Can I write documents in fenbs?

A task has a note, and the kanban board has AI context notes — short pages an assistant should read before it works. That is all the writing fenbs has room for. Long documents belong in a document tool; link to them from the task.

Can I move my tasks into fenbs?

Yes. Paste a list — one task per line — into Add many and fenbs makes the tasks, with a kind and a lane each. There is no importer for other tools’ export files yet; a pasted list covers what most small kanban boards need.

Does fenbs cost anything to try?

No. Your own board is free with up to 50 open tasks at a time, with no card and no trial clock. Personal is $9.99 a month, or $99.90 a year, with no task limit. A team workspace is free for up to 5 people and 50 open tasks; more needs Team Access at $99.99 a month, or $999.90 a year, however many people join. AI assistants are free on every plan.

fenbs vs Notion: a kanban board that stays a kanban board

Notion can be a kanban board, and a wiki, and a database, and a website. fenbs is only a kanban board. That is the whole difference, and it decides which one you want.

The short answer

Notion is a workspace you build: pages, databases, views, templates. A kanban board in Notion is one of many things a database can be, and it is as good as the person who set it up. fenbs is a kanban board that is already set up and cannot be turned into anything else. If you enjoy building your tools, Notion. If you want the kanban board to be there on day one and identical on day 400, fenbs.

Where Notion is better

Everything else. Notes, docs, wikis, meeting minutes, a company handbook — all next to the tasks, all linked.
Databases with any property you like, and views of the same data as a board, a table, a calendar or a timeline.
Templates and a huge community of them.
Notion AI works across your whole workspace, not only tasks.

Where fenbs is better

It cannot drift. A Notion kanban board slowly gains properties, views and pages until nobody is sure which view is real. A fenbs kanban board has four lanes and three kinds, today and always.
Roles per person on the board, so a client can report bugs without seeing the rest of your workspace.
AI assistants as members. Your Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor connects over MCP, works under your role and signs its changes. Notion’s AI is Notion’s; fenbs lets the assistant you already pay for do the work.
Stable references. FET-014 is a task forever. A Notion page has a long URL and a title that someone will rename.
AI context that travels. The notes an assistant should read before touching your work live on the board, not inside one assistant.

Using both

Plenty of people keep the writing in Notion and the doing in fenbs. A task’s note can link to the Notion page; the kanban board stays a kanban board.

How to decide in ten minutes

Paste this week's real list into a fenbs kanban board with Add many, connect the AI assistant you already use over MCP, and work from it for a few days. If the kanban board is still true at the end of the week, it is doing the job. If you kept reaching for a field Notion has and fenbs does not, that is your answer too, and it is a good one.
