Field notes
Kani stores cards, columns, notes, tags, pictures, and tracked time in the browser rather than on a server. Its transfer mechanism is deliberately explicit: export the whole board to a file, then import it on another computer. The same cards feed four views, including a timeline that packs dated work into non-overlapping lanes and a summary with a heat grid and thirty-day trends. Keyboard users can use Ctrl K to find cards or move them between columns.
