Notes - Tapping an attachment card in a note opens it in Quick Look again on iPhone and iPad. In a note scrolled down from the top, a tap only placed the cursor beside the card
iPhone Duo - Kan Do is Made for iPhone Duo. Open it flat for the full iPad layout, or hold it like a book for a column on each page - With a task open while the Duo is held like a book, the bar keeps the board's name; it showed a pair of stray marks instead - Opening and closing iPhone Duo softens the screen while the hinge is moving, the way the Home Screen does, instead of cutting between the closed and open layouts Sync and new devices - Installing Kan Do on a second device no longer leaves you with two of everything. A fresh install now waits for iCloud to bring down your existing boards before it adds the sample Work space, and it asks iCloud directly instead of relying on iCloud Drive, so a Mac with iCloud Drive turned off waits too (tester) - If a duplicate sample board, Ideas tag, or Inbox card did slip in, the copy you have been using is the one that stays, and the untouched copy is removed on its own. That cleanup now runs for a month after an install instead of a week (tester)
Sync and new devices - Installing Kan Do on a second device no longer leaves you with two of everything. A fresh install now waits for iCloud to bring down your existing boards before it adds the sample Work space, and it asks iCloud directly instead of relying on iCloud Drive, so a Mac with iCloud Drive turned off waits too (tester) - If a duplicate sample board, Ideas tag, or Inbox card did slip in, the copy you have been using is the one that stays, and the untouched copy is removed on its own. That cleanup now runs for a month after an install instead of a week (tester) iPhone Duo - Opening and closing iPhone Duo softens the screen while the hinge is moving, the way the Home Screen does, instead of cutting between the closed and open layouts. Holding the Duo part way open keeps everything sharp
Task details - On the Mac, Settings ▸ General ▸ Always Show Task Details keeps the task's priority, dates, tags, links, and the rest open in a column to the right of the note every time a task opens, so there is nothing to open first (tester request) - On the Mac, ⌥⌘I (Task ▸ Edit Task Details…) opens the task's details from the keyboard (tester request) - ⌘I from the Task menu works again while a task is open; Italic keeps ⌘I while you are typing in a note (tester) Notes editor - A PDF attached to a note shows its first page in the note, the way pictures do (Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Images in Notes ▸ Larger Previews). PDFs attached before this update keep their file card until attached again (tester request) - A selected attachment card wears an accent frame, so it is clear which card is selected (tester request) - A card dragged to another spot in its own note moves there instead of leaving a duplicate behind (tester) - Text typed after a link, or on the line after one, no longer comes out in the link's blue (tester) - Typing a parenthesis and a space after an area code no longer turns a phone number into a numbered list (tester) - Text typed beside an attachment card is the note's normal size again (tester) - On iPhone and iPad, cut, copy, and paste keep links and attachment cards inside Kan Do, and copied text carries its links into other apps (tester) - A margin under the note keeps the last lines clear of the bottom edge and the close button while you type (tester request) - Attachments up to 200 MB can be added in the app; the share sheet keeps its 75 MB limit Boards - On iPhone and iPad, tapping Add task while a task is open closes that task and clears its highlight. After Return, the new task is the highlighted one, and on iPad it opens. The column scrolls once (tester) - On the Mac, opening and closing the task pane and scrolling sideways between columns are smoother (tester, M1 MacBook Pro) - On iPad in portrait, the board's name no longer runs under the open task pane Moving and selecting - Moving several tasks at once shows "Moved 12 tasks to Project ▸ Column" with Undo; ⌘Z on the Mac undoes it too (tester) - The Move to menus keep the app's order on iPad; they read backwards when the menu opened upward (tester) - Select in the Inbox and in project lists uses Kan Do's own selection circle, so selected rows no longer look completed. Selecting several rows closes the open task, and swiping the pane away clears the row highlight (tester) Recently Deleted - Restore puts a task whose column has been deleted or archived into the Inbox, where you can see it. Deleting a column now files its tasks in Recently Deleted first (tester) Links - On the Mac, Edit Link… and Remove Link appear in the right-click menu when part of a link is selected and the click lands beside the selection
Boards - Collapse a column from its menu. A collapsed column folds to about a third of its width and keeps its name, icon, and count readable; tap it to expand. Cards dropped on it land at the bottom - Collapsing more columns stacks them in that one strip, top to bottom in board order: two split it in half, three in thirds. Each block expands, drops, and opens its menu on its own Sidebar - Pin to Top on any project, smart list, or tag keeps it in a Pinned group above the tree, on every device (tester request) - Add Divider Above on a space, project, smart list, or tag draws a line, or a blank gap, above it. Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Sidebar Appearance ▸ Divider Style picks which (tester request) - Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Sidebar Appearance can hide the Spaces, Smart Lists, and Tags titles and the fold chevron on space rows; tapping a space still folds it (tester request) Built-in lists - Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Flagged, and Calendar can be renamed, re-iconed, and recolored: Customize… in a list's menu, or Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Built-in Lists. Reset to Default puts the stock look back. Widgets follow the custom look (tester request) Links - Copy Link on a project, a built-in list, or a custom smart list copies a kando:// link that opens it from any other app or note (tester request) - On iPhone and iPad, selecting text inside a link offers Edit Link… and Remove Link, and so does a long press on a link. A selection spanning several links offers Remove Links. On the Mac the right-click menu offers the same when the cursor or selection sits in a link Fixes - A task could open and then refuse to scroll or accept typing on iPhone. The link pencil was re-measured on every scroll frame while the note was not being edited, rebuilding the editor continuously; notes with very long paragraphs also lay out much faster - A TestFlight iPad was shut down by iOS while opening the database during a prewarmed background launch. Kan Do now waits until it is on screen to open your data in that case
Smart lists - New Status filter in the smart list editor: Completed or Archived turns a list into a record of finished work, for a status report or a performance review. The other filters narrow it as usual (tester request) - Completion Date joins Sort By everywhere, with Earliest First and Latest First - A Completed or Archived list opens newest completion first, and each row shows when the task was completed - Swipe an archived task in such a list to Unarchive it - Widgets showing a Completed or Archived list show the same finished tasks
Subtasks - The subtasks list in a task now folds away: tap the arrow at the right end of the Add Subtask row to hide it. The Subtasks pill in the header brings it back Settings - New About tab: the app icon, version and build number, and links to kandotasks.app for questions, feedback, guides, and release notes Notes editor - Checking off a to-do on iPhone no longer brings up the keyboard (tester report) - A numbered or bulleted item whose first word is one long unbroken run (a URL, a pasted token) now wraps beside its number instead of dropping below it (tester report) - Reopening a note no longer pushes a short numbered list a digit to the right until the first edit snaps it back (tester report) - The link pencil on iPhone and iPad keeps its place beside the link after the keyboard or header moves the note (tester report)
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)
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
- Open to navigation on launch setting - Icon seen in Siri AI matches appearance - Sync duplicate fix
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
- 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
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
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
MCP fixes and badge option for notifications!
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.
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
