KanBam brings kanban boards and an idea wall together in one focused app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. START SIMPLE Create a board and get moving with just columns, checkboxes, and clear card titles. Simple mode keeps planning calm and uncluttered. Switch to Pro mode whenever you need more detail. PLAN THE WAY YOU WORK Add labels, priorities, due dates, checklists, assignees, estimates, work-in-progress limits, swimlanes, and filters. Each board can use its own level of detail. CAPTURE IDEAS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR Drop thoughts onto a visual idea wall, add tags, vote, and compare impact with effort. When an idea is ready, turn it into a card while keeping the original context. MOVE QUICKLY Drag cards between columns, use accessible Move commands, or open Quick Add to capture a task with its column, label, priority, and assignee in one line. SYNC AND SHARE WITH ICLOUD Keep boards current across your Apple devices. Share a board by link when you want others to collaborate. Offline changes wait safely and sync when you reconnect.
