What WipQ is
WipQ is a card-based Kanban project management app for solo professionals and small teams, available on iOS and macOS. Its boards support configurable work-in-progress limits and dependencies between cards. Cards can be locked or favorited, and can hold priorities, categories, file attachments, display themes, and custom properties. Users can customize queues and folders to organize projects and workflows. Project data stays on the Mac or in iCloud Drive rather than a third-party web service; no network connection or third-party login is required. Projects can be exported to CSV, XML, and JSON. The Mac app is described as integrated with WipQ for iOS and the free WipQ Viewer for iOS. The developer reports that the app does not collect data, though Apple says that privacy information has not been verified. The free download has in-app purchases: unlimited documents open costs $2.99, paid once, while unlimited cards per queue, folders, and queues per folder each cost $4.99, paid once. The Mac App Store listing requires macOS 13.0 or later.
