What is Kanban Board?

A visual task board with columns you can rename, reorder, and add to. Drag cards between stages like To Do, In Progress, and Done. Your data stays on your device — no account needed, nothing sent to a server.

The board ships with To Do, In Progress, and Done columns, but you can rename them, reorder them, or add as many columns as your workflow needs. Cards support a title, description, colour label, and due date, and you can drag them between columns with mouse, touch, or the keyboard. Everything saves locally.

How to use

1. Step 1 — Create columns to represent your workflow stages (e.g., Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Review, Done). You can rename, reorder, or add new columns anytime.
2. Step 2 — Add task cards to any column. Each card can have a title, description, color label, and due date. Drag cards between columns as tasks progress.
3. Step 3 — Your board auto-saves to localStorage. Export your board as JSON to back it up, or import a previously exported board to restore it.

When to use

• Running a personal weekly task list without signing up for Trello or Notion.
• Tracking a small freelance project across discovery, build, review, and shipped stages.
• Coordinating chores or homework for a single household on a shared device.

Result

A student managing a thesis project creates columns for 'Research', 'Drafting', 'Review', and 'Submitted'. They add cards like 'Literature review' and 'Chapter 3 draft', dragging them through stages as work progresses.

FAQ

Where does my board data live?

Inside your device's localStorage. Closing the tab keeps the board intact, but clearing site data in your browser wipes it. Use Export Board to save a JSON backup before resetting anything.

Can two people edit the same board at once?

No. There's no server, so changes don't sync across devices or users. If you need shared editing, export the JSON and pass it around manually, or use a hosted service like Trello.

How do I move a card to a column that's off screen?

Use the Move Left and Move Right buttons on each card, or scroll horizontally first and then drag. On touch devices, long-press a card to start dragging.

Can I cap how many cards live in one column?

Yes. Click the gear icon in any column header to set a WIP limit. The header counter turns red and a warning badge appears once the column goes over it, so you can spot bottlenecks at a glance. Leave the field blank to remove the limit.

Can I import a board exported from Trello?

Only if you reshape the JSON to match this tool's column-and-card structure. The Import Board feature expects the same format Export Board produces — column id, title, and a list of cards.
