Kanri

What is Kanri?

Desktop Kanban board app for Windows, macOS and Linux that works offline without an account.

Who is Kanri best for?

Kanri is best for solo makers and students who want Kanban boards on their computer that work offline with no account.

• Personal task boards

  Unlimited boards, columns and cards with rich text descriptions, sub-tasks, due dates and tags.

• Working offline

  Everything stays on your computer, and the maker says cloud sync will never be built in.

• Keyboard users

  Shortcuts move around boards and cards without reaching for the mouse.

• Leaving Trello

  A basic Trello import brings boards across, and full or partial exports make backups.

How much does Kanri cost?

Kanri is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 licence, with no paid plan, account or cloud service; you download it for Windows, macOS or Linux.

Kanri has no paid plan. The macOS app is not signed, so Apple Silicon users run one terminal command after installing before it opens. Full pricing on github.com. We checked these prices on 8 Nov 2026.
