Modern offline Kanban board app for desktop productivity
Desktop Kanban board application built with Tauri and Vue. Create unlimited boards, columns, and tasks with rich-text, tags, and due dates—no internet or account required.

Kanri is a desktop Kanban board application designed for users who value simplicity, privacy, and speed. Built with modern technologies like Tauri and Nuxt, it delivers a clean interface for managing projects using the familiar Kanban methodology—without requiring an internet connection or user account.
Ideal for developers, designers, freelancers, and teams seeking local-first project management, Kanri supports unlimited boards, columns, and tasks. Each task can include rich-text descriptions, sub-tasks, due dates, and color-coded tags. Data is stored locally in JSON format, giving you complete ownership and portability. Customization options include themes, background images, and card colors, while keyboard shortcuts accelerate navigation for power users.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux via direct download or Homebrew (macOS). The project is actively developed under GPL v3, with a roadmap targeting internationalization, reminders, and potential cloud sync post-1.0. Regular backups are recommended during active development.
When teams consider Kanri, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
