In their own words
KanbanFlow
KanbanFlow is a lean project management tool for personal or team productivity, with customizable boards, task tracking, and time tracking. Boards can use work-in-progress limits, subtasks, swimlanes, filters, recurring tasks, and task relations. Users can record time with a Pomodoro timer, stopwatch, or manual logging. Reports include cumulative flow, burndown, throughput, cycle and lead time charts, and Monte Carlo forecasting. The service supports Excel and CSV imports, exports to Excel, CSV, XML, and JSON, email task creation, a REST API, webhooks, and Zapier. Premium users can attach files from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Box; KanbanFlow stores links and metadata rather than the attached file contents. It offers mobile web access and links to iPhone and Android apps. The free plan has no time limit and includes a Kanban board and standard support. Premium costs $5 a month, with a 10% discount for annual payment.
