Kanodo is a native kanban app built around two unique concepts:

MULTI-WINDOW CARDS
Cards open in their own windows. Open multiple at once, arrange them however you like, compare tasks, or keep important information visible while you work elsewhere. Pin cards to the sidebar for instant access. No more modals blocking your view.

MINI-BOARDS
Cards can contain mini-boards. When a task has multiple steps, break it down right there inside the card. Create columns, add mini-cards, attach checklists, and track progress without cluttering your main board.

Everything else you expect from kanban is here: workspaces, boards, columns, labels, dates, attachments, dashboards, filtering, search and calendar export. All native to your Mac, all stored locally, no account required.
