Lane Changer

The missing Kanban for Apple Reminders.

Apple Reminders is reliable, but as your list grows it gets harder to see the big picture. Lane Changer gives you a visual board view—see what's due today, this week, and further out at a glance.

The Vision

Apple Reminders keeps your tasks safe and synced across all your devices. Lane Changer adds the board view on top—without replacing Reminders or requiring yet another account. It reads and writes directly to your existing Reminders data via iCloud.

Key Features

Native Apple Reminders Integration

  • Powered by Apple Reminders: Lane Changer isn't a new system—it sits on top of your existing Reminders. Add tasks via Siri, Apple Watch, or the Reminders app. They appear in Lane Changer instantly.
  • Instant Sync: Changes made in Lane Changer update Reminders immediately, and vice versa. No syncing lag, no separate database.
  • Privacy by Design: Your tasks never leave your iCloud. No third-party servers, no accounts, no tracking.

Intelligent Kanban Boards

Tasks are automatically sorted into lanes based on their due dates:

Overdue & TodayFocus on what needs to happen now.
TomorrowPrepare for the next day.
This Week / Next WeekMedium-term commitments.
LaterFuture goals on hold.
No Due DateBacklog for someday tasks.

Drag-and-drop rescheduling: Drag a task into a different lane and Lane Changer updates the due date in Apple Reminders for you.

Advanced Task Management

  • Markdown Subtasks: Break projects into steps using checklists stored in your reminder notes—still fully readable in the standard Reminders app.
  • Priority Flags: High, Medium, and Low priority marked visually so fires stand out immediately.
  • Bulk Move: Move all tasks from one lane to another in one tap—useful for rolling over a day's tasks to the next.

Personalisation & Control

  • Per-List Boards: Each reminder list can have its own board configuration—which lanes are visible, how they look.
  • Pinned Lists: Keep your most-used lists (Work, Home, Side Project) pinned for instant switching.
  • Visual Themes: Customise lane colours and backgrounds to suit your workspace.

Built for the Apple Ecosystem

  • Universal App: Native experience across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.
  • Interactive Widgets: Put your Overdue & Today lane on your Home Screen or Desktop.
  • SwiftUI: Fast, fluid, and efficient on Apple hardware.
