No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. Your boards never leave your machine unless you choose to sync them.
Every board is a readable JSON file in a folder you pick. Back it up, diff it, script it, stash it in Git.
Minimal UI. Smooth drag and drop. Light and dark themes. No notifications, no nagging, no upsells.
Native macOS app. Opens instantly. Works offline. Keyboard shortcuts for common actions.
Store boards in your project repo. Diff them on PRs. Edit them in your editor if you want. It's just JSON.
Save any board as a template. Spin up new projects in seconds. Switch between boards with ⌘ L.
