Nullboard
Nullboard is a minimalist, single-page kanban board that focuses on compactness and readability. It is a local web app — you open a single HTML file in your browser and your boards live entirely in your browser’s storage. Despite its simplicity, Nullboard packs in features like board cloning, custom card styling, notes, and a lightweight backup system, making it a refreshingly uncluttered alternative to feature-heavy project management tools.
Key Features
- Single-page simplicity — One HTML file, no installation, no server, no account — just open and use.
- Compact, readable layout — Dense kanban columns designed for quickly scanning many tasks at a glance.
- Local storage — Boards are saved in your browser’s local storage; no data leaves your machine.
- Board cloning and reuse — Clone boards for recurring workflows like weekly planning or sprints.
- Customisable cards — Card colours, tags, notes, and checklist-style content with lightweight formatting.

- Backup and restore — Export and import board data as JSON for safety and portability.
- Keyboard friendly — Fast navigation and card creation with keyboard shortcuts.
Why Use Nullboard?
Nullboard is perfect when you want a kanban board without any of the surrounding machinery.

It is an excellent choice for personal planning, quick brainstorming, or anyone who finds most task apps overwhelmingly feature-heavy.
