## What is Boards?

Visualize your projects and tasks and track their path to completion: Boards is a new Kanban app to boost your productivity for your projects.

SIMPLE PRICING / NO SUBSCRIPTIONS: Boards is a single universal purchase covering all devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). It includes new feature updates for one year and lifetime bugfix and iOS/macOS compatibility updates.

Includes: 

• iPhone app
• iPad app
• Mac app
• iCloud sync

Features:

Collect your thoughts & ideas, plan your week, or just keep a board with links to your favorite recipes, the possibilities are endless.

Each board can hold multiple lists. Each list can contain task cards, list items, or notes. You can further organize lists with subheadings to create sections within lists.

Capture the outcome of a task, instead of merely crossing off a to do:
Each entry on a board can have a dedicated cover image, a link, as well as notes. This makes it easy to record the results of a phone call or to keep meeting minutes.

Implement your own workflow:

Each list can represent a step in your workflow. By dragging an item from list to list, you see how it progresses towards completion. For example, track which tasks are still in the backlog, which are in progress, blocked, and completed. Or plan a party and keep track of invitations sent and replies yet to be received.

Bonus: Local First Software

• Works Offline, no Internet connection required. Everything is saved on your device. You have full control over your data. 

• Open and accessible file format: each “board” file can be opened even without having the app installed so that you can always access your data (each *.board file is simply a ZIP archive). 


No risk, try before you buy: 

You can download and try Boards for free for all devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). All features are unlocked from the start, but boards are limited to 20 entries each. Once you a ready, you can buy Boards from within the app with a single In-App purchase covering all devices.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-03-15*

Kann ich nur empfehlen. Verwalte damit Listen, im Kanban-Style. Synchronisiert auch mit dem Mac.

### 1/5 — Störend, nicht hilfreich…

*2025-10-21*

Zu wenig Einfluss auf die Eingaben, zuviele Bugs. Die App ist auf niedrigem Niveau, die Fehler führen ein permanentes Eigenleben. Hätte das Geld besser für ein Tierheim gespendet!

### 5/5 — Great for Neurodiversity

*2025-04-21*

If you are an image thinker - this is simple and easy to use. I use this to plan all sorts of things. No notifications or complexity like in other apps. 

No complaints, really.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-03-20*

I deleted Trello, which I was using as planning ideas board. This does the same thing. Simple is sophisticated.

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2025-01-01*

Boards is so instinctive to use. I seperated my Office Board and my Personal Board and started to Brain dump. i am using a KanBan type boards and am enjying the simplicity of Boards in setting up this organizational method!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it's supposed to

*2024-09-06*

You want a simple personal Kanban board? Here you go!

### 5/5 — perfect!

*2024-08-10*

just what I was looking for

### 3/5 — Great App, but…

*2024-03-12*

.. where’s the annual paid update?

If you ask users to pay for updates, do have the basic decency to actually provide them, eh?

Poor show, for what ‘is’ in reality, a 5 star app!

I must be no less than 100% honest with you, developers, and convey not only deep disappointment, but seriously angry thoughts. 

You happily guzzle up the money people pay for the app, but cannot be bothered to provide the service YOU promised! How dare you! How very!

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2023-10-14*

Elegantly simple in design and cloud sharing method seems reliable and rock solid. 

Good balance between simplicity and just enough features to not be over complicated.

### 3/5 — Simple and straight forward but...

*2023-10-05*

This app is simple and straight forward and allows you to create Groups, and items within groups and then easily move those items between groups in a very "Kanban" style.  While I appreciate the simplicity of the application I do wish that for the cost, it would include some additional features which I would consider "basic" to this type of application.  The number one feature I would like to see added is the ability to create dependences between items.  Example, you can not paint your house without first purchasing the needed supplies (paint, brushed, masking tape, painters tarp, etc.).  The second feature I would like to see added is the ability to control the exact placement of the groups on the page and to have some level of control over sizing.
