Kard

Your first card

Create your first task in Kard. By the end, you’ll have a task with a title, a status, and saved to your project — visible on screen.

Kard is local-first: your Kards are stored as standard assets inside your project, so there’s no account or server to set up. New here? The vocabulary (Kards, folders, statuses) lives in Core concepts.
