About This Board
This is a fully local personal Kanban board. NO SERVER REQUIRED — everything runs in your browser and data is stored in localStorage.
Controls Menu
- Open the menu: Click the ellipsis (⋮) button in the header to open the controls dropdown.
- Boards: Switch boards, create a new board, or manage boards from the same menu.
- Other actions: Add Column, Manage Labels, Export, Import, Theme, and Help are all in this menu.
Boards
- Switch boards: Use the board dropdown to change the active board.
- Remembered selection: The last active board is restored when you return.
- Manage Boards: Open, rename, or delete boards (deletes always require confirmation; the last board cannot be deleted).
Tasks

- Edit: Click a task card to edit title, description, priority, due date, column, and labels.
- Move: Drag and drop tasks between columns to update status.

Columns
- Create: Use Add Column to create a new workflow stage.
- Edit/Delete: Use the column ellipsis menu.
- Reorder: Drag the grip icon on a column header to reorder columns.
- Deleting a column: If it contains tasks, you will be warned those tasks will also be deleted. The last column cannot be deleted.
Labels

- Assign: Edit a task to assign one or more labels.
- Task editor UX: Selected labels appear as pills, and the label list includes a search box for quick filtering.
- Delete: Deleting a label removes it from all tasks (confirmation required).
Data Storage & Persistence
- Local Storage: All data is stored in your browser’s
localStorage.
- No Server: The board runs locally (after loading the page).
- Browser Specific: Data is stored only in this browser on this device.
Import / Export (Backups)
- Export: Downloads the active board only (columns + tasks + labels) as a JSON file. It does not back up all boards.
- To back up all boards: Switch boards and export each one.
- Import: Loads a JSON file into the active board and overwrites its tasks, columns, and labels.
- Recommended: Create a new blank board first, switch to it, then click Import.
- IMPORTANT: If you care about your data, export regularly (clearing site data or using private browsing can delete
localStorage).
Keyboard Shortcuts
- Escape: Closes most modals.
- Backdrop click: Clicking outside the modal closes most modals.
Tips
- Export on a schedule (end of day / end of week) to avoid data loss.
- Use multiple boards to separate contexts (work, personal, projects).
- Use labels to categorize across columns (e.g., Urgent, Feature, Task).
