I love using this app, it's everything I need to stay organized, and it can easily be used as a personal Kanban board. However, if I leave the application open (MacOS) it will eventually hang and become unresponsive, showing the spinning rainbow wheel whenever the mouse hovers over the window. 100% of the time when I come back to work on monday the application is frozen. 50% of the time it's frozen overnight from one day to the next. Fortunately force stopping and re-opening the app is all that's needed, and none of my data has been lost. If not for the freezing, this app would be a solid 5.

An elegantly simple way to work smart. I've had different GTDs to which I could attach notes, documents, link to web sites, add to do lists, set tasks with deadlines, even utilize columns, for Kanban or just section divisions. None that allowed me to attach emails. This one does all these things - attachments no more difficult than drag and drop. I've set up complex projects in minutes. The app uses a link to reference a card from events in the calendar, which hasn't been an issue for me, as it is integrating with Apple's Calendar, a free resource, I already have and use. Help could be a little more comprehensive, however, I was up and running in minutes, referring to it only briefly. Full disclosure: in a couple of weeks usage, the app crashed once, there was no data loss. Very smart app, very smart buy. Check it out.

I’m trying out multiple Kanban-centric apps, and I love the look of TidyCards. The card formatting is excellent, a very cool feature.There are some features I wish would improve. The column titles are tiny, especially compared to the cards. Being able to change the UI appearance, or even to switch on dark mode, would be helpful. I’d love the option to have narrower columns. But there’s a problem that renders TidyCards essentially unusable: if it’s open for a while, it hangs.Running Sonoma.I noticed a few days ago that my M1 MBP's battery was draining rapidly -- and it was HOT above the keyboard! Nothing was using significant memory. Only by checking every open process did I discover that TidyCards was frozen and had to be force quit. Once I force-quit TidyCards, the MBP surface cooled down within a few minutes, and battery usage was back to normal.TidyCards hasn't been updated in 2 years according to the App Store listing. Even though the developer replied to a couple of reviews a year ago, I have to assume the app is not being supported. At minimum, this issue with hanging and heating up the laptop needs to be resolved. That's a shame, because it could be a really solid contender.

I'm a minimalist. I like native apps, and I like them to do just one thing and do it well. I wanted a dedicated Mac app for super basic kanban. Trello does kanban, but it's way too heavy. Lots of apps have a kanban feature, but same problem. TidyCards is currently the best Mac native, dedicated kanban app. To be quite honest, it's not a great app; it could be better designed, and it tends to stutter a bit. That said, it does the job. It's simple, it's solid enough, and it does kanban. If you just want kanban and nothing else, this is the best app out there at the moment.
