What's New in Karavan
1.11.0
November 4, 2026
What's New in Karavan 1.11.0 Task IDs & Links • Task IDs: Want a way to point at one exact task? Every task now has a short ID, shown on its card and in its details. Tap it to copy, or use Copy Link for a Karavan link that opens the task straight away. • Your Board, Your Way: Each board decides whether its cards show their IDs. Boards • Board Backgrounds: Give each board its own look: a gradient, a symbol or your own photo, in the board's own color. Templates and the New Board wizard offer them from the start. • Move Tasks Between Boards: Filed a task in the wrong place? Pick another project or board right in its details, and it moves there when you save. • Lane Notes: Add a short note to a lane, like its purpose or a reminder. It shows right in the lane header. On iPhone, touch and hold a lane and choose Edit Note… to write one. • Sensible Defaults: Choose where new tasks land: a default lane, a default column and a default task type for each lane. • Filter by Quadrant: Narrow a board down to the tasks in one quadrant of the Matrix View, or to tasks you haven't placed yet. • Compact Cards: Need to see more at once? On iPad, switch a lane or a column to compact single-line cards. Your iPhone shows them too. • Tidier Lanes on iPad: When a cell overflows, it shows the first few cards and folds the rest into one summary card. A collapsed lane still shows how many tasks are in each column. • Faster Boards: Boards open noticeably faster, and large boards no longer slow down each time a change syncs in from iCloud. General • Board Order: Boards in the project list follow the project's sort mode. In Manual order, tap Edit and drag them wherever you like. • Default Priority: Do most of your tasks start out at the same priority? Set it once in Settings › General, and new tasks begin there. • Appearance: Pick light, dark, or follow the system, right in Settings. • iCloud Storage Full: When iCloud sync stops because your iCloud storage is full, Karavan now tells you, instead of failing silently. Fixed • Fixed: Picking another project or board from the menus at the top of a board now opens it, instead of leaving you on the current board. • Fixed: Menus show their icons again on iOS 27. • Fixed: Cards with the same position no longer swap places after a sync. • Fixed: A task without a lane can now get one from its details. • Fixed: The quick-action icons at the end of each Up Next row now line up from row to row.
