A Kanban board in LibreOffice Calc using macros (100% local and private)
Hello everyone!
I wanted to share a personal project (something simple) that I've been working on, and that I hope can be useful for those who, like me, prefer to organize their workflows in a purely local way and without relying on external services.
The problem I wanted to solve
I needed a tool to organize my daily projects, but traditional apps require an internet connection, user accounts, and subscription plans.
To solve this, I decided to develop a LibreOffice Calc template managed solely by Basic macros.
By structuring the file with a database approach, I obtained a private system over which I have complete control:
- Works 100% offline.
- There is no telemetry,
- no logs or third-party servers
- your data remains strictly on your computer in an .ods file.
Link to the project (Open Source)
I have uploaded the template and all the macro code to a GitHub repository under the MIT license so that anyone can use it however they want without restrictions.

Note: It is currently in beta, but it is fully functional—I use it daily myself. Very soon, it will be receiving updates to reach v1.0.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, constructive criticism, or bug reports to keep polishing the tool. I hope you find it useful!
