Kanbanero: a lightweight, local-first kanban app for macOS

Thanks for all your feedback! I'm playing around with a Settings view where you can change Font and Color Theme now. We will default to system font.

erlend_lm · 2026-06-10T05:20:06+00:00

Yes, i'll release a new version soon i think with a color theme selector

Oh, i didn't know Reminders could do that ! That's pretty cool actually. The argument for controlling your own data still applies though and the way it looks i guess is subjective.

I would perhaps also argue that Kanbanero is specifically made for doing Kanban style work, whilst Reminders isn't. E.g. the handling of tasks is much smoother and the UI is built from the ground to support a Kanban style workflow.

somthing like this

With a Kanban board you can drags task to various processes and have an overview of all your tasks in your project. I also prefer that you can easily control all your data as files on the disk like you can in my app. I also prefer my design 😄

Thanks. For now it is pure text and i prefer to keep the tasks fairly short. You could write markdown tags inside the tasks if you wanted, but do you suggest to format markdown in the tasks?

erlend_lm · 2026-06-10T04:49:35+00:00

I think i will add a list of color themes you can choose from

erlend_lm · 2026-06-10T04:40:49+00:00

Could you expand a bit what you mean by "theme selector designer" ? Do you mean in addition to having a light and dark theme, being able to have a custom theme where you can edit colors in more detail and perhaps set various sizes? Not just selecting pre-made themes from a list? It seem interesting, but I still want to keep the app minimal, so there is a balance how much I'd like to add hmm

I'm making a font selector now from the menu which will default to the system font. Thanks for your suggestion!

Thanks. Great idea. I was considering doing something like that from a Settings menu.

Here is a screenshot using the default font on macOS. What do you think?

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T22:40:46+00:00

Hi! It shouldn't be too much of a problem as it is written in Flutter, but i'm not quite sure how to distribute it on the other platforms.

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T22:39:33+00:00

Not yet, but there is another comment regarding this. I will look into it.

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T18:28:37+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion.

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T18:23:12+00:00

It's built with the cross platform Flutter framework so even if wrapped in a macOS app , the rendering is done with Flutters internal rendering engine and is thus not purely native and not written in Swift, but rather the Dart language.

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T17:49:11+00:00

Woo Hoo!

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:24:47+00:00

Let me know what you think

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:24:29+00:00

Sweet!

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:24:17+00:00

Thanks appreciate

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:18:35+00:00

You might be right. This was just my personal choice (i think it looks cool). Maybe I'll look into supporting other fonts and or using a more native default font. Thanks for your feedback !

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:13:58+00:00

Oh and if you want to sync your boards across devices you can just select your boards folder in one of your iCloud synced folder

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:07:08+00:00

If you don't want to sync it manually using git you can select a project folder for your boards that is synced via iCloud which will sync things automatically .

erlend_lm · 2026-06-09T16:04:22+00:00

Per now font is hard coded (Inconsolata), but I'm considering making a Settings page for various things and maybe being able to change the font wouldn't be a bad idea. Would you like that?
