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 RentRedi?

RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.

RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

Kanri vs RentRedi: 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.

R7.5

RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.

◆ Current state

RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

◆ Where it's heading

October's releases served landlords with staff: team chat access, payment filters, receipts and dark mode. Tenant Certificate adds a tenant-side growth loop, because landlords who receive a certificate are asked to create a RentRedi account. Maintenance is becoming a hub for partner updates like Lessen's.

◆ Prediction

Expect Tenant Certificate data to feed into screening or applications inside RentRedi, and the read-only Lessen timeline to gain replies.
