Unload what's swirling. Move forward with intent. Clear Mind Kanban is a calm, simple task board with three columns: To Do (your brain dump), Doing and Done. It keeps you to six tasks in progress at a time, so you finish things instead of starting more.

  • Capture fast: type a task, pick a category (Work, Home, Health or Personal) and press Enter. Press N or / anywhere to jump back to the box. The last category you chose is remembered.
  • Move cards your way: drag them with the mouse, or use the arrow buttons on each card.
  • A limit of 6 in Doing: a 7th task is politely refused ("Finish something first"), and the column and counter turn coral when it is full.
  • Edit in place (Enter saves, Escape cancels), delete with Undo, and Done tasks are crossed out. "Clear All" empties Done after asking you first.
  • Live counters for Backlog, Active and Finished, and each card shows when it was added ("5h ago", "Oct 11").
  • Backup: Export saves your board as a JSON file; Import brings it back, either merged with your current board (tasks already there are not doubled) or replacing it.

Private by design: no account, no subscription, no server. Your tasks are saved in your browser, on your device, and are never sent anywhere. Only the typefaces and icons are fetched from the web (Google Fonts and the Font Awesome library), and the board works without them.

A digital download: one HTML file, delivered after purchase.

What you get: one file, cmKanban.html (about 48 KB), that opens in your web browser. Nothing to install. With an internet connection it shows its own typefaces and icons; without one, everything still works: adding, moving, editing, deleting, export and import. The board then uses your computer's own font and plain symbols (arrows, a pencil, a cross) for the icons, so every button stays labelled. Tested in Google Chrome on a computer, at desktop width and at phone width.

Quick start: 1. Save the file somewhere you will find it again (for example Documents) and double-click it. 2. Type what's on your mind in the box "What's swirling in your head?", choose a category and press Enter. 3. Move up to six tasks into Doing with the arrow or by dragging. 4. When one is finished, move it to Done. 5. Press Export now and then to keep a backup file.

Good to know: your board is kept in the browser you open it in (on that computer): clearing that browser's site data erases it, so use Export for a backup, and Import to move the board to another browser or computer. The Doing limit is fixed at 6, the four categories are fixed, and a task can be up to 200 characters. Undo for a deleted task is offered for a few seconds. Cards in Done move back with their arrow button rather than by dragging. There is no dark mode. On a narrow screen the columns stack one above another; whether a downloaded .html file opens on a phone depends on the phone, and it has not been tested on a real phone (use the arrow buttons there rather than dragging).
