Kanri vs Process Street: at a glance
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 Process Street?
Process Street's public feed is an SEO content engine, not a changelog.
Nothing in this feed reports a product change. It runs a steady daily-ish cadence of evergreen business content — risk management primers, business writing advice, an MBTI personality explainer, a compliance audit walkthrough — interleaved with lead-generation assets built around free Process Playbook checklists and product how-tos like an employee onboarding automation guide. The one item with substance behind it is a customer story on a healthcare practice cutting insurance appeals prep from 15 minutes to under 2, which reads as a compliance-ops proof point rather than a release.

◆ 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.

◆ Where it's heading
The company positions itself as a compliance operations platform in its own feed signature, and the content is being steered to match: PHI handling, appeals packets, audit readiness, risk assessment and controls now sit alongside the older generic productivity material. Some of that older material is being recirculated rather than retired — a 2021 milestone retrospective carries a current date in this window, so the feed is partly an archive re-dump. Product direction cannot be read here at all.
◆ Prediction
Expect more compliance and regulated-industry content to displace the generic productivity posts, but this feed will keep carrying no release information, so any actual product movement will have to be observed elsewhere.
