### 4/5 — Solid improvements since original version

*2026-08-23*

A lot has improved over the last couple of versions. The first-impression bugs I ran into have been addressed, and keyboard shortcuts on the Mac now feel solid. There are still a few edge cases here and there, but I reported the ones I found, and the developer was responsive and said they’d get them fixed. So far, the pace of improvement has been genuinely impressive.

I’m still keeping my current star rating, though. Despite what I can only imagine is a heroic amount of money being sacrificed to the AI-token gods, the app still feels a little vibe coded in places. Things work, then you stumble into some oddly specific corner and think, “Ah. There it is.”

That doesn’t mean I’ve given up on it. Quite the opposite. I keep trying every new version because the developer clearly listens and the app keeps getting better. I just hope some of that impressive development speed gets redirected into polishing, testing, and sanding down the weird little edges.

Maybe it’s me. Maybe it’s the app. Maybe we just need a few more releases before I’m ready to trust it with the good silverware.

Still watching, still updating, and definitely rooting for it.

**Developer response:** Appreciate the support, I'm actually using it on Mac mainly, but I don't delete tasks often so that missing shortcut was a blind spot. Adding lots of keyboard shortcuts in the next version, including deletion, selection, etc!

### 5/5 — Works well :)

*2026-08-23*

Works well :)

### 5/5 — Great App for Project Management

*2026-08-23*

I really like this app. It works well and does what I need it to do. Honestly, it feels like the developer read my mind—I've been using Apple Reminders for project management and it's been lacking in a number of areas. This app provides the functionality I need as a PM to keep track of all my tasks and it allows me to keep all of my information organized in a way that’s most useful for me. The Apple VisionOS version was a nice surprise too. I use it on my Vision Pro and it's pretty convenient. I’m grateful it’s a one-time purchase and not a subscription and I think the price is incredibly reasonable for the functionality you get.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-08-20*

By by Trello, and I won’t use Reminder anymore. So well done! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-15*

It would be great if syncing via NAS were possible at some point. And if Apple Reminders didn't necessarily have to be imported into a project, but could simply be imported into "Inbox." But otherwise, great app.

### 4/5 — Great App - New Tasks Cumbersome on Keyboard

*2026-08-14*

I really like this app. But one major problem exists even after this update today, which is that when you do command N on a Mac, your cursor does not get put into any fields to start typing.  You have to use your mouse and click into the field that you want to type. On any other app, it would put the cursor there so you could immediately start typing and not have to take your hand off the keyboard. Also, as an added bonus to that bug, if you close out of the window without doing anything in it, it creates a new column with an untitled event in it. So then you have to delete that column. I would really love this bug fixed right away so that I can use your app with efficiency, please.

### 2/5 — Not Ready

*2026-08-13*

I’m sorry but this app just isn’t ready for primetime! Constant crashes on the latest update, files won’t sync among devices, creator doesn’t respond to questions or problems. It’s a good concept but it needs to be refined by a PROFESSIONAL coder and NOT Claude Code!

### 5/5 — Good start

*2026-08-13*

I used it. I love it. It’s my first review on an app that I can recall - just want others to see it. It has crashed on me a lot - but when restarted - it didn’t lose any info. I hope it continues to improve!

I need it to organize projects and it does an amazing job at that

### 5/5 — He gets it

*2026-08-12*

Brilliantly pulled together, all the key elements with a UI that give things 3 a run for its money.  Will only get better over the next few weeks as well given the swift updates.

### 3/5 — Great start, but vibe coded edges are very rough

*2026-08-11*

I like the idea of this app and I was sold on trying it after the Mac Power Users episode about it. Almost every gesture or interaction in the app has rough edges that make it clear this was vibe coded. Not saying that’s a death sentence by any means, but it just means the apps need tons more polishing. Things were lagging and breaking for me when trying to just add a new task. I don’t have time to be a beta tester, but I commend Stephen for boldly giving this a shot! I really hope he keeps at it to make it better, I’m rooting for him. I’ll check back in on this app in a few months.

**Developer response:** Appreciate this, and working on the rough edges. V1.2.3 is out now and should be much improved!

- Numbered lists now stay in order automatically when you add, delete, or rearrange lines
- Bigger, easier-to-see bullet points and tighter spacing between numbers and text
- Mark a task done or snooze it until tomorrow right from the notification, no need to open the app. Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch
- New Apple Watch complications: open Kan Do or add a task to your Inbox straight from your watch face
- Large Apple Pencil drawings now save automatically instead of showing a size warning
- New columns show their name, icon, and color immediately

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-21

Draw in Your Notes (iPad)

- New Drawing tool in the note toolbar: sketch with Apple Pencil or your finger using Apple's full pen, marker, and eraser palette
- Drawings save right into the note and sync everywhere, they show as images on iPhone and Mac
- Tap a drawing on iPad to reopen the canvas and keep working on it

Notes & Editing

- Paste a link over selected text to turn that text into a link
- Numbered lists now number correctly: select several lines, apply the list, and they count 1, 2, 3 (and continue from the list above)
- Paste and Match Style pastes plain text in your note's formatting, in the Mac Edit menu, and now on iPhone and iPad with a hardware keyboard
- Return on a to-do line continues the checklist; Return on an empty box ends it
- Clicking into a note without typing no longer marks the task as having a note, and existing "phantom" note icons clean themselves up

Tasks & Boards

- A completely reworked due-date picker: type a date, pick from a month calendar, and optionally add a time
- Tasks set to "Keep on Board" now stay in the Inbox when you check them off, instead of vanishing
- Pick any color for Spaces, Projects, and Columns, a new rainbow swatch opens the system color picker
- Pressing Tab moves Title - Subtitle - Space when creating or editing a task
- Fixed a freeze when using keyboard shortcuts while typing in the "Add task" bar, arrow keys now move your cursor in the field instead of the board selection

Mac

- Window - Main Window brings back the main window after you close it
- The task pane's resize handle now works along its full height, not just near the top
- The sidebar remembers which Spaces and sections you've expanded or collapsed

Shortcuts

- Get Tasks can now filter by Today or Upcoming, matching the app's lists
- Add Task outputs the task it creates, so you can chain it into Open Task, Complete Task, and more
- Add Task's "Open Task After Creating" now really opens the app, and the redundant "Show When Run" toggle is gone

Share Sheet & Control Center

- The share sheet shows a clear "Save to Kan Do" header with Cancel and Done on every platform
- The Control Center New Task button now reliably opens the app, even from a cold start

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-19

Duplicate a task

Right‑click (or long‑press) any task and choose Duplicate. The copy keeps the title, subtitle, notes, links, cover image, tags, due date and reminders, priority, flag, and repeat rule, and lands right below the original. On Mac, ⌘D duplicates the selected task. Undo removes the copy.

A better due‑date picker

Pick Date & Time… in the Due Date menu now opens a compact popup: type a date or click one on the calendar, and check Set Time only when a time matters. Leave it unchecked and the task is due on that day with no time attached.

Smoother boards

Fixed the jerky horizontal scrolling on iOS and Mac — columns no longer snap to the left edge while you swipe.

Control Center

The New Task control now reliably opens Kan Do straight into a fresh Inbox task, whether the app is running or not.

Checklists in notes

In a task's notes, pressing Return on a checkbox line adds a new checkbox; press Return again on an empty box to go back to plain text — just like bullets and numbered lists.

Links to files

The Links section now accepts a path to a file or folder on your Mac (/Users/you/… or ~/…). Click it to reveal the item in Finder.

Smaller things

- Adding a divider places it below the selected task instead of always at the top of the column.
- "Add Tag" is now "Edit Tags" everywhere.
- Task Details moved from ⌘D to ⌘I on Mac to make room for Duplicate.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-18

iCloud sync, rebuilt

- Changes from your other devices now appear in place. No more full-screen refreshes, lost cursor position, or menus closing on you mid-action.
- Edits are saved field-by-field, so a change on one device can no longer quietly overwrite a newer change from another. If two devices edit the same note at once, both versions are kept.
- Reordering tasks now updates only the moved card, so boards stay in the same order everywhere.
- Fixed crashes when a task was deleted remotely while it was open, when using a card's right-click menu, and when the app was suspended in the background on iPhone and iPad.
- The app now recovers gracefully instead of crashing if the database can't be opened, and never starts with an empty board over your data.

Creating tasks

- New: "New Task" in every column's options menu adds a task at the top of the column and puts the cursor straight in the title.
- On iPhone and iPad, the Add task box now adds one task per Done: the keyboard dismisses and you're back on the board.
- Brand-new tasks open with the title ready to type.

Selecting and moving

- Drag any card in a multi-selection and the whole selection moves with it, in order.
- Mac: Shift-click selects a range of cards; Command-click still toggles individual cards.

Icons

- Spaces, projects, and columns can now use any SF Symbol. Thousands of icons, browsable by category (Weather, Nature, Home, Commerce and more) with search across the full set. Your existing suggested picks are still one tap away.

Sidebar and typography

- New sliders in Settings > Typography: Space Size, Project Size, and Project Line Height to tune the sidebar exactly how you like it.
- Projects sit further indented under their space.
- Mac: sidebar rows now fade at the edges and stop above the Select / Archive / Add footer instead of scrolling underneath it. Select is text-sized and the icons slightly larger.

Notes

- If a note can't be saved when you close it (sync conflict, note too large), you're no longer stuck. Choose Keep Editing, Close Anyway (a recovery copy is kept), or Discard.
- The note editor no longer writes an empty note if encoding fails.

Widgets, Watch, Share sheet and Shortcuts

- Widgets and the Share extension read the database safely alongside the app and no longer freeze it during launch.
- Share sheet keeps multiple attachments and no longer duplicates text on retry.
- Shortcuts refuse to create half-built or un-syncable tasks and report why.
- The Spotlight index no longer clears itself if indexing is interrupted.

Fixes

- One Settings item in the Mac app menu (was two).
- One Done button when creating a space, project, or column on Mac (was two).
- No more brief "Nothing here yet" or "0" flashes while data loads. The Tag editor no longer closes itself on open.
- Attachment filenames are sanitized, and oversized attachments are rejected up front so a task never becomes un-syncable.
