## Key features

- **Boards, columns and list view:** Every project is a board of user-defined columns. Cards are dragged between columns, dividers split long columns into sections, and any project can switch to a list.
- **Spaces, projects and nested tags:** Spaces group projects, each with its own icon and color, and tags can be nested to any depth to cut across projects.
- **Notes editor in every task:** A task's note takes headings, lists, to-do checkboxes, quotes, code blocks, highlights, images, drawings and file attachments, which sync with the task.
- **Smart lists and Calendar view:** Inbox, Today, Upcoming and Flagged collect tasks across projects, custom smart lists filter by tag, date, priority or project, and a built-in Calendar view shows tasks and subtasks.
- **Reminders that repeat until done:** Tasks take start dates, due dates and repeats. Alert Until Done reminders recur every 30 minutes, hour, 3 hours or day, and can be snoozed from the notification.
- **Siri, Shortcuts and MCP connector:** Siri and Shortcuts actions add, edit, find and complete tasks. On the Mac, a built-in MCP helper lets assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor read and manage tasks.

## Good for

- One person running kanban boards across Apple devices
- Buyers who want a low one-time price and no account
- People who let an AI assistant manage tasks through MCP

## Worth knowing

- Apple platforms only: the FAQ says there is no web or Windows version.
- Boards cannot be shared with another person; sync runs only between one user's devices under a single Apple Account.
- It is a paid download with no free version or trial.
- Kan Do does not write tasks to the Calendar app, and Apple Reminders is the only app it imports from directly.

## Works with

iCloud, Apple Reminders, Siri, Apple Shortcuts, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor
