A macOS kanban app built for developers
Native macOS app
A real desktop app, not a browser tab. Your board lives in its own window, in the dock, and in Cmd+Tab, ready whenever you are.
Keyboard-first by design
Vim-style H/J/K/L navigation, single-key task actions, and a Cmd+K command palette. Manage the whole board without touching the mouse.
Always in sync
The Mac app, the web app, and your AI agents all work on the same boards in real time. Automatic updates keep the app current.
AI agents included
Connect Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor over MCP. Agents pick up tasks from the same board you see on your Mac and move work to Done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a native kanban board app for Mac?+
Yes. Kanboard ships a native macOS desktop app alongside the web version. You get your boards in a dedicated, distraction-free window with native performance and automatic updates, instead of another browser tab.
How much does the Kanboard Mac app cost?+
The Mac app is included with a Kanboard Pro subscription ($12/month). There is no separate purchase: one plan covers the web app, the macOS app, the MCP server for AI agents, and REST API access.
Does the Mac app sync with the web version?+
Yes. The desktop app and the web app share the same account and the same boards. Move a card on your Mac and it is instantly up to date in the browser, for your teammates, and for any AI agents connected over MCP.
Does the Mac app support keyboard shortcuts?+
Fully. Kanboard is keyboard-first everywhere: Vim-style H/J/K/L navigation, N to create a task, E to edit, and a Cmd+K command palette. The Mac app feels like a native tool, not a wrapped website.
Which macOS versions are supported?+
The app supports current macOS versions on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, with automatic updates so you always run the latest build. See the download page for details.
