Few lines. Clear structure.

Kendoshi was built by someone with ADHD. That is why there are few lines, few frames and no colourful dashboards: edges instead of boxes, tinted chips instead of solid colour, full saturation only for a dot or a two-pixel edge. If it doesn't inform, it isn't there.

For years I adapted to the tool, never the other way round. One app had the entry line I loved but no board. A board tool had the overview, but every row looked like an emergency, and the bill ran per person, per month. Others wanted me to build a system before I was allowed to start. That is my experience, not a verdict on those programs.

Here you don't need to build a system to begin. One line in quick entry is enough. Kendoshi picks up the date, priority and project itself. Structure may grow later: folders, projects, groups, custom columns.

The app grew out of the daily work of a music project and an independent label. It is used there by the team every day, with real deadlines, not with sample data.

Folders, projects, groups, tasks. Status, priority, person, start, due date, plus custom columns for a link, text, number or checkbox. Drag rows and groups into place, duplicate groups and projects as templates.

Every level gets a colour that stays visible as a two-pixel edge on the table. You recognise a project before you read it.

“Finish mix tomorrow 3pm p1 #album every week” becomes a task with date, time, priority, project and recurrence. English and German are both recognised.

On the Mac it is also a floating panel on a keyboard shortcut, from any app. Without a project everything lands in the inbox; you can tidy up later.

Dictate the task and Kendoshi works out the rest. The dictation comes from Apple and works in any text field; what Kendoshi adds is the finished task.

My Work collects everything open, across projects, sorted by day, date, project or priority. My Day lays the day out in six blocks from morning to evening and suggests what is urgent or overdue.

From five planned tasks the counter turns orange. On purpose: a due date is a deadline, a day block is an intention, and dragging never changes the date.

So the morning doesn't start with forty equally loud items, but with a day where the choice has already been made.

Move tasks directly in the calendar. The start date moves with them. Show events from Apple Calendar, subscribe to external calendars via ICS link (dashed, display only).

The timeline shows start to due date as a bar across weeks, grouped by project or group.

Kendoshi contains no language model and sends nothing to a provider on its own. On the Mac, in solo mode, you can switch on a local access point through which your own AI client reads, creates and updates tasks.

That is what makes this workflow possible: you throw a raw thought into the inbox, and the sorting and filing happen later, not by hand. Tasks that come up in conversation with your AI end up in the project instead of in a chat log nobody opens again.

The access point is off by default, reachable only on your own machine, requires a token you generate yourself, and runs only while the app is open.

Every task also has an AI button: break it down into steps, clarify it, or find a first step to get started. Without a key, Kendoshi builds the prompt and you send it to Claude or any other AI yourself. With your own API key, Kendoshi asks before the first request and then shows the suggestion, which you apply with one click, for example as subtasks.
