Kanbann brings Trello to your Apple Watch. Use it whether or not you have your phone nearby (it can work independently of your watch over Wifi or cellular). Using the app on your watch you can: * Create cards and archive cards * Move cards within and between lists * Append to a card's description * Comment on a card * Create checklists on a card * Create new items on a checklist * Uncheck and check items on a checklist. Updating and creating notes and lists requires a small in-app purchase, with a one week free trial. Create Trello cards using Siri on your watch: "Hey Siri, Create a task Testing 321 in Kanbann". In order to use this you'll need to do two things: Firstly enable Siri support for Kanbann on your *phone*, by saying "Hey Siri, Create a task Testing 321 in Kanbann" and tapping "Yes" (this is a one-time thing). Secondly on your *watch* you need to designate the default list for new cards by swiping down on the main page, going to Settings, and choosing the default board and list. Am I missing something? Let me know at damian@kanbann.com Kanbann is in no way associated with Trello or Atlassian. Terms of use : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
