🪐 Cross-platform, offline-first Kanban board desktop application with a focus on simplicity and user experience. Made with Tauri and Nuxt.js v3

Kanban boards done right. Made with simplicity and user experience in mind, Kanri helps you create kanban boards easily, right from your desktop. No internet connection or account needed!

You can download it for free for Windows, Mac and Linux from the GitHub releases!

✨ Why Kanri?:

• 🏙 Modern - featuring a clean design & new technologies like Tauri
• 👓 Familiar - uses a Kanban board layout (inspired by Trello®)
• 🧾 Offline - saves your data in a local .json file
• 🛠 Customizable - allows for custom themes, background images and card colors
• ⌨ With power users in mind - implements keyboard shortcuts to speed up board navigation

Note: This is a fairly early and untested version, it is advised to make regular JSON exports. Any testers that provide feedback are greatly appreciated.

📋 Roadmap

Long term vision for the project:

• 👷‍♂️ Improve current features and refactor to avoid tech debt
• ➕ Add additional small/mid-sized features with high impact (reminders, sub-tasks, etc.)
• 🚚 Work towards 1.0 release with features from the backlog like internationalization or a widget panel
• 🔍 After 1.0: Possibility of cloud sync backend (hosted by me with possibility of self hosting)

A granular list of priorities can be found in the roadmap in the projects tab of this GitHub repo.

This project is open for any contributions or feature requests, though always keep in mind that I am still a student with limited time and I might not be able to process every request immediately.
