Kanodo – Native macOS kanban with multi-window cards and nested subtasks

Summary: Kanodo is a native macOS kanban app built with Swift that opens cards in separate windows for side-by-side task comparison. It supports nested subtasks via mini-boards, organizes projects with workspaces, and provides dashboards for deadline and progress tracking. The app works offline without requiring an account, keeping data local unless explicitly shared.

What it does

Kanodo offers kanban boards where cards open in individual windows instead of modals, allowing users to view multiple tasks simultaneously. Mini-boards inside cards enable nesting subtasks, while workspaces separate projects and dashboards summarize deadlines and progress.

Who it's for

It is designed for macOS users such as freelancers and developers seeking a lightweight, native kanban tool without subscription fees or Electron-based apps.

Why it matters

Kanodo addresses limitations of modal-based kanban apps and non-native tools by providing a fast, offline, and privacy-focused solution tailored to macOS workflows.
