You get your own workspace on the free plan, and you are its administrator.
Mewboard then sends a confirmation link to your email. It works for 3 days. Resend the email sends a new one. On servers that only accept invited people, the form also asks for an Invitation code.
With Google or Apple, Mewboard finds your account by your confirmed email, or creates a new one. Telegram needs no email at all. To add Telegram to an account you already have, open My account and press Connect Telegram under Sign in with Telegram.
Forgot password? on the sign-in screen sends a link to choose a new password. The link works once and for one hour. The answer looks the same whether or not the address has an account, so nobody can use it to check who is registered.
A sidebar on the left, the page on the right. Everything is one or two clicks away.
The sidebar holds your workspace, the notification bell, your projects and your settings. The page shows the project you opened: its name, search, Filter, Display, New issue, and the tabs Board, List, Timeline, Calendar, Milestones and Overview.
Point at a project in the sidebar and press the three dots. Pin to the top keeps it above everything else. Move to group puts it into a group, and New group… creates one, for example Clients or Internal. The folder button next to the projects heading also creates a group.
Drag projects with the mouse to change their order or to move them between groups. Click a group to fold it. The group menu can rename it, move it up or down, or delete it (its projects stay). Your layout is yours alone, and it follows you to every device.
Every project of the workspace, as Cards, a List or a Timeline. A card shows the status, the start of the description, a progress bar and the dates. Progress is the share of issues that are Done.
Your choice of view, filter and order is remembered in this browser.
A workspace is a separate space with its own projects and people, for example one per client or one for a side project. Click the workspace name at the top of the sidebar to switch, or choose New workspace… to create one. You can be the administrator of up to three workspaces and a member of any number.
Your role is set per workspace: you can be the administrator in one and a viewer in another. Everything you see, including search and notifications, belongs to the workspace that is open.
An administrator sends you an invitation link. Open it while you are signed in, press Join, and the workspace appears in your list with the role the link gives. A link works once and for 14 days. You can leave a workspace later in My account.
Deleted issues and whole projects wait in the trash for 14 days, then they are erased with their comments and files. Restore brings an item back exactly as it was. Delete forever erases it at once, and Empty trash erases everything. The trash is shared by the whole workspace.
Found a bug or have an idea? Send feedback in the sidebar sends a note straight to the Mewboard team, with your name and the page you are on.
Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar. My account is for your profile, password and connected apps. Administrators also see People and Connected apps. Sign out ends the session on this device.
A project holds issues, milestones, files and notes. Each one has a short key that names its issues.
Press New project on the projects page or the plus next to the projects heading in the sidebar. Only the name is required. The key is 1 to 8 letters or digits: WEB turns issues into WEB-1, WEB-2 and so on. Leave it empty and Mewboard makes one from the name. You can also add a description and the start and target dates.
The free plan has up to 5 projects per workspace. Projects in the trash do not count.
Every issue gets a number like WEB-12 that never changes and is never given to another issue, even after the first one is deleted. Each issue has its own link, and each comment has one too. The link button next to the number copies it. People and agents use these numbers to point at the same issue.
The Overview tab is the project's front page: the description with pictures and links, the dates, the project's files and comments about the whole project. Edit changes the name, description and dates. Drop files anywhere on the description to attach them, or press Attach files.
Below are the project's Email and Telegram settings, described under Requests from outside.
Next to the description: Planned, Active, Paused, Completed or Canceled. The status shows on the projects page and works in its filter. A completed or canceled project is never shown as overdue.
A milestone is a goal inside a project, such as a beta or a launch: a name, a description, a target date and a status (Planned, In Progress, Done). The Milestones tab shows each one with a progress bar and its issues. Add issues to a milestone in the issue window, or drag them into its column when the board is grouped by milestone.
Deleting a milestone keeps its issues. They simply have no milestone anymore.
Delete on the overview moves the whole project to the trash with its issues, comments and files. For 14 days you can Restore it from the trash, and everything comes back.
An issue is one piece of work: a title, a description, its details, checklists, files and a conversation.
Press New issue or the C key. Write a title, a description if you like, and choose the status, priority, milestone and dates. Paste or drop pictures and files into the description: they are uploaded with the issue. Ctrl+Enter creates it.
You can also start from the plus at the top of a board column (the issue gets that column's status, priority or milestone) or from a day in the calendar (the issue is due that day).
Clicking an issue opens it over the page you were on. On the left: the number, who created it and when, the title, the description, files, checklists and comments. On the right: its details and Move to trash. Close it with the cross, Esc or a click outside, and you are back where you were. Its details are saved the moment you change them.
Mewboard adds the labels telegram, email and share itself, so you can see where a request came from.
| Status | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| Backlog | Ideas and work for later. New issues start here. | |
| Todo | Planned next. | |
| In Progress | Someone is on it. Its card carries a small pulsing dot. | |
| In Review | Done, waiting for a check. | |
| Done | Finished. Counts towards progress. | |
| Canceled | Not going to happen. Kept for the record. |
| Priority | Order | |
|---|---|---|
| Urgent | First everywhere | |
| High | 2 | |
| Medium | 3 | |
| Low | 4 | |
| No priority | Last. The default. |
A card shows its due date as a small chip: red when it is overdue, amber when it is due today or within two days, and Today or Tomorrow instead of a date. Done and canceled issues are never overdue. The same groups (overdue, today, the next 7 days, later, no date) work in Filter and Display.
Click the description to edit it. It understands bold text, inline code and code blocks, links and pictures. Paste a screenshot or drop a file and it is uploaded and inserted where the cursor is. Video and audio files play right in the text. Save or Ctrl+Enter saves, Esc cancels.
Split an issue into steps. Add checklist creates a named list. Type into Add an item and press Enter for the next one. Tick items as they are done, click any text to change it, and watch the percentage and the bar fill up. Hide checked items keeps long lists short.
An issue can have up to 20 checklists of up to 200 items. The card on the board shows how many items are done, for example 3/5, and turns green when all are.
The conversation sits under the issue, oldest first, with the author and the time. Comments use the same Markdown, and you can attach files with Attach, by pasting or by dropping them. Ctrl+Enter sends. The link button copies a link to that exact comment: opening it scrolls to the comment and highlights it.
Comments made by Claude and other agents look like everyone else's, signed with their name.
Attach files to an issue, a comment or a whole project. Pictures show as square previews, video and audio get a player, and other files a tile with their type. Click a picture to open the viewer: zoom with the mouse wheel or the + and − buttons, drag to move, Fit or 1:1, the arrows for the next picture. Keys: ← →, + −, 0, 1, Esc.
On the free plan a file can be up to 25 MB, and a workspace holds 500 MB.
Move to trash in the issue window, the bar of selected issues or the Delete key sends issues to the trash without asking. A message with Undo stays for a few seconds to bring them back at once. After that they wait in the trash for 14 days.
The issue window updates by itself. If you are typing at that moment, Mewboard does not touch your text: a line at the top says the issue has just changed, with a button to refresh it when you are ready.
The same issues as a board, a list, a timeline or a calendar. Search, filter and display settings work in all of them.
A column per status, with the number of issues at the top. Drag a card to another column to change its status, or up and down to change its place. Columns can also be priorities, people, milestones, due dates or labels (see Display), and dropping a card into such a column sets that value.
A column shows 50 cards at a time, with a button for the rest. On a phone, press and hold a card to drag it.
From the top: the priority, the number, a pulsing dot while the issue is in progress, and the assignee. Then the title. Then the labels, the milestone, the due date, the number of comments and the checklist progress. Display decides which of these you see.
A table grouped by status (or any other grouping), with the number, priority, title, status, milestone, due date and assignee. Click a group heading to fold it. Each group shows 100 rows at a time.
Every issue as a bar from its start date to its due date, coloured by status, with milestones as diamonds and a line for today. Drag a bar to move it, drag its ends to change the start or the due date, or drag along an empty line to give an issue its first dates. Week, Month and Quarter change the scale, Today scrolls back to today.
A month at a glance. Each issue sits on its due date (or its start date when it has no due date). Click a day to see all of its issues below the calendar, and use the plus on a day to create an issue due then. Issues without a date wait in a list under the calendar: drag one onto a day to set its due date.
Search issues finds issues by title and number as you type. The / key jumps into it.
Filter narrows the view by status, priority, assignee, label, milestone and due date. Pick several values in a field to see any of them; fields combine. Every value shows how many issues have it. Active filters stay visible as chips under the tabs, each with a cross to remove it. Filters are remembered per project in this browser.
Select issues with Shift or Ctrl and a click, with X, with Ctrl+A, or by drawing a rectangle on an empty part of the board. A bar appears at the bottom: change Status or Priority of all of them, Copy links, or Move to trash. Dragging one of the selected cards moves them all.
Press ? to see them all. They work on the selected issues, or on the one under the mouse.

What the team and your agents change appears on your screen at once, and the bell keeps the list.
The bell collects what happened in the workspace: new issues, status changes, new comments, issues moved to the trash or restored, whether a person, an agent, Telegram or an email did it. The number on the bell, and in the browser tab, counts what is new for you; your own changes are not counted. Click a line to open that issue or comment. Mark all as read clears the number. Notifications are kept for 45 days.
When someone else moves a card, the board redraws without a reload, the card flashes briefly and a small message says who changed what. Click the message to open the issue. Mewboard never redraws under your hands: not while you drag a card, type, or have a menu open. It catches up a moment later.
A soft two-note sound when someone else moves an issue to In Review, and a short chime when it moves to Done. Your own changes are silent. Turn each one on or off and set the volume in Appearance; the setting belongs to this device.
Clients and colleagues do not need an account to send you work. Their messages become issues by themselves.
On a project's Overview, press Connect Telegram, then Start in the bot that opens. From then on, every message you forward to the bot becomes an issue in that project: text, photos, files, voice messages and videos, up to 20 MB each. An album becomes one issue with all its files. The issue gets the label telegram and the name of the person who wrote the message, and the bot answers with its number.
In the bot, /projects lists your projects, /use KEY switches to another one, and /stop disconnects. The bot answers in the language of your Telegram.
Turn on email gives the project its own address. Send or forward a letter to it and it becomes an issue: the subject is the title, the text is the description, attachments are saved, and the label is email. A reply with the issue number in square brackets in the subject, like [WEB-12], is added to that issue as a comment.
To keep spam out, list the addresses or whole domains that may write. Get a new address replaces the address at once. Automatic replies are ignored, and a project accepts up to 100 letters a day.
Install Mewboard on your phone (see On your phone), and it appears in the Share menu of other apps. Share a note, a link or a message, choose the project, check the title, and it becomes an issue with the label share.
Requests arrive in Backlog like any other issue, so you can sort, assign and answer them in one place.
Agents work on the same issues as people, through MCP. Everything they do is signed and appears live.
In Claude (on the web, the desktop app or the phone), open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector and paste this address:
https://app.mewboard.com/mcp
A Mewboard window opens. Sign in, check what Claude will be allowed to do and press Allow. Claude never sees your password. It works as you, in the workspace that was open when you allowed it, with your role.
Claude Code connects the same way, with its own sign-in:
claude mcp add --transport http mewboard https://app.mewboard.com/mcp
Then type /mcp in Claude Code and sign in to Mewboard in the window that opens.
For agents and scripts that cannot sign in through a browser, create an access key in My account with Create an access key for a program. The key is shown only once. How to use it (for developers) gives the ready command. A key works as you, until you remove it.
An administrator can also add a separate program account, for example "Claude Code", so the agent's work is signed with its own name.
The same as a person with the same role: read and search, create and change projects, issues, milestones, checklists and comments, attach and read files, and move issues to the trash. One call can read an entire issue with its comments and files, pictures included.

Every change an agent makes is recorded under the name of its account and shows up live for the team, like anyone else's. Apps connected to my account lists your connections and keys with the date of their last use. Disconnect or Remove cuts one off at once. Administrators see every connection of the workspace in Connected apps.
Invite your team and your clients, and decide who sees what.

A workspace always keeps at least one administrator, and nobody can lock themselves out.
People lists everyone in the workspace with their role and access. Add a person or a program creates an account at once: a name, a role, an email if you like, and a password. Leave the password empty to create a program, such as an AI assistant, that works only with an access key.
The free plan has up to 5 people per workspace, programs included.
Press All projects next to a member or a viewer to limit them to some projects. They will not see, find or receive notifications from the others, and neither will their agents or their Telegram. Administrators always see everything.
Under Invitation links, choose the role and press Create link. Send the link to someone who already has a Mewboard account: they open it, confirm, and join. Add their email, and Mewboard sends the invitation for you. A link works once and for 14 days; Copy link and Delete are next to it.
Your profile, your password, and a full copy of your work whenever you want it.
Download export gives one ZIP file with all the workspace's people, projects, milestones, issues, checklists and comments in a readable JSON file, and every uploaded file next to it. Passwords and keys are never included.
Delete this workspace… erases all its projects, issues, comments and files at once, and the accounts of the people who are in no other workspace. To be sure, you type the workspace name and your password. Download the export first.

Dates follow the language, and so do the emails Mewboard sends you and the page where you allow Claude. Each person can use their own language in the same workspace.
The same app, laid out for a small screen.
The sidebar hides behind the menu button, the bell stays at the top, and a round plus button creates issues. Swipe the board sideways, press and hold a card to drag it. An issue opens full screen, with its details below the text.
In your phone's browser, choose Add to Home Screen (or Install app on a computer). Mewboard then opens in its own window with its own icon, and it shows up in the Share menu of other apps.
Everything in the app is also an API.
Send an access key as Authorization: Bearer mb_… to https://app.mewboard.com/api. Answers are JSON. Issues are named by their number (WEB-12) or their id everywhere. The key has the same role and access as its owner.
/api/projects | Projects: list, create, change, move to the trash, restore |
/api/issues | Issues, with filters by project, status, person, label and milestone |
/api/comments | Comments of an issue or a project |
/api/issues/WEB-12/checklists | Checklists and their items |
/api/milestones | Milestones |
/api/attachments | Upload a file as the request body; read it from /api/files |
/api/search?q= | Search issues and projects |
/api/trash | The trash |
/api/activity | The notification feed |
/api/events | Live updates as Server-Sent Events |
https://app.mewboard.com/mcp speaks MCP over HTTP. Clients that support OAuth find the sign-in by themselves and register automatically; others send an access key in the Authorization header.
Search finds an issue among a million in about 50 ms. Big projects load in pages, and boards draw 50 cards per column at a time, so a long backlog stays quick.
