WipQ
What WipQ is
WipQ is a Kanban project management app for solo professionals and small teams, with versions for macOS and iOS. Its boards use cards to represent work, with configurable work-in-progress limits and dependencies between cards. Cards can carry priorities, categories, attachments, custom properties, and display themes; users can also lock or favorite them. Custom queues and folders let users arrange work and workflows to suit their projects.
Project information is kept on the Mac or in iCloud Drive, rather than a third-party web service, and WipQ does not require a network connection or third-party login. Projects can be exported in CSV, XML, or JSON. The Mac app is described as working with WipQ for iOS and the free WipQ Viewer for iOS. The developer reports that the app collects no data, though Apple says it has not verified that privacy information. The free download includes in-app purchases for additional capacity. Separate one-time purchases are available for unlimited documents open ($2.99, paid once) and unlimited cards per queue, folders, or queues per folder ($4.99, paid once for each option). The Mac App Store listing requires macOS 13.0 or later.
