⚡️ Kanban v1.0.0 — Native macOS Speed, 100% Offline-First

We are thrilled to announce the inaugural open-source release of Kanban (v1.0.0) — an ultra-lightweight, offline-first personal project management desktop application built exclusively for macOS with Tauri 2, Rust, SQLite WAL, and React 19.

No cloud lock-in. No electron bloat. Zero telemetry. Just instant keyboard fluidity and native performance.

🚀 Key Highlights

🪶 4.6 MB Lightweight Native Bundle (Zero Electron)

  • Engineered with Tauri 2 and Rust to deliver a sub-5 MB DMG installer.
  • Idles at 0.0% CPU and maintains a low memory footprint (<95 MB RSS) with 60 FPS drag-and-drop animations.

💾 100% Offline-First & Local SQLite WAL Persistence

  • Every project, epic, ticket, subtask, and comment is persisted locally in an ACID-compliant SQLite WAL database (~/Library/Application Support/com.kanban.macos/kanban.db).
  • Sub-100ms relational query compiler with instant multi-entity Spotlight search.
  • Portable JSON workspace backups with SHA-256 verification, supporting non-destructive Merge and snapshot Replace modes.

🤖 First-Class Model Context Protocol (MCP) Co-Working

  • Built-in stdio MCP server (macos-kanban) conforming strictly to the official MCP 2024-11-05 specification.
  • Let AI agents in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Antigravity create, inspect, update, and transition tickets directly in your local SQLite store.
  • Dual-Channel Real-time Sync: Desktop UI automatically updates in real-time with subtle agent toasts whenever your AI creates or moves tasks.
  • Token-authenticated stdio protocol guarded against unauthorized process access.

🎯 Relational Project Management & Keyboard Fluidity

  • Projects & Epics: Relational hierarchy with automatic progress rollups.
  • Ticket Graph: Track blocks and blocked-by dependencies with visual cycle prevention.
  • Subtasks & Notes: Task checklists with progress bars and rich markdown preview.
  • Spotlight Palette (⌘ + K): Search across all projects, switch workspaces, and run commands without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
  • Pomodoro Focus Timer: Integrated cadence clock with audio cues and macOS system notifications.
  • Eye-Comfort Gradients: Precision slate themes (Linear Dark & Pure Light) designed to eliminate eye strain during deep work.

🛡️ Argon2id Vault Security

  • Cryptographic vault authentication powered by Argon2id key derivation.
  • 256-bit mnemonic recovery phrases for password reset.
  • Zero analytics, zero crash reporting, and zero external network calls.
