The record

Product: Doska is a local-first Kanban board whose cards are Markdown files.
Offline use: Boards are stored locally and the app works offline; sync runs on top when configured.
Markdown cards: Card bodies support GitHub-flavored Markdown, task lists, card links, deadlines and priorities.
Board tools: Features include a row view, sortable deadlines and priorities, search, sidebar folders and undo for deleted cards.
File sync: The desktop app can sync boards both ways with a local folder, using folders for columns and Markdown files for cards.
Server sync: Cross-device sync and shared boards require a self-hosted server running with Docker and Docker Compose.
Sharing: On a self-hosted server, admins create accounts and board owners can share boards or publish read-only links.
Integrations: Self-hosted single sign-on supports any OpenID Connect provider, including Authentik, Keycloak, Pocket ID and Google.
AI agent integration: An MCP endpoint lets connected agents read and edit boards, with tools for board and card management and search.
Attachments: Attachments require a sync server and can be stored on the server or in an S3-compatible bucket; the default single-file upload limit is 25 MiB.
Security: MCP access is protected by OAuth, and the agent only sees boards belonging to the signed-in account.
Backups: The installer backs up existing data before redeploying; the backup guide covers the bundled database and local files volume.
Platforms: Doska runs in a browser or as a phone PWA; desktop builds are available for macOS, Windows beta and Linux beta.
Development status: Doska is in active development, and the maker directs users to GitHub to report bugs and request features.
