minik

Tiny GitHub Kanban boards that stay persistently on top of other windows. Here's the maximized view:

Similar to the macOS Stickies app, here's the minimized view you can see by double-clicking on it:

What

Inspired by the macOS Stickies app, it's a floating Kanban for your GitHub project boards.

• Minimalist: Collapses to a tiny strip when you don't need it
• Always on top: Stay on task
• Read/write: drag items to update status
• Native: Built with Rust & Tauri

Features

• ✅ Minimized/expanded views
• ✅ Column visibility toggles
• ✅ Drag & drop items between columns
• ✅ Click through to GitHub issues/PRs
• ✅ Uses your existing gh CLI auth

Quick Start

# Prerequisites: Rust + GitHub CLI
gh auth login
cargo install tauri-cli

# Install it to /Applications
git clone https://github.com/codeGROOVE-dev/minik
cd minik
make install

It's only been tested on macOS, but it should work anywhere.

Why "minik"?

Mini + kanban = minik.

I get distracted easily so I needed something to keep me on task.

Status

Works better than expected, breaks less than feared. Still rough around the edges but genuinely useful for daily project tracking.
