What is Kanri?

An offline-first kanban app whose solo maintainer has been quiet for ten months.

Kanri is a desktop-only, offline-first kanban board built on Tauri and maintained largely by one developer with community translation help. The last three releases pushed it past the basics into territory where it can replace a hosted board for a single user: tags, due dates, property-filtered search, and multilanguage support. Nothing has shipped since September 2025.

What is My Hours?

My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.

10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

Kanri vs My Hours: editorial side-by-side

K0.0

An offline-first kanban app whose solo maintainer has been quiet for ten months.

◆ Current state

Kanri is a desktop-only, offline-first kanban board built on Tauri and maintained largely by one developer with community translation help. The last three releases pushed it past the basics into territory where it can replace a hosted board for a single user: tags, due dates, property-filtered search, and multilanguage support. Nothing has shipped since September 2025.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc from v0.5 to v0.8 is a march toward parity with Trello for the local-first case — import paths from Trello and GitHub Projects first, then the tags and due dates those imports carry, then search that filters on them. Release intervals stretched from weeks to months to nearly a year, and the maintainer said v0.8.2 was held back by dependency migrations and Linux compatibility work.

◆ Prediction

The visible pattern is a long silence followed by one bundled release, so a v0.8.3 or v0.9 collecting deferred fixes and new translations is the likeliest next move. Ten months without a tag gives no basis for a date.

M5.0

My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.

◆ Current state

10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

◆ Where it's heading

My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.

◆ Prediction

Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
