Structure

Three levels.
Nothing more is needed.

Kanban Planner is a board for one person — no teams, no roles, no sharing. What is left is the machinery that actually carries the day.

Plan
One undertaking, one board

“Projects”, “Household”, “Taxes 2026”. One comes with the free tier; with Pro, as many as you like.

Bucket
Your columns, your rules

Backlog → In progress → Done, or Monday → Tuesday → Wednesday: you name them and you colour them. New cards take on the colour of the bucket they land in.

Card
The task itself

Checklist, dates, priority, colour, labels, attachments. Dragged from column to column — with a finger, with a mouse, or by Claude.

Features

What the app does for you all day

All of it is built native in SwiftUI — no webview, no Electron. It opens at once, it scrolls like iOS, and it works on a plane.

My Day

Empty every morning

You decide once what counts today. The rest stays on the board and keeps out of it. By evening the list is gone — the board is not.

Week planPro

The week lays itself out

Due date, goal, priority and size all count. What comes out is a week that fits into a working day. You correct instead of sort.

GoalsPro

Cards that add up to something

Put cards under a goal and you can see what moves you forward — and what merely kept you busy.

Done means: back again

Daily, weekly, on the last working day of the month. Ticking one off creates the next, in the right bucket.

Issues land on the board

Open issues and pull requests show up as cards. Read-only — your board stays your board.

Tick things off without opening the app

On the Home Screen, on the Lock Screen and in Notification Center. The checklist is not just visible there, it is tappable — one tap, ticked, done.

Model Context Protocol

Claude Code can work your board

Kanban Planner comes with an MCP server of its own. Connect it once and Claude reads and writes straight into your plans. No export, no clipboard, nothing copied out of a chat window. And because it all travels through iCloud, the result is on your iPhone seconds later.

Tools14 available
list_plansRead plans, buckets and their colours
list_cardsFilter cards — by bucket, goal, date or status
create_cardAdd a card, with checklist, date and priority
update_cardChange title, bucket, priority or status
set_checklist_itemTick off single items
create_goalCreate a goal and let cards count towards it
update_bucketRename a bucket or change its colour
plan_weekSpread open tasks across the week

Claude cannot delete. Archiving or removing cards stays with you. An assistant that tidies up is an assistant that loses things.

During code review
Turn the three TODOs in this diff into cards and hang them on the “Version 2.0” goal.

Claude is reading your code anyway. Now it writes down what is still open.

After standup
Push everything that will not happen today to tomorrow — except the release.

One sentence instead of twelve drags. The board then looks the way you planned it.

Sunday evening
Plan my week and tell me what I should drop.

The week plan does the spreading. Claude explains why Thursday does not add up.

Where data lives

Your data makes exactly one journey

Kanban Planner writes to your own private iCloud database. There is no server of ours, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking pixel. We could not read your cards even if we wanted to — there is simply no point along the way where they would pass us.
