Kanban board
See all your work at a glance. Put tasks on cards, drag them from To do through In progress to Done, and keep several boards for work, home or a project. No account needed: the board stays in your browser. Add a card with + Add card, then drag it to another column with the mouse, or by its grip on a touch screen. The arrow buttons on a card, or Alt and an arrow key, move it with the keyboard. Add, rename, reorder or delete columns, set a WIP limit, search and filter cards, keep several boards and undo any change. Everything is saved in this browser.
How it works
- Press + Add card in a column, enter a title and optionally notes, a colour label, a due date and a priority.
- Drag cards between columns with the mouse or by the grip on a touch screen, or use the arrow buttons and Alt with an arrow key.
- Add, rename, reorder or delete columns, set WIP limits, search and filter, and save the board as JSON, PDF or an image.
Columns, cards and WIP limits
A board starts with To do, In progress and Done, but you can add as many columns as your workflow needs, rename them and move them left or right. Every card shows its colour label, priority and due date, and overdue cards stand out. A WIP limit caps how many cards a column should hold: the counter turns red when there are more, a reminder to finish work before you start something new.
Keyboard, undo and privacy
Everything works without a mouse: the arrow buttons on each card, or Alt and an arrow key, move it up, down or to the next column, and Enter opens it. Undo and Redo step back and forward through every change. Boards are stored in the local storage of this browser only, and Save as JSON makes a backup you can open again on another device.
Frequently asked questions
Where is my board stored?
In the local storage of this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to a server. Use Save as JSON for a backup and Open JSON to load it on another device or browser.
What is a WIP limit?
WIP means work in progress. A WIP limit is the most cards a column should hold. When a column has more, its counter turns red, so you see where work piles up and can finish tasks before starting new ones.
Can I use it on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The board fills the width of the screen and scrolls sideways. Drag a card by its grip, or use the arrow buttons on the card to move it.
