Kanso: a dark window with a sidebar of projects and three columns — Backlog, In Progress, Done — holding a few prioritized task cards.

Local

Everything lives in one SQLite file in ~/Library. Back it up, move it, or open it with anything that reads SQL.

Quick

⌘K finds anything. ⌥Space adds a task from any app. Drag cards; everything saves as you go.

Agents

One click installs kanso for Claude Code and Codex. They take tasks, comment as they work, and close them out.
