> Offline-first personal kanban app with one-time licenses

Brisqi is a personal kanban app for Windows, macOS and Linux that keeps boards on the computer and works without an internet connection or an account.

## Ways to pay less

- **50% off for students** (Education): Students get 50% off the Basic and Standard plans by emailing proof of enrollment before buying. On Standard the discount lasts 1 year, and the code can be applied once. Source: https://brisqi.com/pricing
- **40% off license renewals** (Other savings): After the year of updates included with a one-time license, the license can be renewed for further updates at 40% off the regular price. Source: https://brisqi.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Boards, lists and cards:** Boards are sorted into groups, and each card can hold a Markdown description, subtasks, comments, labels, a due date, a color and links to other cards.
- **Calendar and upcoming tasks panel:** A monthly calendar shows cards by due date, and the upcoming tasks panel color-codes them by how close the deadline is.
- **Search, filters and list focus:** Global search finds cards across boards, filters narrow a board by label or due date, and List Focus Mode dims every list except the one being worked on.
- **Offline local storage:** The desktop app stores data on the computer and needs no internet connection or account. The vendor says it has no in-app monitoring or usage analytics.
- **Backups, CSV export and printing:** Boards can be backed up to a folder of the user's choice, including one synced by Dropbox or Google Drive, and exported to CSV. Lists and cards can be printed.
- **Encrypted sync and mobile apps:** The Standard subscription adds cloud sync that encrypts data on the device before it is uploaded, along with the iOS and Android apps.

## Good for

- Personal kanban boards kept on a desktop computer
- People who prefer a one-time license to a subscription
- Working where internet access is restricted or missing
- Solo developers, freelancers, researchers and students

## Worth knowing

- The free version stops at 2 boards, 5 lists per board and 5 labels.
- One-time licenses include 1 year of updates. The activated version keeps working after that, but later updates need a renewal.
- Cloud sync and the iOS and Android apps need the Standard plan at $80 per user / year; the one-time licenses cover offline desktop use only.
- It is built for individual use: the vendor says it is not designed to replace team tools with real-time collaboration, permissions and reporting.
