Changed my life
I'm a very busy person. I work around 25 hours a week in education, 2-6 hours as a photographer, and am a full time student. My iCloud calendar is stacked, and my next day off is in 3 weeks.
Kan Do is like if a reminders app was made for people like me. I used to have a separate reminder for every step of a project, which cluttered my phone so bad that I started missing reminders and forgetting about meetings.
Kan Do changed that.
I can lay out reminders into columns within larger project folders. I can organize big projects for classes with ease. And there are so many other great features!
In each reminder (or task, as this app calls it), I can add subtasks with independent due dates. I can include notes on tasks and even attach files to them (which is a lifesaver when planning out collaborative projects).
And, best of all, the developer is frequently posting updates and improvements to the app.
If you're a busy person, work in a creative/project based field, or just need to reorganize how you keep track of things, then this app is for you.

New Favorite Project Management App
I am absolutely loving all the features and flexibility of this app. Incredible constant updates and fixes. The only issue I’m having, this has happened with all my task management apps at some time or another, is that when a task notification runs that it’s due, the badge count on the Home Screen doesn’t show until you open the app and then it shows. Not sure if this can be fixed?

Perfect for an AuDHD College Student
So I started using this as I began a new semester of college adding all my assignments in one column then adding separate rows for work needed to do this week as well as in progress and finished assignments for said week and it turns what used to be an overwhelming list of to do’s into a visual checklist of tasks that I can move over as I finish adding to the satisfaction of finishing things off it’s turned from an unsure purchase to an absolute essential that I use every day

Excellent and Useful
I’ve been searching for a good personal Kanban system for some time. I tried SaaS apps (e.g. Trello) but found them a bit clunky and not well integrated with my Mac workflows. I also didn’t need the sharing capabilities of a SaaS. I had been using Things 3, so I tried Kanban View but again found it lacking integration and missing some convenience features. I tried Kanban plug-ins for Obsidian, but they lacked the integration with calendar, reminders, etc., as well as requiring an all-in commitment to Obsidian as a do-all app. Kan Do fits the bill as a well-integrated personal Kanban app. It bears the mark of a developer who uses their own software extensively. I have adopted it as my primary task manager (integrated with Reminders). Well done!

A good option
The integrations and simplicity are very appreciated. It should allow for more time using the app then working to understand it.
One thing I really wanted was task dependencies to reinforce sequences. Cards can be moved before they are ready and the effort to recall why they shouldn't is a task itself. Especially with the subtasks already present, there (optionally) could be a structure and logic layer for greater organization.
Projects with a strict sequence would be better served by options that prevent accidental or mindless advancement IMO. I hope you consider it.
Anyways, love your work and videos.

Great App
Always love his work and love listening to the story behind making it and what it takes to get it on the store. Wonderful product and it works great!
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!
