Version History iPhone Duo

- Kan Do is built for iPhone Duo. Held open like a book, the board puts one column on each page with the crease between them; with the sidebar showing, the sidebar fills the left page and the board the right
- A task open on the closed screen stays open when you unfold, and an open pane stays open when you fold

iPad

- The full-screen note button and the Drawing tool are back in the task pane (tester report)

Mac

- Fixed rows in Today and other lists overlapping after the task pane opened (tester report)

Boards

- Settings > New Board Columns: list the columns every new board should start with, such as Backlog, Active, Done (tester request)

Widgets

- A project widget can show only the columns you choose: edit the widget and pick them under Columns. Its + adds to the first chosen column (tester request) 1.6 5d ago Mac

- Fixed: clicking a card on a board could leave Kan Do unresponsive, with icons missing and projects that would not open, until it was quit and reopened
- Fixed a crash that could happen while the window was redrawing 1.5.3 6d ago Recently Deleted

- Deleted tasks are now kept for 30 days in Recently Deleted (archive box at the top of the sidebar), with their subtasks and attachments. Tap Restore to put one back where it was. It is kept on the device where the task was deleted
- Undo after deleting a task now also brings back its subtasks and attachments

Backups

- Export All (in the + menu, and File on the Mac) saves everything to a folder: every project, your Inbox, and the pictures and files in notes
- Export Space, in a space's menu, does the same for one space
- Import now accepts a backup folder, or several project files at once. Everything is added as new copies; nothing is replaced
- On the Mac, the File menu now explains when Kan Do needs a restart instead of doing nothing

Tags

- Fixed: a tag created from a task's menu (Add Tag > New Tag...) went back to "New Tag" after closing the app, on all devices. If yours reverted, rename each one once: press and hold or right-click the tag in the sidebar > Edit Tag

Links in Notes

- One link window everywhere: the Link button, Cmd-K, and the menu on selected text. With the cursor in a link it becomes Edit Link, with Remove Link
- Mac: right-click a link for Edit Link... and Remove Link. The floating pencil is gone on the Mac; iPhone and iPad keep it
- Mac: link changes can be undone with Cmd-Z

Archive

- Empty Archive (archive box at the top of the sidebar) deletes all archived tasks at once. They go to Recently Deleted first
- Settings > General > Delete Archived Tasks can clear them automatically after 30 days, 90 days, or a year. Off by default

Mac

- Fixed: Cmd-Delete in an empty text box (such as the link window) could delete the open task. It now only deletes a task from that task's own blank title or note 1.5.2 Oct 2 Task Note

- Complete a task from its note: a circle in the top-right of the header, in line with the title, checks it off. The note stays open, and the task completes when you close it, staying on the board or going to the archive per your Task Completion setting

Subtasks

- Subtasks now show automatically when a task has them, instead of hiding behind the Subtasks pill
- Long subtask lists scroll inside the task, so every subtask can be reached on iPhone and the note stays in view

Dates

- Type the date instead of tapping through the calendar: a "Type a date" field sits under the date picker in Task Details and at the top of the Due Date sheet. Try tomorrow, fri 3pm, next friday, oct 12, in 2 weeks, or 3/14. A time in the phrase turns Set Time on with it

Boards

- New Settings > General > Unsorted Column option: keep the Unsorted column on the far right (default) or move it to the far left of every board

Widgets

- A widget showing a board now lists its tasks under the column names in board order, like the sections in the Reminders widget. The small widget stays a flat list
- Today, Upcoming, and date-based smart list widgets now include subtasks with a due date, with the parent task's name beside each one. Tap a subtask row to open its parent

Stability

- Fixed the crash where iOS closed Kan Do while it was waking up for a sync or refreshing after one
- Mac: lines below the cursor no longer disappear after an edit that moves them, such as pressing Return at the front of a line
- Mac: if the app ever stops responding to typing or clicks until you quit and reopen, Settings > Sync > Diagnostics now records the cause so you can send it along 1.5.1 Oct 1 Reminders

- New snooze buttons on task reminders: Snooze 1 Hour and Snooze Until Tonight (6 PM). Both bring the reminder back later without touching the task, so repeating tasks keep their schedule

Widgets

- New Widget Text Size slider in Settings ▸ Typography (80% to 160%)
- Widget text follows your iPhone's text size setting, including accessibility sizes

Board

- New Task is now the first button in the toolbar on every platform, replacing the floating + circle. The List / Kanban toggle moved into the Project Settings menu (renamed from Project Info)
- New in Settings ▸ General: Tapping Blank Column Space. Dismiss Current Note (the default) closes the open task; Create New Task adds a card at the bottom of that column and opens it
- iPhone and iPad: the Add Task field no longer sits inside a faint lighter box
- Tapping the open card again closes its pane; selecting several cards closes it too. When the pane would cover the selected card, the board scrolls that column into view
- ⌘⌫ deletes a just-created task that is still empty
- A task added by clicking empty space under a Manual-sorted smart list lands at the bottom

Mac (macOS 27)

- Dragging cards works from the moment the app opens; dragging a column by its title works again on boards with an archived column
- Selecting several lines in a note highlights them as one block again
- Drag an attachment card out of a note to Finder, another note, or Mail. A click selects the card; a double-click still opens it

Notes

- Default Text Style now applies right away, even with a note open
- Copy Link: right-click (Mac) or press and hold (iPhone/iPad) any task link
- Return with the cursor in front of a list number, bullet, or checkbox no longer stacks a second marker; an empty item opens above instead
- Checklist lines no longer vanish while typing on the Mac, and text below a dropped picture no longer draws over itself
- Type "[]" and a space to start a to-do; "[x]" starts one already checked off
- Move to-dos to subtasks: select checklist lines and choose Move to Subtasks. A subtask's menu offers Move to Note and Move All Subtasks to Note
- The picture button asks Photo Library, Choose File…, or Use Clipboard
- Dragging an image or file into a note drops it where the pointer is
- Cut, copy, and paste work on attachment cards on the Mac
- Backspace at the start of a list line joins it cleanly to the line above; a checklist or quote replaces a bullet instead of stacking

Task Details

- Add Cover Image offers Photo Library, Choose File, and Use Clipboard right from the details sheet
- Set Time toggles for Start Date and Due Date. A new due date starts as just the day

Share Sheet

- Long shared text goes into the note in full, with the opening words as the title

Opening Your Data

- A lock file carried over by a backup restore or new-phone transfer could leave Kan Do stuck on "Opening Your Data" with "system error 5". Kan Do now repairs that file itself

iPhone Duo

- Kan Do is ready for iPhone Duo: the closed screen gets its own layout with controls in the side rail, and the open screen gets the iPad layout with the sidebar and two full columns
- Column Width, drawing, full-screen notes, and the taller keyboard panel follow screen width instead of device type

AI Assistants (MCP)

- Settings ▸ AI Assistants (MCP) now covers any assistant that supports MCP, with setup steps for several popular ones
- New connector tools: search tasks by title, tag, project, column, or note text; edit spaces, projects, and columns; delete a column 1.5 Sep 25 Today, Upcoming, and Inbox

- Manual reordering works again on iPhone and iPad: with Sort By set to Manual, press and hold a task and drag it to a new spot, and it stays there. Before, the task sprang back to its old place the moment you let go, even though the new order was saved and showed up after a relaunch (tester video). The same fix applies inside the Past Due and Today sections and to a reorder synced from another device

Smart Lists

- Tasks with a start date now show up in your own smart lists the same way they do in Today: a list with a Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week, or date-range filter includes a task on every day from its start date through its due date (tester report: a task that had started was in Today but missing from "Today + Priority"). Overdue still goes by the due date alone. Widgets follow the same rule

iPhone and iPad

- Tapping the empty space under a list or board column no longer starts a new task; that stays a Mac feature. On iPad, tapping empty space now closes the open task instead, the same as tapping between board columns
- The task pane's close button on iPad now points right, the direction the pane slides away (down stays for the iPhone sheet)
- Closing the task pane with a swipe on iPad is more forgiving: a slightly diagonal swipe or a quick flick now counts, and a two-finger swipe on the screen works as well as on the trackpad 1.4.9 Sep 17 Cover Images

- Cover image size per project: Project Info now offers Left Strip (as before), Square, or Widescreen (16:9). Square and Widescreen sit across the top of the card with the task details below. Every card on that board follows the choice, on all your devices. The chooser shows a small preview card for each layout
- Use Clipboard: when a picture is on the clipboard, the cover image chooser offers it directly, alongside Photo Library and Choose File

Notes

- Images in Notes (Settings ▸ Appearance): keep the compact cards, or choose Larger Previews to see the pictures themselves in the note. With previews on, right-click (Mac) or press and hold (iPhone, iPad) a picture to make it Small (a third of the note's width) or Large (the full width of the text). The choice is saved with the note, so every device shows it the same way
- Code blocks now sit on a rounded slab with breathing room around the text and clear space above and below the block; inline code and highlights get a snug rounded box around the words instead of a full-height strip
- Text typed right after turning a line into a code block stays in the block

Today and Calendar

- Tasks with a start date now join Today on the day they start and stay there every day through the due date, so Today works as a daily to-do list. They only turn overdue once the due date passes. Upcoming shows what hasn't started or come due yet
- The calendar shows a task on its start date (marked "Starts") as well as on its due date; drag the Starts chip to move the start date
- Tasks with a due time show the time on their calendar tile, in red once it has passed

Recovery

- Restore from Local Backup: if Kan Do ever can't open its database, the recovery screen now offers this device's own verified backups (the daily snapshots plus the copies kept before Sync Repair or an iCloud re-download). Pick one, confirm, and Kan Do puts it back and opens; a copy of the database it replaced is kept first. Works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, and needs neither another device nor iCloud
- Changes made after the backup that already reached iCloud come back as sync catches up

Smart Lists

- Dated subtasks now appear in your own smart lists whenever the list has a Date or Time filter (for example "Today + Priority"), the same way they already do in Today and Upcoming. The subtask is matched on its own due date; tags, priority, flag, and project come from its parent task

Shortcuts

- Edit Task: change a task's title, subtitle, note, due date and time, priority, flag, link, tags, column, cover image, or completion from a shortcut. Fields you leave blank stay as they are
- Get Selected Tasks: returns whatever is selected in Kan Do right now, so a shortcut can act on the tasks you just picked
- Task links: every Task variable now has a Link property (kando://task/…), and a Get Task Link action returns it on its own
- Tag Names: Add Task and Edit Task accept tags as text, one per item, so tags can come from an earlier action. A name that matches nothing creates the tag
- Project Name: Add Task accepts the project as text, so a project from Find List or any earlier action drops straight in

Fixes

- Exported project files now include each task's subtasks, and importing a file brings them back
- Dividers can be dragged again on iPhone and iPad: press and hold the line, then drag it between cards, the same way cards move. The old drag fought the scrolling column (and could crash on iPhone)
- iPad and Mac boards: cards now fade out above the Add Task field instead of showing through underneath it when a column is longer than the screen 1.4.8 Sep 17 Widgets

- Extra Large widget: the Tasks widget comes in a fourth size that fills a whole Home Screen page on iPhone (iOS 27) and the wide extra-large size on iPad and Mac, with room for up to seventeen tasks in one column or eighteen across two
- Lock Screen widgets (iPhone and iPad): the Tasks widget now offers a rectangular size under the clock, showing the list's name, count, and first two tasks, and an inline size next to the date showing the count ("3 tasks"); tapping either opens that list
- Two circular Lock Screen widgets: Calendar opens Kan Do on the Calendar, and New Task opens it ready to add a task to your Inbox

Fixes

- Settings ▸ App Icon: icons in each row now line up even when a name wraps to two lines 1.4.7 Sep 16 Task Start

- Give a task a start date and time alongside its due date (Task Details ▸ Start Date). It shows on cards and rows, and Alert at Start sends a notification when the start arrives, so you get a reminder ahead of the due date

App Icon

- iPhone and iPad: Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Theme ▸ App Icon lets you pick the Home Screen icon. Choose the Kan Do columns in seven color schemes (Classic, Blue, Midnight, Navy, Indigo, Plum, Slate) or one of seven new designs (Check Gradient, Check Stripes, Check Neon, Board Blue, Board Neon, Board Teal, Board Pink)

Notes

- Text Color: pick a color for selected text, or for what you type next, from the new palette button in the formatting bar. Default restores the normal color, and colors sync across your devices
- Highlight now offers six colors instead of only yellow; None removes a highlight
- The "more tools" menu keeps bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and code as checkable toggles that stay open, so bold and underline can be applied to one selection in a single visit
- A to-do item starts with a capital letter as soon as you type after the checkbox
- iOS: Copy now comes before Cut in the floating menu over selected text, so a stray tap no longer removes the text
- The keyboard formatting panel gained Text Color and Highlight menus

Adding Tasks

- Tap or click in the empty space under a column's cards to start a new task there, or under the last row of a list (Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Flagged, custom lists, and a project's list view), the way Reminders does
- A brand-new task closed with nothing entered goes away again instead of lingering as a blank "New Task"
- Mac: Escape while naming a brand-new task backs out of creating it; on an existing task, Escape in the title or subtitle closes the pane

Fixes

- Tasks created or edited through the MCP connector now sync through iCloud right away while Kan Do is running, instead of waiting for the next relaunch 1.4.6 Sep 15 Drag and Drop

- Drag a task card onto a project in the sidebar to move it there, onto a tag to apply that tag, or onto Inbox to send it back to the Inbox
- On the Mac, drag an email out of Mail into a note and it becomes a card showing the subject. Click the card to open the message in Mail. The link is added to the task's Links too
- Column reordering shows a vertical line where the column will land, with no green "copy" badge, and a column can be dropped past the last column to move it to the end
- Completed tasks that stay on the board can be dragged to another column

Typography

- Settings > Typography > Default Text Style chooses the style a new note starts in: Body, Title, Heading, or Subheading
- Pressing Return at the end of a Title, Heading, or Subheading line starts the next line in Body instead of carrying the heading style forward
- Choosing a style on an empty line now applies to what you type next
- New Column Icons slider sets the size of the symbol in each column header

Notes

- Numbered lists keep their text aligned past item 9
- Numbered lists always count from 1, so deleting the first item no longer leaves a list starting at 2
- Backspace right after a bullet or number removes the whole marker instead of leaving a stray number glued to the text
- Email and web addresses become links as you type or paste them

Fixes

- With Move to Archive on, a completed card fades out after its strikethrough draws and the cards below slide up smoothly into its place
- Escape in the Add Task field discards what was typed and leaves the field
- iOS: paste into the Add Task field works (a long press there no longer opens the column menu)
- iOS: shake to undo works for completing, deleting, and duplicating tasks
- Clicking into a task's title or subtitle places the cursor where you clicked instead of selecting the whole text
- Mac: the task detail pane can no longer squeeze the list or board beside it to a sliver in a narrow window
- Long columns scroll more smoothly 1.4.5 Sep 15 - Open to navigation on launch setting
- Icon seen in Siri AI matches appearance
- Sync duplicate fix 1.4.4 Sep 14 Siri AI is Here!

- Siri now works with Kan Do on iOS 27 and macOS 27: create, update, complete, and delete tasks by voice, no shortcut needed
- Say things like "Add a task to Kan Do called call the plumber tomorrow", "Flag it", "Move it to my Website project", "Mark it as completed", or "Delete that task"
- Ask Siri about your tasks and it answers from Kan Do: "What's due today in Kan Do?" or "Do I have a task about the invoice?"
- Projects work as Siri's lists and columns as its sections, so "put it in the Doing column" lands the task where you'd expect
- Due dates, repeats, flags, tags, links, notes, photos, and location alerts all carry over from what you say
- Tap a Siri or Spotlight result to open the task or project in Kan Do
- Requires iOS 27 or macOS 27 with Apple Intelligence; tasks may take a few seconds to appear in Siri after you open the app

Shortcuts

- The Add Task action gains a Photos field: pass pictures from Select Photos or Take Photo and each becomes an image attachment on the task 1.4.3 Sep 13 - Widgets can show any list: the Inbox, your own smart lists, or a project, and you choose where the + button adds tasks
- Notes on iPhone and iPad get a formatting bar above the keyboard with a full panel of formatting keys
- Project Info can set Task Completion (Keep on Board or Move to Archive) per project, overriding the app-wide setting
- The Add Task shortcut and Siri phrase now work on Apple Watch
- Giving an Inbox task a date moves it out of the Inbox
- Today can be sorted by hand again when it shows Past Due and Today sections
- Import from Reminders can go straight to the Inbox
- Edit titles for spaces, projects, columns, tags, and smart lists right at the top of the editor
- Fixes: text cursor height, checkbox alignment, and clearer share sheet messages 1.4.2 Sep 12 Smart Lists

- Make your own smart lists, like Reminders: choose + ▸ New Smart List in the sidebar, give it a name, icon, and color, then pick filters for Tags, Date, Time, Location, Flag, Priority, Spaces, and Projects, and whether a task must match all of them or any one
- Smart lists appear in their own collapsible section above Tags, with counts, drag to reorder, and Edit / Delete in the long-press menu; each list remembers its own sort and manual order like the built-in lists
- Tags, Spaces, and Projects filters can Include or Exclude what you pick, so a shopping or movie project never shows up in a smart list
- Settings ▸ Sidebar Smart Lists can hide the Smart Lists section and the Tags section, and a new Sidebar Order group puts Spaces, Smart Lists, and Tags in whatever order you like
- Typography sliders are now all the same width on every platform, without tick marks; on iPhone the title sits above a full-width track
- New Column Width slider (220–480 pt) for the kanban board on Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro; iPhone keeps its stock layout
- Your smart lists follow you to your other devices through iCloud, separate from the task database

Task history

- Task Details gains a History section: Created, and when they apply, Completed, Archived, and Restored dates; archive and restore dates are recorded from now on, whether a task is archived by hand, by completing it under Move to Archive, or brought back from the archive
- Restoring a task from the archive always marks it incomplete again
- Task Details now shows Tags above Board Location

Boards

- Drag a column by its title (click-drag on Mac, long press on iPhone and iPad) onto another column to reorder
- Typing in a column's Add task field and then tapping the blue + finishes that task in that column and opens it, instead of opening a blank task in the default column
- A duplicated task scrolls into view if it lands below the fold
- A long column no longer jumps back up after you add a task, and no longer springs back after a card's long-press menu
- Focusing the Add task field under a long column scrolls the last card up first, so the new task has room to land
- Deleting a repeating task now asks whether to delete only this occurrence (the next one is still created on schedule) or all future occurrences
- Mac: the first click on a task's title or subtitle places the cursor; it used to take two clicks
- Notes: pasting a link then pressing ⌘Z undoes it cleanly, and the divider button works right after a large paste
- Notes on iPhone rubber-band even when short, so a pull shows there's nothing more

Alert Until Done

- Remind Every is now set per task: each task's slide-out has its own cadence (Every 30 Minutes, Every Hour, Every 3 Hours, Every Day) and a Default choice that follows the app-wide setting; before, changing it in one task changed every task
- Settings ▸ General gains "Alert Until Done Reminds", the default cadence for tasks that don't set their own
- The Add Task shortcut action has a matching Remind Every field

Notes

- Paste a picture into a note and it becomes an attachment card

Sync

- "Items hidden by a sync conflict" now clears on its own
- If the app cannot open your data at launch, the retry screen now shows the technical reason and logs each failed attempt

Widgets

- Widgets now refresh as soon as a change syncs in from another device
- Closing Kan Do pushes any pending widget refresh out immediately
- Refreshes coalesce after one second instead of two

Shortcuts: Add Task

- New Due Date & Time field for variables that already carry a time, such as a calendar event's start date
- New Alert Until Done toggle
- The Column list shows every column labeled with its project and space, in sidebar order, so you can pick a column without choosing a Space or Project first; choosing a Space or Project narrows the list 1.4 Sep 11 Tags can now be nested inside other tags, as many levels deep as you like, and every level keeps its own icon and color.

Nested tags

- Right-click or long-press a tag in the sidebar and choose New Nested Tag to add a tag inside it, or Nest Under to move an existing tag inside another one (Top Level moves it back out)
- The tag editor has a new Nested Under menu, so you can pick a parent while naming a tag and choosing its icon and color
- Parent tags show a chevron in the sidebar; tap it to fold or unfold their nested tags, and Kan Do remembers what you folded on each device
- Selecting a parent tag shows tasks carrying it or any tag nested under it, and the sidebar count does the same
- Filter by Tag on boards, lists, and the calendar treats a parent tag the same way, and nested tags read indented in those menus
- Add Tag in a task's context menu opens nested tags as submenus; the parent itself stays on the first line so it can still be added
- Dragging a tag in the sidebar reorders it among its siblings and carries its nested tags with it
- Deleting a tag also deletes the tags nested under it (the confirmation says so)
- Claude and the connector see nested tags as Parent/Child paths in list_tags, and can create a whole path such as Work/Clients/Acme in one go
- Shortcuts show a nested tag's full path so two tags with the same name are easy to tell apart

Projects and spaces

- Projects and spaces have a Notes field in their editor, under the name; it stays in the editor and is empty until you write something
- Duplicate Project and Export no longer fail with "This project changed while Kan Do was preparing the export" on stores that hold a stray row somewhere else (a leftover divider or column from an old sync); only the board being copied is checked now

Today

- Group by Time in the Today list's menu splits it into Overdue, Morning, Afternoon, Tonight, and Any Time (tasks due today with no time), like Reminders; off by default and remembered per device

Notes

- The pencil for editing a link now sits right after the link's last character, on the correct line even when the link wraps, with a bigger tap target; it opens an Edit Link card with Title and Address, Remove Link, Cancel, and Done, like Bear

New Task

- A task started from the Action Button, a widget's +, the home-screen quick action, or the New Task shortcut is discarded again if you close it without typing anything, instead of leaving an empty "New Task" behind

Reminders

- The task slide-out's due chip now shows the time as well as the date whenever the task has one
- Alert Until Done can repeat every 30 minutes or every day, in addition to hourly and every 3 hours
- Snoozing, completing, or rescheduling a task on one device now quiets it on your other iPhones and iPads within seconds: as soon as the change syncs, each device reschedules its own alerts in the background instead of waiting until you open the app there
- A banner for a task that was snoozed or moved to a later time elsewhere is cleared from Notification Center on this device 1.3.8 Sep 7 MCP fixes and badge option for notifications! 1.3.7 Sep 5 CLAUDE & MCP CONNECTOR (MAC)

- The Mac app now includes a helper that lets AI assistants (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cowork) read and change your spaces, projects, columns, and tasks, including subtasks, locations, links, and cover images.
- Settings ▸ Connector shows the one-line command or configuration to copy. Everything stays on your Mac and syncs through iCloud like any other edit.

MULTI-SELECT CONTEXT MENU

- With several tasks selected, right-click or long-press one of them for Flag/Unflag, Priority, Due Date (Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, Pick Date & Time…, Remove), Move to, Add Tag with New Tag…, Export Attachments, and Delete, all applied to every selected task.
- Works on the board, in project lists, and in the smart lists.

TAGS FROM THE CONTEXT MENU

- Right-click or long-press a task and choose Add Tag to see every tag you have. Tap one to add it, or tap a checked one to remove it.
- New Tag… at the bottom creates a tag, attaches it to the task, and opens the tag editor so you can name it and pick its icon and color.

CALENDAR

- Month and week views show tasks as their board cards (title, subtitle, tags, priority, flag, and note, attachment, and link badges) wherever a day column is wide enough. Narrow layouts keep the compact chips, and subtasks always stay chips.
- Settings ▸ General ▸ Calendar Opens In picks Week or Month for every visit, or Last Used to keep whatever you left it on.

SUBTASKS

- Drag the grip at the right of a subtask to reorder your checklist, both under the note header and in Task Details.

NOTES

- Inline code and code blocks no longer turn into unreadable black boxes when a note written on another device is opened. The code background is now the same soft gray everywhere, and existing notes are corrected as they load.

DIVIDERS

- Adding a divider to a column sorted by due date, priority, or title now switches that column back to Manual order so the divider appears. It used to be added invisibly.

DUE DATES

- Pick Date & Time… from a task's context menu now opens at full height on iPhone, so the calendar, Set Time, and the Cancel/Set buttons are all visible.

PROJECTS

- Right-click or long-press a project in the sidebar and choose New Project in Space to add a sibling project without going up to the space.

SHORTCUTS

- The Add Task action gains Subtitle, Location (Current Location, a searched place, or a location from an earlier action), and Attachments (any files; each becomes an attachment on the new task).
- The Get Tasks action's List field now offers Inbox and Flagged alongside Today and Upcoming, and can still be left blank for every open task. 1.3.6 Sep 4 Subtasks, locations, a calendar, and more ways to sort and filter!

Subtasks

* Every task can now have a checklist of subtasks — add them from the task's details, or straight from the "Subtasks" and "Add Subtask" buttons at the top of a task note
* Each subtask can carry its own due date and fires its own reminder; "Mark Done" on the reminder checks off just that subtask
* Cards and rows show a small pie that fills in as subtasks get done
* A repeating task carries its checklist onto the next occurrence, unchecked and with any subtask due dates shifted along with it
* Don't want subtasks? Switch them off in Settings ▸ General and they disappear everywhere

Locations

* Give a task a place: type a business name or an address in the task's details and pick from the suggestions (allow location access to see places near you)
* A map-pin badge on cards, rows, and at the top of the task shows which tasks have a location
* On iPhone, turn on "Notify When Arriving" or "Notify When Leaving" under the due date and Kan Do reminds you when you get there or head out (this needs "Always" location access; Kan Do never stores or shares your location)

Calendar

* A new Calendar smart list beside Inbox, Today, Upcoming, and Flagged shows every task and subtask with a due date on a month grid or a week view
* Step back and forward by week or month, jump to Today, and switch between Week and Month (Kan Do remembers your choice)
* Show everything, or just one tag or one project
* Tap an item to open its task; right-click or long-press for tags, due date, and the usual task actions
* Drag an item onto another day to reschedule it
* Completed items follow your Task Completion setting: shown struck through under "Keep on Board", hidden under "Move to Archive"
* Hide or show the Calendar like any other smart list in Settings ▸ Library

Sort and filter

* Sort any column, list-view heading, or the Today / Upcoming / Flagged / Inbox lists by Due Date, Creation Date, Priority, or Title — earliest or latest first — from the column's "…" menu or the list's new toolbar button
* Manual stays the default so you can keep dragging cards where you want them; choosing a sort turns off dragging within that column, while dragging a card into it from another column still works
* Filter any column or list to a single tag
* Sort and filter choices are remembered per column and per list on each device

Also

* Settings ▸ General ▸ "Show Task Counts for Spaces": an open-task count next to each Space in the sidebar
* Apple Watch: browse a Space, then a project, then a column to see and check off its tasks — every workspace, right on your wrist

Fixes

* Adding a link inside a note no longer forces "https://" onto links that already have their own scheme, so Mail message links (message:…), mailto:, and app links work from notes just as they do from Task Links 1.3.5 Sep 2 Attachments & Links

- Attachments now save instantly, everywhere, no more added files quietly going missing from a task
- Adding an attachment or link updates the task immediately: the icons under the task title, the Task Details lists, and the note itself all refresh the moment you add one
- The document icon on a task is now clickable. See every attachment at a glance and open one right from the list, just like the link icon
- The link and attachment popovers now show up to seven items before scrolling instead of a cramped couple of rows

Boards

- Dragging a divider to a new spot now sticks, it no longer snaps back to where it was

Notes

- Two new Code Font choices: JetBrains Mono and JetBrains Mono Extra Light — a favorite coding typeface, now built in
- New Code Size setting in Settings ▸ Typography: keep code matched to your note size, or set its own size (like 13 pt code under 20 pt text)
- Fixed a Mac issue where a note's latest changes could be lost if the window was hidden or covered before saving finished 1.3.3 Aug 31 A fix-focused update: attachments get a proper home in Task Details, reminders fire when they should, and a batch of the most-reported bugs are gone on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.

Attachments

- New Attachments section in Task Details: every image and file in a task's note, listed in one place
- Tap an attachment to preview it in Quick Look
- Add attachments right from there, choose from Photos or Files
- Swipe to remove an attachment (right-click on Mac)
- Long-press an attachment in a note (right-click on Mac) to open, share, or remove it
- Tasks with attachments now show a small document icon on their card

Notes

- Type *** on its own line to insert a dividing line

Due Dates & Reminders

- Tasks with a due time now turn red the moment that time passes, no more waiting until tomorrow. Date-only tasks still wait for the next day
- Fixed reminders that never arrived when set just minutes ahead
- Fixed reminders lost by locking your phone right after setting a due date
- Fixed reminders on busy boards being silently dropped past the system's limit — the soonest alerts now always win
- Tasks added straight to Today or Upcoming schedule their reminders immediately

Boards

- Reorder Columns now actually reorders the board, not just the list in the popup
- The reorder drag handles are back on Mac
- Moving a task with oversized attachments no longer bounces back with a dead-end alert: the move works, and the alert now tells you exactly what's too big — with a one-tap Remove Cover Image button when that's the fix
- Deleting attachments from a too-large task now saves every time, so you can always shrink a task back under the sync limit

Sync

- If your device's local database ever has conflicting copies of an item, Kan Do protects your data by hiding it, and now tells you: Settings > Sync shows exactly how many items are affected and points to the one-tap fix (Re-download from iCloud)
- Sync's Recent Activity log now reports duplicate boards and columns, not just tasks 1.3.2 Aug 31 NEW

• Duplicate Project: right-click (Mac) or long-press (iPhone/iPad) a project in the sidebar to make a full copy — columns, tasks, and tags included — with a name of your choice.
• Links, reorganized: tap the link chip under a task's title to see every link in one place — links in the note and the task's own links — with page names fetched automatically. Add Link there adds to the task's Links list.
• Named links in notes: the link tool in the note toolbar now links your selected text, or inserts a link with custom text right at the cursor.
• Links now accept any app or URL type — messages://, shortcuts://, mailto:, and more — not just web and file links.
• Alert Until Done can now remind you every hour or every 3 hours (in the task's due-date settings).
• New setting: Hide Column Counts hides the task-count numbers next to column names on boards and lists.

FIXED

• Creating a task on iPhone: tapping the blue check now saves the task and closes the window instead of adding a blank line to the title.
• Shortcuts: a task's Due Date, Title, Note, and Tags can now be used as variables — creating Reminders with the date and time from a Kan Do task works.
• Typing a link in Task Details no longer kicks you out of the field after the first character.
• Links added from the popover now appear immediately in the Task Details list.
• Fixed the app freezing (spinning wheel) on large boards when completing tasks or returning to the app.
• Fixed a crash that could happen silently in the background while iCloud sync was saving changes.
• Apple Watch: circular complications now show their labels on watch faces that support them. 1.3.1 Aug 29 Search is Here!

Tap the magnifying glass on the main screen to search everything: projects, tasks, notes, and tags. Toggle on Completed or Archived to find more results, and tap any result to jump to that task on its board.

Bigger Attachments

Notes can now hold files up to 75 MB each - PDFs, videos, documents, anything. Attachments sync reliably across all your devices as their own lightweight records.

A smoother way to add tasks

- Clicking "Add task" now closes any open task panel and highlights the field so Return always creates your task
- New tasks scroll into view at the bottom of their column
- Choose where the big + button sends new tasks: the Unsorted column or your first column (Settings ▸ General)

Columns

- Right-click or long-press on any column to open its menu.
- There are new "Archive All Tasks" and "Unarchive All Tasks" options.
- When you delete a column, the system asks if you want to archive or delete its tasks. No data is removed without a prompt.

Notes

- Pasted text now adopts your Typography settings instead of keeping the source app's fonts and colors
- Typography changes apply to open notes instantly
- Checkbox fixes: backspace removes an empty checkbox cleanly, and pasting can no longer create doubled checkboxes

And more

- One tap starts editing a task's title on iPhone
- Removing a cover image is now one tap on the red trash icon

- Numbered lists now stay in order automatically when you add, delete, or rearrange lines

- Drawings save right into the note and sync everywhere, they show as images on iPhone and Mac
- Tap a drawing on iPad to reopen the canvas and keep working on it

Notes & Editing

- Paste a link over selected text to turn that text into a link
- Numbered lists now number correctly: select several lines, apply the list, and they count 1, 2, 3 (and continue from the list above)
- Paste and Match Style pastes plain text in your note's formatting, in the Mac Edit menu, and now on iPhone and iPad with a hardware keyboard
- Return on a to-do line continues the checklist; Return on an empty box ends it
- Clicking into a note without typing no longer marks the task as having a note, and existing "phantom" note icons clean themselves up

Tasks & Boards

- A completely reworked due-date picker: type a date, pick from a month calendar, and optionally add a time
- Tasks set to "Keep on Board" now stay in the Inbox when you check them off, instead of vanishing
- Pick any color for Spaces, Projects, and Columns, a new rainbow swatch opens the system color picker
- Pressing Tab moves Title - Subtitle - Space when creating or editing a task
- Fixed a freeze when using keyboard shortcuts while typing in the "Add task" bar, arrow keys now move your cursor in the field instead of the board selection

Mac

- Window - Main Window brings back the main window after you close it
- The task pane's resize handle now works along its full height, not just near the top
- The sidebar remembers which Spaces and sections you've expanded or collapsed

Shortcuts

- Get Tasks can now filter by Today or Upcoming, matching the app's lists
- Add Task outputs the task it creates, so you can chain it into Open Task, Complete Task, and more
- Add Task's "Open Task After Creating" now really opens the app, and the redundant "Show When Run" toggle is gone

Share Sheet & Control Center

- The share sheet shows a clear "Save to Kan Do" header with Cancel and Done on every platform
- The Control Center New Task button now reliably opens the app, even from a cold start 1.2.3 Aug 21 Duplicate a task

Right‑click (or long‑press) any task and choose Duplicate. The copy keeps the title, subtitle, notes, links, cover image, tags, due date and reminders, priority, flag, and repeat rule, and lands right below the original. On Mac, ⌘D duplicates the selected task. Undo removes the copy.

A better due‑date picker

Pick Date & Time… in the Due Date menu now opens a compact popup: type a date or click one on the calendar, and check Set Time only when a time matters. Leave it unchecked and the task is due on that day with no time attached.

Smoother boards

Fixed the jerky horizontal scrolling on iOS and Mac — columns no longer snap to the left edge while you swipe.

Control Center

The New Task control now reliably opens Kan Do straight into a fresh Inbox task, whether the app is running or not.

Checklists in notes

In a task's notes, pressing Return on a checkbox line adds a new checkbox; press Return again on an empty box to go back to plain text — just like bullets and numbered lists.

Links to files

The Links section now accepts a path to a file or folder on your Mac (/Users/you/… or ~/…). Click it to reveal the item in Finder.

Smaller things

- Adding a divider places it below the selected task instead of always at the top of the column.
- "Add Tag" is now "Edit Tags" everywhere.
- Task Details moved from ⌘D to ⌘I on Mac to make room for Duplicate. 1.2.2 Aug 19
