- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.9Calendar events
- Settings > Appearance > Calendar Events shows the events from your Calendar app at the top of Today and on the Calendar, read-only. Off until you turn it on; pick which calendars to show
Voice notes and photos
- Record Voice Note in the note editor and in the Attachments section saves a recording as an attachment. Tap its card to play it
- Take Photo now appears for note images and attachments, not just the cover image
Your own fonts
- Settings > Typography > Custom Font lets you pick any font installed on the device for note text. The Text Font choice (System, Serif, Rounded) now also applies to notes written before you changed it
Smart lists by column
- Custom smart lists gain a Columns filter that matches column names across every board, so "everything In Process" works no matter which project the task is on. Include or Exclude, like Projects
Shortcuts
- Add Task and Edit Task gain Start Date, Start Time, Start Date & Time, and Alert at Start (Edit Task also Clear Start Date), and the Task variable exposes Start Date
Link to File
- Choosing a file from Files or iCloud Drive now asks Copy into Task or Link to File. A link opens the current version of the file, on iPhone and iPad in the Files app, so edits made elsewhere are never missed
Fixes
- A large Apple Pencil drawing could stop a task syncing with "CKErrorDomain error 2" until it was deleted. Drawings are now sized to fit the sync limit, and Settings > Sync says which item failed and why
- Mac: a text color chosen from the system Colors panel (right-click > Font > Show Colors) is kept when the note is reopened
- Mac: scrolling a long column back to the top no longer stalls the app while link counts are read
- iPhone: pinch to zoom works while a task is open, and in the full-screen note editor… more - 📈Kan Do: Project Management entered the top 10Top Paid · Productivity · NL
- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.8Pinch to zoom
- Pinch anywhere on iPhone and iPad to zoom the whole interface in or out. A small "Zoom" pill shows the level with a Reset button, and Settings > Typography > Layout has a matching Zoom slider
Export as JSON or PDF
- Export a project, a column with its tasks, or a single task as a readable JSON file or a PDF. Right-click or press and hold a project (Export), a column header (Export Column), or a task (Export Task). The JSON is plain and easy for an AI assistant to read
Fixes
- Sidebar project, tag, and smart list icons keep their own color while selected on iPhone and iPad
- Fixed a crash at launch on the Mac when sidebar pins arriving from iCloud differed from the ones on the device
- Apple Watch: the Inbox no longer shows tasks that have a start or due date, matching the iPhone
- AI assistants (MCP): completing a task now moves it to the Archive when Settings > Task Completion (or the project's own setting) says Move to Archive, just like completing it in the app… more - 🆕Kan Do: Project Management: its developer released another app: Lookout: TV Dashboard
- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.7Notes
- Tapping an attachment card in a note opens it in Quick Look again on iPhone and iPad. In a note scrolled down from the top, a tap only placed the cursor beside the card - ✏️Kan Do: Project Management: new iPad screenshots· 11 countries

- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.6iPhone Duo
- Kan Do is Made for iPhone Duo. Open it flat for the full iPad layout, or hold it like a book for a column on each page
- With a task open while the Duo is held like a book, the bar keeps the board's name; it showed a pair of stray marks instead
- Opening and closing iPhone Duo softens the screen while the hinge is moving, the way the Home Screen does, instead of cutting between the closed and open layouts
Sync and new devices
- Installing Kan Do on a second device no longer leaves you with two of everything. A fresh install now waits for iCloud to bring down your existing boards before it adds the sample Work space, and it asks iCloud directly instead of relying on iCloud Drive, so a Mac with iCloud Drive turned off waits too (tester)
- If a duplicate sample board, Ideas tag, or Inbox card did slip in, the copy you have been using is the one that stays, and the untouched copy is removed on its own. That cleanup now runs for a month after an install instead of a week (tester)… more - 📈Kan Do: Project Management entered the top 10Top Paid · Productivity · US

iPhone Duo
- Opening and closing iPhone Duo softens the screen while the hinge is moving, the way the Home Screen does, instead of cutting between the closed and open layouts. Holding the Duo part way open keeps everything sharp… more - 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.4Task details
- On the Mac, Settings ▸ General ▸ Always Show Task Details keeps the task's priority, dates, tags, links, and the rest open in a column to the right of the note every time a task opens, so there is nothing to open first (tester request)
- On the Mac, ⌥⌘I (Task ▸ Edit Task Details…) opens the task's details from the keyboard (tester request)
- ⌘I from the Task menu works again while a task is open; Italic keeps ⌘I while you are typing in a note (tester)
Notes editor
- A PDF attached to a note shows its first page in the note, the way pictures do (Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Images in Notes ▸ Larger Previews). PDFs attached before this update keep their file card until attached again (tester request)
- A selected attachment card wears an accent frame, so it is clear which card is selected (tester request)
- A card dragged to another spot in its own note moves there instead of leaving a duplicate behind (tester)
- Text typed after a link, or on the line after one, no longer comes out in the link's blue (tester)
- Typing a parenthesis and a space after an area code no longer turns a phone number into a numbered list (tester)
- Text typed beside an attachment card is the note's normal size again (tester)
- On iPhone and iPad, cut, copy, and paste keep links and attachment cards inside Kan Do, and copied text carries its links into other apps (tester)
- A margin under the note keeps the last lines clear of the bottom edge and the close button while you type (tester request)
- Attachments up to 200 MB can be added in the app; the share sheet keeps its 75 MB limit
Boards
- On iPhone and iPad, tapping Add task while a task is open closes that task and clears its highlight. After Return, the new task is the highlighted one, and on iPad it opens. The column scrolls once (tester)
- On the Mac, opening and closing the task pane and scrolling sideways between columns are smoother (tester, M1 MacBook Pro)
- On iPad in portrait, the board's name no longer runs under the open task pane
Moving and selecting
- Moving several tasks at once shows "Moved 12 tasks to Project ▸ Column" with Undo; ⌘Z on the Mac undoes it too (tester)
- The Move to menus keep the app's order on iPad; they read backwards when the menu opened upward (tester)
- Select in the Inbox and in project lists uses Kan Do's own selection circle, so selected rows no longer look completed. Selecting several rows closes the open task, and swiping the pane away clears the row highlight (tester)
Recently Deleted
- Restore puts a task whose column has been deleted or archived into the Inbox, where you can see it. Deleting a column now files its tasks in Recently Deleted first (tester)
Links
- On the Mac, Edit Link… and Remove Link appear in the right-click menu when part of a link is selected and the click lands beside the selection… more - 🆕Kan Do: Project Management: its developer released another app: HomePad: Elegant Home Control
- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.3Boards
- Collapse a column from its menu. A collapsed column folds to about a third of its width and keeps its name, icon, and count readable; tap it to expand. Cards dropped on it land at the bottom
- Collapsing more columns stacks them in that one strip, top to bottom in board order: two split it in half, three in thirds. Each block expands, drops, and opens its menu on its own
Sidebar
- Pin to Top on any project, smart list, or tag keeps it in a Pinned group above the tree, on every device (tester request)
- Add Divider Above on a space, project, smart list, or tag draws a line, or a blank gap, above it. Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Sidebar Appearance ▸ Divider Style picks which (tester request)
- Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Sidebar Appearance can hide the Spaces, Smart Lists, and Tags titles and the fold chevron on space rows; tapping a space still folds it (tester request)
Built-in lists
- Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Flagged, and Calendar can be renamed, re-iconed, and recolored: Customize… in a list's menu, or Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Built-in Lists. Reset to Default puts the stock look back. Widgets follow the custom look (tester request)
Links
- Copy Link on a project, a built-in list, or a custom smart list copies a kando:// link that opens it from any other app or note (tester request)
- On iPhone and iPad, selecting text inside a link offers Edit Link… and Remove Link, and so does a long press on a link. A selection spanning several links offers Remove Links. On the Mac the right-click menu offers the same when the cursor or selection sits in a link
Fixes
- A task could open and then refuse to scroll or accept typing on iPhone. The link pencil was re-measured on every scroll frame while the note was not being edited, rebuilding the editor continuously; notes with very long paragraphs also lay out much faster
- A TestFlight iPad was shut down by iOS while opening the database during a prewarmed background launch. Kan Do now waits until it is on screen to open your data in that case… more - 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.2Smart lists
- New Status filter in the smart list editor: Completed or Archived turns a list into a record of finished work, for a status report or a performance review. The other filters narrow it as usual (tester request)
- Completion Date joins Sort By everywhere, with Earliest First and Latest First
- A Completed or Archived list opens newest completion first, and each row shows when the task was completed
- Swipe an archived task in such a list to Unarchive it
- Widgets showing a Completed or Archived list show the same finished tasks… more - 📈Kan Do: Project Management entered the top 10Top Paid · Productivity · TH
- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6.1Subtasks
- The subtasks list in a task now folds away: tap the arrow at the right end of the Add Subtask row to hide it. The Subtasks pill in the header brings it back
Settings
- New About tab: the app icon, version and build number, and links to kandotasks.app for questions, feedback, guides, and release notes
Notes editor
- Checking off a to-do on iPhone no longer brings up the keyboard (tester report)
- A numbered or bulleted item whose first word is one long unbroken run (a URL, a pasted token) now wraps beside its number instead of dropping below it (tester report)
- Reopening a note no longer pushes a short numbered list a digit to the right until the first edit snaps it back (tester report)
- The link pencil on iPhone and iPad keeps its place beside the link after the keyboard or header moves the note (tester report)… more - 🆕Kan Do: Project Management: its developer released another app: Captioner: Quick Add Captions
- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.6iPhone Duo
- Kan Do is built for iPhone Duo. Held open like a book, the board puts one column on each page with the crease between them; with the sidebar showing, the sidebar fills the left page and the board the right
- A task open on the closed screen stays open when you unfold, and an open pane stays open when you fold
iPad
- The full-screen note button and the Drawing tool are back in the task pane (tester report)
Mac
- Fixed rows in Today and other lists overlapping after the task pane opened (tester report)
Boards
- Settings > New Board Columns: list the columns every new board should start with, such as Backlog, Active, Done (tester request)
Widgets
- A project widget can show only the columns you choose: edit the widget and pick them under Columns. Its + adds to the first chosen column (tester request)… more - 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.5.3Mac
- Fixed: clicking a card on a board could leave Kan Do unresponsive, with icons missing and projects that would not open, until it was quit and reopened
- Fixed a crash that could happen while the window was redrawing… more - 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.5.2Recently Deleted
- Deleted tasks are now kept for 30 days in Recently Deleted (archive box at the top of the sidebar), with their subtasks and attachments. Tap Restore to put one back where it was. It is kept on the device where the task was deleted
- Undo after deleting a task now also brings back its subtasks and attachments
Backups
- Export All (in the + menu, and File on the Mac) saves everything to a folder: every project, your Inbox, and the pictures and files in notes
- Export Space, in a space's menu, does the same for one space
- Import now accepts a backup folder, or several project files at once. Everything is added as new copies; nothing is replaced
- On the Mac, the File menu now explains when Kan Do needs a restart instead of doing nothing
Tags
- Fixed: a tag created from a task's menu (Add Tag > New Tag...) went back to "New Tag" after closing the app, on all devices. If yours reverted, rename each one once: press and hold or right-click the tag in the sidebar > Edit Tag
Links in Notes
- One link window everywhere: the Link button, Cmd-K, and the menu on selected text. With the cursor in a link it becomes Edit Link, with Remove Link
- Mac: right-click a link for Edit Link... and Remove Link. The floating pencil is gone on the Mac; iPhone and iPad keep it
- Mac: link changes can be undone with Cmd-Z
Archive
- Empty Archive (archive box at the top of the sidebar) deletes all archived tasks at once. They go to Recently Deleted first
- Settings > General > Delete Archived Tasks can clear them automatically after 30 days, 90 days, or a year. Off by default
Mac
- Fixed: Cmd-Delete in an empty text box (such as the link window) could delete the open task. It now only deletes a task from that task's own blank title or note… more - 📦Kan Do: Project Management: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months
- 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.5.1Task Note
- Complete a task from its note: a circle in the top-right of the header, in line with the title, checks it off. The note stays open, and the task completes when you close it, staying on the board or going to the archive per your Task Completion setting
Subtasks
- Subtasks now show automatically when a task has them, instead of hiding behind the Subtasks pill
- Long subtask lists scroll inside the task, so every subtask can be reached on iPhone and the note stays in view
Dates
- Type the date instead of tapping through the calendar: a "Type a date" field sits under the date picker in Task Details and at the top of the Due Date sheet. Try tomorrow, fri 3pm, next friday, oct 12, in 2 weeks, or 3/14. A time in the phrase turns Set Time on with it
Boards
- New Settings > General > Unsorted Column option: keep the Unsorted column on the far right (default) or move it to the far left of every board
Widgets
- A widget showing a board now lists its tasks under the column names in board order, like the sections in the Reminders widget. The small widget stays a flat list
- Today, Upcoming, and date-based smart list widgets now include subtasks with a due date, with the parent task's name beside each one. Tap a subtask row to open its parent
Stability
- Fixed the crash where iOS closed Kan Do while it was waking up for a sync or refreshing after one
- Mac: lines below the cursor no longer disappear after an edit that moves them, such as pressing Return at the front of a line
- Mac: if the app ever stops responding to typing or clicks until you quit and reopen, Settings > Sync > Diagnostics now records the cause so you can send it along… more - 📦Kan Do: Project Management updated to version 1.5Reminders
- New snooze buttons on task reminders: Snooze 1 Hour and Snooze Until Tonight (6 PM). Both bring the reminder back later without touching the task, so repeating tasks keep their schedule
Widgets
- New Widget Text Size slider in Settings ▸ Typography (80% to 160%)
- Widget text follows your iPhone's text size setting, including accessibility sizes
Board
- New Task is now the first button in the toolbar on every platform, replacing the floating + circle. The List / Kanban toggle moved into the Project Settings menu (renamed from Project Info)
- New in Settings ▸ General: Tapping Blank Column Space. Dismiss Current Note (the default) closes the open task; Create New Task adds a card at the bottom of that column and opens it
- iPhone and iPad: the Add Task field no longer sits inside a faint lighter box
- Tapping the open card again closes its pane; selecting several cards closes it too. When the pane would cover the selected card, the board scrolls that column into view
- ⌘⌫ deletes a just-created task that is still empty
- A task added by clicking empty space under a Manual-sorted smart list lands at the bottom
Mac (macOS 27)
- Dragging cards works from the moment the app opens; dragging a column by its title works again on boards with an archived column
- Selecting several lines in a note highlights them as one block again
- Drag an attachment card out of a note to Finder, another note, or Mail. A click selects the card; a double-click still opens it
Notes
- Default Text Style now applies right away, even with a note open
- Copy Link: right-click (Mac) or press and hold (iPhone/iPad) any task link
- Return with the cursor in front of a list number, bullet, or checkbox no longer stacks a second marker; an empty item opens above instead
- Checklist lines no longer vanish while typing on the Mac, and text below a dropped picture no longer draws over itself
- Type "[]" and a space to start a to-do; "[x]" starts one already checked off
- Move to-dos to subtasks: select checklist lines and choose Move to Subtasks. A subtask's menu offers Move to Note and Move All Subtasks to Note
- The picture button asks Photo Library, Choose File…, or Use Clipboard
- Dragging an image or file into a note drops it where the pointer is
- Cut, copy, and paste work on attachment cards on the Mac
- Backspace at the start of a list line joins it cleanly to the line above; a checklist or quote replaces a bullet instead of stacking
Task Details
- Add Cover Image offers Photo Library, Choose File, and Use Clipboard right from the details sheet
- Set Time toggles for Start Date and Due Date. A new due date starts as just the day
Share Sheet
- Long shared text goes into the note in full, with the opening words as the title
Opening Your Data
- A lock file carried over by a backup restore or new-phone transfer could leave Kan Do stuck on "Opening Your Data" with "system error 5". Kan Do now repairs that file itself
iPhone Duo
- Kan Do is ready for iPhone Duo: the closed screen gets its own layout with controls in the side rail, and the open screen gets the iPad layout with the sidebar and two full columns
- Column Width, drawing, full-screen notes, and the taller keyboard panel follow screen width instead of device type
AI Assistants (MCP)
- Settings ▸ AI Assistants (MCP) now covers any assistant that supports MCP, with setup steps for several popular ones
- New connector tools: search tasks by title, tag, project, column, or note text; edit spaces, projects, and columns; delete a column… more - 🆕Kan Do: Project Management first spotted by AppInsider#46 in Top Paid · Productivity · United Kingdom

Latest updates
1.7
Today
- Board Layout: Today's Sort and Filter menu can lay the day out as a board, one column per project plus a Calendar column for the day's events
- Day Ends At: Settings > Appearance > Day Ends At keeps today's tasks in Today until an early-morning hour (up to 6 AM) instead of marking them overdue at midnight
Alarms
- New Alarm toggle under Alert When Due (iPhone and iPad): the task rings as a full-screen system alarm with Stop and Open buttons, even in a Focus. iOS asks for permission the first time
Calendar
- New Scheduled view beside Week and Month: an agenda of everything dated, grouped by day, Overdue first. Calendar Opens In can start there
Repeating tasks
- New After Completion option in the Repeat menu: the next occurrence is counted from the day you finish the task, not from its due date
Comments
- Every task can have a Comments section under the subtasks and above the note: dated entries with Created and Completed lines. Type in Add a comment and press Return; right-click or press and hold an entry to edit, copy, or delete it (swipe on iPhone and iPad). Comments sync, come along in JSON and PDF exports, and the AI connector has an add_update tool
- Off until you turn it on: Settings > Appearance > Task Comments shows the section in every task
- Mac: showing a task's comments for the first time no longer makes the note jump down and back
- iPhone and iPad: the comment you are typing is visible as you type it
Smart lists
- New Start Date filter for custom smart lists: Has Start Date, No Start Date, Started (today or earlier), Not Started Yet, and Starts Today. A task added from a Started list starts today
Shortcuts
- Get Tasks can find tasks by Tags or Tag Names, with Match All Tags to require every one
- New Add Column action creates a column in a project; Reuse Existing returns the one already there instead of a duplicate
- Add Task and Edit Task take a Column Name as text, so a column from a variable drops straight in
- Mac: Open Project and Open Task now go where they say, even when Kan Do is already in front or just launched
- Every action and field carries a description, so Siri and Shortcuts offer the right action and ask for the right value
- New guide: Managing Projects with Shortcuts
Reminders
- Subtask reminders follow the parent task's Alert Until Done and repeat until the subtask is checked off
- Snoozing a subtask reminder brings back the subtask's reminder, so Mark Done checks off the right thing. Snooze Until Tomorrow moves only the subtask's due date
Sidebar
- Settings > Appearance > Show Task Counts for Projects puts each project's open-task count at the right of its row
Notes
- Checklists use the same hanging indent as numbered lists, so wrapped lines stay under the first line's text
- A web address pasted onto a checklist line keeps its lowercase start, so it is recognized as a link
- Tab and Shift-Tab nest checklist lines like bullets and numbers
Today
- Completing a task now takes its dated subtasks out of Today and Upcoming with it
1.6.9
Calendar events
- Settings > Appearance > Calendar Events shows the events from your Calendar app at the top of Today and on the Calendar, read-only. Off until you turn it on; pick which calendars to show

- Take Photo now appears for note images and attachments, not just the cover image
Your own fonts
- Settings > Typography > Custom Font lets you pick any font installed on the device for note text. The Text Font choice (System, Serif, Rounded) now also applies to notes written before you changed it
Smart lists by column
- Custom smart lists gain a Columns filter that matches column names across every board, so "everything In Process" works no matter which project the task is on. Include or Exclude, like Projects
Shortcuts
- Add Task and Edit Task gain Start Date, Start Time, Start Date & Time, and Alert at Start (Edit Task also Clear Start Date), and the Task variable exposes Start Date

- Choosing a file from Files or iCloud Drive now asks Copy into Task or Link to File. A link opens the current version of the file, on iPhone and iPad in the Files app, so edits made elsewhere are never missed
Fixes
- A large Apple Pencil drawing could stop a task syncing with "CKErrorDomain error 2" until it was deleted. Drawings are now sized to fit the sync limit, and Settings > Sync says which item failed and why
- Mac: a text color chosen from the system Colors panel (right-click > Font > Show Colors) is kept when the note is reopened
- Mac: scrolling a long column back to the top no longer stalls the app while link counts are read
- iPhone: pinch to zoom works while a task is open, and in the full-screen note editor
1.6.8
Pinch to zoom
- Pinch anywhere on iPhone and iPad to zoom the whole interface in or out. A small "Zoom" pill shows the level with a Reset button, and Settings > Typography > Layout has a matching Zoom slider
Export as JSON or PDF
- Export a project, a column with its tasks, or a single task as a readable JSON file or a PDF. Right-click or press and hold a project (Export), a column header (Export Column), or a task (Export Task). The JSON is plain and easy for an AI assistant to read
Fixes
- Sidebar project, tag, and smart list icons keep their own color while selected on iPhone and iPad
- Fixed a crash at launch on the Mac when sidebar pins arriving from iCloud differed from the ones on the device
- Apple Watch: the Inbox no longer shows tasks that have a start or due date, matching the iPhone
- AI assistants (MCP): completing a task now moves it to the Archive when Settings > Task Completion (or the project's own setting) says Move to Archive, just like completing it in the app
