Our verdict on WipQ

WipQ is a card-based Kanban project-management application for solo professionals and small teams using Mac and iPhone or iPad. Its structure centers on customizable queues and folders, with cards supporting tasks, inter-card dependencies, priorities, categories, favorites, locking, attachments, and custom properties. Multiple card display themes provide additional ways to organize project information, while configurable work-in-progress limits help control how much work moves through each queue.

The free plan provides the Kanban project-management application with unlimited documents open, unlimited cards per queue, unlimited folders, and unlimited queues per folder. The pricing model is freemium, and the Mac and iOS listings also include one-time in-app purchases. WipQ stores data locally or in iCloud Drive instead of using a third-party web service. On macOS, projects can be exported in CSV, XML, and JSON formats, which gives Apple-based workflows a practical way to move project data into other tools.

WipQ fits buyers who want a focused Kanban workspace with local storage, configurable WIP limits, and detailed card organization within the Apple ecosystem. It is also suited to users who prefer exports and file-based control over a browser-dependent service. The narrower platform coverage limits its usefulness for Windows, Android, and mixed-device organizations. Buyers seeking integrations, automation, or built-in collaboration capabilities should choose a broader Kanban product instead; WipQ is better aligned with individual control and small-scale project organization than connected team workflows.
