Dashboards, on data you already have
Build charts, grids, kanban boards and dashboards on the same data model your API already runs on, with no second database to keep in sync.
The same task, three ways
Every task works three ways, and all of them change the same project. Here's one: a bar chart of revenue by month, built from your orders.
The Anythink dashboard
Design the chart on screen and drop it onto a dashboard.
The Anythink CLI
A chart is a saved configuration, so you can create it from a script.
$ anythink fetch /charts --method POST --body \'{"name":"Revenue by month","dataSource":"entity","chartType":"column","entityName":"orders","xField":"created_at","xInterval":"month","yField":"total","yAgg":"sum"}'- ✓Chart Revenue by month saved
- ✓Sums orders.total for each month
- ✓Pick it from Add widget → Chart on any dashboard
Claude, through MCP
Describe the chart. It saves the configuration and tells you where to find it.
you › “Make a bar chart of revenue by month from the orders entity, summing the total field.”
- ✓Chart configuration created on orders
- ✓Bar chart: sum of total, grouped by month
- ✓Saved as Revenue by month
- ✓Ready to add from Add widget → Chart

Sourced from each vendor's own docs as of 28 September 2026. Anythink's branding is colours, corner radius, logos and menus, not a fully white-label product.
Internal dashboards on your own data
Charts, cross-entity grids and five ways to view your data, styled with your own colours and logo.
Five chart types, per entity
Bar, pie, line, funnel and cohort charts, each built on a single entity with a field, an aggregation, a timeframe preset and a compare-to-prior-period option.
In practice
A chart, a materialised view, a branded dashboard

What you can build
A revenue dashboard across payments and orders
A materialised view joins your orders entity with subscriptions data, so finance can see revenue per plan without a separate BI pipeline or a hand-written join.
A support queue on Kanban
Switch your tickets entity to Kanban, grouped by status. Agents drag a ticket from Open to In progress to Resolved, and the same records still power your API and workflows.
A branded ops panel for an agency's client
Set the client's colours, logo and corner radius, and configure the menu to show only the entities and dashboards that client's team should see.
