Kanban Boards Built for Design Thinking
Designers think visually. Your task manager should too. Solocrafter's Kanban boards let you visualize your entire design process.
- Concept → Wireframe → Design → Review → Final
- See your entire design pipeline at a glance
- Move tasks between stages with drag-and-drop
- Switch to list view for focused execution
Your Design Work Stays Private
Working with clients means handling sensitive information—brand redesigns, unreleased products, confidential mockups. Your task manager should respect that.

- Syncs through YOUR personal iCloud account
- Never used for AI training or analytics
- No third-party servers see your client details
