Kanvly is one calm, all-in-one workspace where your notes, docs, boards, sheets, slides, and calendar live together, with an AI assistant that actually does the work. Plan the launch, write the doc, build the deck, and track the tasks in one place, instead of switching between five apps and losing the thinking in between. Kanvly brings the pieces of a workspace together: the board that shows what is moving, the note that explains why, the calendar event that gives it a date, and the AI that turns scattered context into clear next steps. Use it for the everyday work between big strategy and small tasks: planning a launch, reviewing a client project, preparing a meeting, following up on blockers, or turning messy notes into a plan the team can act on. WRITE, notes, docs, and pages Capture meeting notes, decisions, research, and planning docs, or let Kanvly AI draft and format them for you. Add checklists, tables, and images, and keep every page close to the boards and cards it supports so context never disappears after a meeting or chat. PLAN, boards, tasks, and calendar Build kanban boards for launches, product work, client projects, operations, bug triage, and weekly planning. Organize with lists and cards, due dates, checklists, assignees, labels, and comments. Then see it all on the calendar: deadlines, reminders, focus blocks, meetings, and launch dates, so you always know what is due and how soon. BUILD, sheets and AI slides Work with spreadsheets for trackers, budgets, and simple data, with formulas and formatting. And create presentations in seconds: describe a topic and Kanvly AI designs a full slide deck you can edit and share. Kanvly AI Ask Kanvly AI to summarize your workspace, draft next steps, review a note, prepare a plan, or write a doc or deck from a single sentence. When AI suggests changes, you review them before anything is applied. Kanvly is built around reviewable actions, not hidden automation, so the assistant helps without taking control away from you. Connected context Link notes, boards, cards, and calendar events so planning and documentation stay together. Use Kanvly as one workspace for decisions, execution, follow-up, and review, instead of a place where tasks and notes drift apart. Made for iPhone and iPad Focused mobile layouts, a native iPad sidebar, dark mode, local reminders for due dates and events, a guest preview mode, and in-app privacy controls including account deletion. Move from a quick phone check-in to a full iPad planning session without changing how your workspace is organized. Built for teams Shared workspaces, members, and roles, plus one-tap public sharing for any note, board, sheet, or deck. Kanvly works for product teams, founders, studios, agencies, operations, client services, and any team that wants one place for planning, delivery, notes, and review. Start free on iPhone, iPad, and the web. Upgrade any time for more workspaces, members, and AI. Kanvly is operated by Decods LLC.
