Lanework is a native macOS kanban board whose boards are plain folders and Markdown files. Fast, fluid, and honest about your data: the filesystem is the source of truth, and the app is a beautiful live view over it.

MADE FOR THE MAC
Lanework feels like it shipped with macOS. One window per board, real menus and toolbars you can customize, system-native undo, and every size derived from your text settings. No web wrapper, no cross-platform chrome.

BOARDS ARE PLAIN FILES
Every board, lane, and card is a folder with a Markdown file inside — readable in any editor, synced by anything that syncs files, versioned however you like, and yours forever. There is no database, no account, and no server. Delete the app and your boards are still just folders.

WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS — AND YOUR AI AGENTS
Because boards are files, anything that can write files is a first-class user of your board: text editors, scripts, Finder, and AI agents. Edit a board from outside and the open window updates live, with changes announced and nothing overwritten. Lanework even writes a guide file into each board that teaches AI agents the format, so an agent dropped into the folder already knows how to add and move cards correctly.

CARDS WITH REAL CONTENT
Open any card in its own window: a formatted Markdown preview with clickable checklists, a fast editor with syntax highlighting, file attachments with Quick Look, and a raw-source view that shows you the literal file — nothing is hidden.

FAST TO DRIVE
Drag cards and lanes with buttery reflow, or never touch the mouse: the whole app works from the keyboard, from arrow-key navigation to drag-free card moves. Cut, copy, and paste cards across boards. Search filters the board as you type. Deleted cards land in a per-board trash you can open, restore from, or empty. Undo covers everything.

TEMPLATES
Start from ten bundled templates or save any board as your own. A template is itself just a board folder — drop one in, and it's a template.

ACCESSIBLE, PROPERLY
Full VoiceOver support with polite live announcements, Full Keyboard Access on every control, Reduce Motion and contrast accommodations throughout, and text colors computed for real readability on any board background.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no analytics, no network access. Your boards are local files that never leave your Mac unless you move them.
