About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Kanri is a Tauri/Nuxt offline Kanban desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It manages boards, columns, cards, subtasks, due dates, and tags in a local JSON file without requiring an account or internet connection.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Manage boards, cards, and subtasks fully offline

Custom columns, rich-text descriptions, subtasks, due dates, and tags support normal Kanban workflows without a cloud service.

Move data through Trello import and JSON export

Basic Trello import plus granular or full export make the board data portable instead of tied to a hosted account.

Sources: [2]

For personal Kanban workflows that should stay on the local machine

It fits users who want a simple board without accounts, collaboration SaaS, or mandatory network access.

Sources: [2]

Treat it as an active-development project and review licensing boundaries

The README recommends regular backups during active development. Most code is GPLv3, some files use other licenses, and branding is separately copyrighted.

Supplemental curator note

Kanri deliberately avoids built-in cloud sync and focuses on a simple offline Kanban workflow. Most code is GPLv3, some files use Apache-2.0 or other licenses, and the Kanri name/logo/branding are not open source, so redistribution should review file-level and branding terms.
