Brisqi is a personal Kanban app for the desktop, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is built around offline use, so boards, lists, and cards live on the user's own computer instead of in a web workspace. The company describes it as private, offline, and owned forever through a one-time license.
The app is made by a solo founder named Ash, who began building it in 2021 as a simple Kanban tool for his own side projects. It is deliberately focused on personal planning rather than team project management, and the company states that it does not track, monitor, or analyze user behavior.
Work is organized into boards, which can be placed in groups for different areas of life, such as work projects, academic assignments, or personal to-dos. Each board holds lists, and lists hold cards. A card can carry a Markdown description, subtasks, comments, labels, colors, and a due date.
Data stays on the local computer. Boards can be backed up to a custom location and exported to a CSV file. Sync across devices is optional and belongs to the separate Standard plan, while the one-time desktop licenses cover offline desktop use only.
Cards support Markdown formatting, subtasks, comments, labels, custom colors, and links to other cards. Hashtags add labels and due dates while a card is being created, and selected text can become a card from the right-click menu. Pasting a list separated by new lines creates one card per line, or one subtask per line.
For planning, the Upcoming Tasks Panel color-codes deadlines red, orange, or blue, and marks tasks finished early in green. A monthly calendar view lets users add tasks with a double-click. List Focus Mode dims other lists, and search and filters work by label or due date. Archiving, board copying, printing, and custom backgrounds are also included.
Brisqi is an offline-first personal Kanban app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It stores boards on the user's computer and is designed for individuals managing their own tasks and projects.
The Personal license costs $29.99 one-time for one computer, and the Basic license costs $49.99 one-time for up to three computers. A Business license is listed at $34.99 with a two-pack minimum, and the Standard cloud plan is $80 per year per user.
Yes. The free version allows 2 boards, 5 lists per board, and 5 labels. Paid licenses remove these limits to allow unlimited boards, lists, labels, and cards.
Yes. The desktop app is built around offline use and keeps data on the user's computer. Sync is optional and belongs to the separate Standard plan.
Brisqi is built for personal Kanban rather than team collaboration, according to the company. Teams needing shared boards would likely want a different tool, though a Business license exists for buying more than three desktop activations.
Each one-time license includes one year of updates, and the site says users can keep using their activated version forever. The pricing page lists this as a frequently asked question, but its answer is not shown in the available text.
Yes. The company offers a full refund if the user contacts them within 30 days of purchase.
The company states that Brisqi does not track, monitor, or analyze user behavior and has no in-app monitoring or usage analytics.
