Your Azure DevOps work items and pull requests, in the VS Code sidebar.
Boardpane shows the work items assigned to you and the pull requests waiting on you inside VS Code, Cursor or Windsurf. Sign in with the Microsoft account your editor already has — no Personal Access Token, no config file.
Free, forever
- My Work Items — everything assigned to you that isn't closed, with state and age.
- Pull Requests — every active PR in your project, with your vote shown.
- Change a work item's state, add a comment, copy a branch name like
123-fix-login-bug. - Open anything in the browser in one click.
- Sign in with Microsoft, or paste a PAT if your org blocks that.
Pro — $19 once, yours forever
- Create work items without leaving the editor.
- Review pull requests in VS Code — native diff for every changed file, then approve, comment, reject or complete from the same menu.
What it does not do
Boardpane has no server. It talks only to your own Azure DevOps organisation and, if you enter a licence key, to Polar to check it. No telemetry, no account with us, nothing to cancel. It does not replace the Azure DevOps website — boards, sprints, queries and pipelines still live there.
Why this exists
Microsoft's own "Azure Repos" extension has over a million installs, a 1.9-star rating and has not been updated since 2020. Boardpane is a maintained replacement for the two things people actually used it for: the ticket they're working on and the PR someone is waiting on.
