Grouping
The same board, five points of view
Group by bucket, status, priority, due date or label. The cards stay the same — only the columns change meaning.
Features
Everything the app can do
Kanban Planner is a planner for one person: no team, no roles, no sharing. What is left is the machinery that carries the day — built native in SwiftUI, fully usable offline.
From the app
This is how it looks
Screenshots from the running app on iPhone. On iPad and Mac it is the same app, only with more columns side by side.

Board
Columns you cut yourself
One plan, as many buckets as you like, as many cards as you like. Dragging changes more than the position — it changes the field behind it: move a card into “Done” and it closes.
Filter & search
Find instead of scroll
Full-text search across titles, notes and checklists. Filters for label, priority, goal and due date combine freely.
The card
What hangs on a task
| Title & note | What to do, and why |
|---|---|
| Checklist | Up to 20 items, shown on the card if you want |
| Dates | Start and due date, with a local reminder |
| Priority | Urgent, Important, Medium, Low |
| Colour & labels | 25 nameable labels per plan; the colour comes from the bucket |
| Attachments | Links and files, up to 15 per card |
| Goal | Cards count towards one undertaking |
| Recurrence | Ticking one off creates the next |

What the app settles without you
Everything in this section is tinted iris, because the system does it for you. It belongs to Pro.
Week planAutomatic
A week that adds up
Due date, goal, priority and size all go into the sum; the daily capacity is yours to set. Whatever no longer fits slides on — and you can see why.
RecurringAutomatic
Done means: back again
Daily, on weekdays, weekly, monthly, yearly or by a rule of your own. Ticking one off creates the next card in the right bucket.
GitHubAutomatic
Issues land on the board
Add repositories as owner/repo. Open issues and pull requests appear as cards, with the due date taken from the milestone. Read-only — your board stays your board.
Warm = you act, cool = the app acts. That single colour rule runs through the whole app: anything apricot you touched yourself; anything iris took care of itself.
My Day
Empty every morning
A list you fill once in the morning and find empty again at night. The board stays where it is — only the day’s selection is cleared.

Cards that add up to something
A goal gathers cards from across your plans. The progress shows what moves you forward — and what merely kept you busy.

Platform
One app, three devices
The same native app on iPhone, iPad and Mac — one purchase, every device. Syncing runs through your own private iCloud database; there is no account with us, because there is no us in between.
iPad · the same board, more columns in view
Widgets
Home Screen, Lock Screen and Notification Center. The checklist is tappable there: one tap, ticked, done — without opening the app.
Offline
Fully usable with no connection. Changes reconcile as soon as the device is back online — nothing is lost, nothing waits on a server.
Notifications
Due-date reminders are scheduled locally on the device. No push messages travel through anyone else’s servers.
Model Context Protocol
And then there is Claude
The MCP server makes your board workable by Claude Code: read, add, change, tick off, plan the week. Deleting is not among its tools — that stays with you.
Seven days of everything first. Then you decide.
For a week after you install it, every feature is open — Claude included. After that the app carries on in its free tier.
