Free Kanban board for Mac
Free Kanban board for Mac — personal tasks with AI context
A free personal Kanban board for Mac with local task storage, markdown context, meeting follow-up, and optional Claude Code or Codex execution. No runnrr account required for the core workflow.
Short answer
Yes, runnrr is built for this workflow.
runnrr is free Kanban board software for a single Mac user who wants a lightweight personal task board rather than a team project-management suite. Columns and cards stay local, notes are ordinary markdown files, and tasks can keep the source context that created them.
The board is intentionally thin: capture, prioritize, attach context, and move work forward. If a card is suitable for AI, Claude Code or Codex can run it locally. If you need shared team boards, permissions, sprints, or reporting, runnrr is not the right Kanban tool.
Why it fits
The board keeps the work, the source, and the agent in one place
Local by default
Board state lives on your Mac and notes can stay as markdown files in folders you control.
AI when you want it
A card can carry enough context for Claude Code or Codex to pick up scoped work instead of starting from a blank prompt.
Workflow
From capture to execution
Download the Mac app
Start with the free local board. The core workflow does not require a runnrr account.
Shape the board around your work
Keep a simple flow such as Inbox, This week, Review, and Done, or rename columns to match how you actually work.
Attach context to the cards that need it
Link markdown notes, meeting context, files, or decisions so important tasks do not become one-line reminders with no history.
FAQ
Questions people ask before trying it
Is runnrr really a free Kanban board?
Yes. The core macOS task-board workflow is free. Optional online features can use network services, but you do not need a paid runnrr plan to use the local board.
Is runnrr Kanban board software for teams?
No. It is deliberately personal. If you need shared team boards, assignees, permissions, sprint planning, or portfolio reporting, use a team project-management tool instead.
Can I use the Kanban board offline?
The local board and markdown workspace can work on your Mac without an online account. Connected services and optional online features need internet access.
What does AI add to the Kanban board?
Cards can keep source context and be read by supported AI workflows. Claude Code or Codex can run scoped work from a card instead of requiring you to rewrite the task and background into a new chat.
