September 2026 release on dedicated instances: what's new in Klaro Cards

We're showing it all live at Klaro Cards Session #14, on Wednesday 16 September at 12:30.

Online and free. Join us! A replay will be available shortly.

History and comments

Klaro Cards now shows a card's full history in a new tab. Every change, every attachment, every link between cards is there. Timestamped and signed. You can also add comments.

You can also undo a single change, or restore the card to a chosen point in its history. This is not history being rewritten — data integrity comes first — but inverse changes re-applied. To keep things readable, the screen automatically hides a run of changes that were undone later on.

Metrics and dashboards

You create a metric — a card count, or the sum, average, minimum or maximum of a numeric dimension — you group it by the dimension of your choice, and you place it on the dashboard. That dashboard becomes your workspace's home page.

No fiddly drag and drop: the grid adjusts itself by splitting cells. Bars, lines, pie or donut — the chart follows the reading you want to give the number. Grouped by a date — due date, creation, last update — the metric aggregates by day, week, month, quarter or year. Track the budget committed per quarter, say, or the number of incoming requests per week.

A cell can also hold free text rather than a chart: a section heading, the definition of an indicator, a link to the meeting where the number gets discussed. Enough to make the dashboard readable by someone who wasn't there when it was built.

A catalogue of ready-made metrics is available too, and if you're used to quantifying at the bottom of your columns, Klaro Cards offers to turn that into a metric. Click & go, and you're tracking the numbers that matter.

Finally, a number is only useful if you can go and see what lies behind it. Click a bar, a slice or a point: Klaro Cards asks which board should open the cards concerned — offering only those that can actually show them — and takes you straight there. The spike that surprises you becomes a list of cards in two clicks.

User experience improvements

This new version also comes with many interface improvements:

A cleaner screen, with visually lighter cards
A board-saving mechanism that is simpler (one menu instead of two) and more explicit (contextual help)
Menus now open on click rather than on hover, and are no longer clipped by the edge of the screen
Dimension lists are everywhere restricted to the dimensions that make sense in your context, sorted and searchable
Selecting cards in boards and workspaces is more intuitive, with special handling of card kinds and archiving
The attachment gallery supports emails, HTML, markdown, images, videos, PDFs and many other formats. An email can open straight in Gmail, and a board can be set so that clicking a card opens the gallery on a single content type: a board of photos or of reports then opens on the document, not on the form
Guides open in a side panel, without leaving the application

Mobile app 1.7

The mobile app has had a makeover too, and follows the new features closely: attachments, a card's activity and history, sorting cards by swiping, iOS and Android sharing to create cards, and Klaro Cards links that open straight in the app.

Version 1.7, available on the stores during September, makes it easier to connect to your dedicated instance from the login screen, or by following a shared link.

New website, new commercial approach

Our website has had a makeover, and reflects a new commercial approach.

We now offer preconfigured modules that reduce operational friction for SMEs. We would be delighted to show them to you in a demo, if any of those problems sound familiar. We are also opening partner and reseller programmes on attractive terms. Contact Thomas to join the programme.

Your feedback is welcome!

Such an update naturally calls for user feedback. Bug reports, improvements, ideas—we want to hear about your needs and wishes. Feel free to join the community on Slack, or simply contact the support team by email.
