Do not take our word for it: watch the network
On a computer, open your browser tools, switch to the Network tab and use the widget above. The tasks you write are never sent: there is no upload on this page. You will see two kinds of rows: our own code arriving from this address, and visit statistics for Yandex Metrica, PostHog and nopa’s own counter. The statistics say that the page was opened and the tool used, never what is in it.

What you can plan here
The board grows into a planner
Rename the columns, add your own, drag cards between them. Each card holds notes, a checklist, tags, a due date and a reminder. Repeating tasks roll themselves forward when you finish them. The same tasks also draw as bars on a timeline, so you can see what overlaps.
Columns you name, cards you drag
Build your own board, name the columns, drag cards between them. Or work the same tasks as a plain list. It is the same card either way.
The same tasks, drawn along time
Give a task a start and a due date and it becomes a bar. Drag it to move the work, pull an edge to change how long it takes, or click a day to plan something there. Days, weeks or months, and no seat to buy for the view.
What people keep in it
-
A move, column by column
Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Done. A card moves when its status does, and its priority and due date go with it.
-
The weeks ahead
Every task with dates is a bar from its start to its due date. Drag it to move it; pull its edge to give it more time.
-
Everything on one list
Grouped by when it is due, with how far each checklist has got and which tasks repeat.

What Local Kanban Board can do
A card holds more than a title
Each task carries a priority, due date, a checklist of subtasks, and notes. Set a reminder, or make a task recurring (daily, weekly, monthly), and it rolls forward when you complete it.
Where your tasks are kept
The board on this page lasts until you reload. Download the list or open Tasks to keep it. In Tasks, every board is saved in this browser as you type.
How this differs from a cloud task board
Trello and Notion do far more, and they are built for teams. They also start with a signup, and your board sits in their account. Here is the trade.
| How this differs from a cloud task board | Local Kanban Board | Cloud task boards |
|---|---|---|
| Signup to start | Not needed | Required |
| Where the board lives | In your browser | In their account |
| Works offline | Yes | Partly |
| The same board on another device | Only by exporting it | Yes |
| Shared team boards | No | Yes |
| Depth of the toolset | Simpler | Deeper |
Nothing syncs anywhere
Every change is saved in this browser the moment you make it, and the board opens instantly because there is nothing to fetch. Moving it to another device means exporting it. That is the cost of keeping it off a server.
- Saved as you type: no save button, no sync spinner
- Reminders and due dates in your language, offline
- Download the list as CSV, or copy it as a Markdown checklist
Your board is one click away
The tasks you added here come along to the Kanban view, ready for your own columns, due dates and reminders.

Can I drag tasks between columns?
Yes, right here between Inbox, Today and Done. On a phone, tap the button on a card to move it to the next column. Tasks in nopa adds boards with your own columns.
Can I create my own columns?
Yes, in Tasks. New project makes a project with its own board, starting with To do, In progress and Done. Add a column with New Column in the project’s menu or at the end of the board, then rename, reorder or delete columns as you need.
Is there a Gantt chart?
There is a Timeline view: each task is a bar from its start date to its due date, read by day, week or month, and you can link one task to another to show which comes first. It has no assignees or shared plans, so it is not a full Gantt chart.
Can I group boards into projects?
Each project is one board with its own columns, not a folder of boards. New project makes one, and picking it narrows the list, the timeline and the export to that project. Deleting a project does not delete its tasks.
Can I get my tasks out?
Yes. On this page, Download gives a numbered .txt list. In Tasks, download the list as CSV or Markdown, copy it, or back up the whole desktop as one JSON file.
Can I import tasks from this page?
Yes. Click Open the free desktop and your task list appears in Tasks on the Kanban view.
What happens if I close the tab?
The board on this page lives only in the tab. Download the list first, or open it in Tasks. Tasks saves every change to this browser as you make it, so closing the tab or the browser loses nothing there.
Will I get reminders when nopa is closed?
No. Reminders come from nopa itself, not from a server, so they go off while nopa is open, in a tab or as an installed app. Switch on Browser notifications in Settings → Reminders to see them over other windows; one that came due while nopa was closed is waiting the next time you open it.
Can I have my tasks on my phone and my laptop?
Not as one synced list: there is no account and no copy of your tasks on a server to sync through, so each browser keeps its own. To move them, back up the desktop from Settings → Data and import the file on the other device. That is a snapshot, not a live sync.
What if my laptop is stolen?
Your tasks sit in this browser like your other files on the device: whoever can log into your computer can open them, and nobody else. There is no nopa account to break into and nothing of yours on our servers. Keep a backup from Settings → Data wherever you keep your other backups.
Can my team work on the same board?
No. Nothing leaves your browser, so there is no server for a team to share a board through. To show where things stand, copy the list or send it as CSV or Markdown.
What if I clear my browser data?
Clearing nopa's site data deletes the tasks stored in this browser, because that is where they live. Back them up first from Settings → Data, where you can also ask the browser not to clear nopa when the disk runs low.
