Kanso Releases
kan·so 簡素 n. Japanese — simplicity

The elimination of clutter.

Kanso is a kanban board that takes its name seriously. Your projects, three columns each, saved to a single file on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no subscription — just the board.

v0.1.0· macOS 11+· Notarized by Apple
Kanso: a dark window with a sidebar of projects and three columns — Backlog, In Progress, Done — holding a few prioritized task cards.
Local

Everything lives in one SQLite file in ~/Library. Back it up, move it, or open it with anything that reads SQL.

Quick

⌘K opens the command palette. Enter adds a task. Drag cards between stages; everything saves as you go.

Quiet

No notifications, no collaborators, no feed. The board just waits until you come back to it.
