OMG! This is what I’ve been missing…

From day one, I’ve been a big fan… and within days, I’ve I’d moved away from Apple Reminders. Since then, the app has received several updates a week, adding feature after feature! I seriously love this app!

Kan do

Very laggy on my Mac book pro m5 not good

So well done

I never write reviews but this app is mind blowing for a number of reasons. First, someone finally creates a task app that does so many things so well by blending To-Do with Kanban. I keep thinking, “Where has this app been my whole life.” AND the app creator adds new features super fast. AND the app creator has vibe coded this app. Perhaps he is a genius (quite possible given above notes) but perhaps we are entering a new time in app design and functionality thanks to AI. Try this app!

Just what I was looking for…

And didn’t know it. I’ve tried so many Kanban apps before, and even hosted an open source one on a server, but none of them “stuck”.

Kan Do is just simple but does enough for me, without a bunch of complexity. And it runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone and syncs over iCloud.

Recommended!

Finally!

Finally, an app I can use that suits my workflow. I’ve tried Trello before but Kan Do is so much more user-friendly. The iCloud sync is great, and Stephen is updating the app regularly to fine tune it and get rid of any bugs. He’s a developer who truly cares about the user experience.

Fantastic productivity app!

I’ve been using Kan Do since it was released and would highly recommend this app. I must admit it’s the first time I’ve used a Kan ban style app before but it very much suits how my brain works.
I’ve tried many productivity apps over the years, but I’ve not used one that covers all bases as this one does. The ability to be able to attach photos, files, links and notes to tasks is absolutely amazing. It’s really easy to manage areas and projects and make links between them. It’s also got the ability to set reminders.
I’ve got it working on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook and even the Apple Watch. I believe it’s also available on the Vision Pro. One thing I often struggled with, when using other productivity apps, is adding tasks via the Apple Watch. However, it’s very easy to do this with Kan Do and also easy to choose which area/project you want that task to go into.
I won’t be looking for any other productivity app from now on as this is a fantastic app!

The developer is very helpful and responded incredibly quickly to queries I had. I look forward to downloading any other app Stephen Robles creates.
I would highly recommend this app, not only is it incredibly useful but I’m actually enjoying using it. I’m currently transferring all my reminders, tasks and productivity related app contents into this app. A+!

A fantastic app

This app is brilliant, I can’t wait to see what gets added.

Kan Do; Does Do

A variation on the Kanban visual collaboration system. Kan Do is very easy to set up, and introduce into a workplace, Still some bugs need ironing out though.

Finally, a task app that matches how I think

The kanban layout is the whole reason I bought this, and it delivers. Spaces, projects, and columns I define myself means the structure actually maps to how my brain organizes work instead of forcing me into someone else's system. Cards showing subtitle, tags, priority, and due date at a glance cuts down the amount of clicking I do in a day.

The markdown notes editor on every task is doing more work than I expected. Being able to drop images and file attachments right into a task note means I stop scattering context across three other apps.

Shortcuts actions are a nice bonus.

Worth calling out separately: Stephen has been genuinely responsive to feedback and feature requests. Easy five stars.

I worried at first, but I was proven wrong.

This app has come a long way! Great app! I recommend it.

The app on first release was clunky, laggy but Stephen has been incredibly receptive and hard working. He’s open to features, suggestions and communicative with his audience about his intentions.

Over the course of several updates, the app has now become lightning fast and has incredible syncing. I’m very impressed and I am excited for the future of the app!

Response from developer

Hey Elohnen, appreciate the support! I understand the concern about ongoing support with a vibe coded app. Being an app I personally use daily I plan to maintain for a while, but that's also why I made it a one-time purchase and not a subscription. As far as the performance issues, please use the contact form on my website to share your iOS version and device so I can try and fix that! Same with the settings menu. Appreciate you taking the time to try it.

Solid improvements since original version

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.

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!

Works well :)

Works well :)

Great App for Project Management

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.

Fantastic!

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

Love it

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.

Great App - New Tasks Cumbersome on Keyboard

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.

Not Ready

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!

Good start

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

He gets it

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.

Great start, but vibe coded edges are very rough

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.

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