Overview

What it is

A few months ago I started looking for a simple kanban board to manage all my tasks, as I was getting crazy with the load of work I had. I spent weeks looking for one that was private, offline, that wasn't bloated with a ton of useless features. So I built Sprout 🌱, a simple and native Kanban board for Mac. - No accounts - No noise (0 notifications, ads, useless features) - 100% private (it uses CoreData and iCloud).

Intent

I need it when

Maintain complete privacy and data ownership for sensitive project information

Sprout uses CoreData and iCloud for offline-ready, encrypted syncing with no external servers, and allows full data export to JSON, ensuring users retain complete control over their project data.

Organize personal projects and tasks with a visual Kanban workflow

Sprout provides a native macOS Kanban board with customizable columns and drag-and-drop task management, enabling users to visualize work progress and maintain focus without account setup or sync complexity.

Use a lightweight, distraction-free task management tool optimized for Mac

Sprout is built as a native macOS app with minimal design and fast performance, eliminating web-based overhead and providing a focused interface that prioritizes task visibility over feature bloat.

Start task management without commitment or upfront cost

Sprout offers free access to core Kanban features with optional paid tiers ($0.99/month, $9.99/year, or $49.99 lifetime), allowing users to evaluate the tool risk-free before upgrading.
