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

We show these live at the Klaro Cards Sessions — online and free, with a replay afterwards. Join us!

A new look, and a theme you choose

One design system, three apps

Klaro Cards now wears its 2026 brand. The application, the website and the mobile app draw from one design system: a single shape for every dropdown, one height for every field, and buttons, modals, tabs, badges, avatars and empty states drawn once instead of eight times over.

Signing in, signing up and resetting a password have left their dialogs for pages of their own. The workspaces bar, the board header and the settings screens have been rebuilt around cards, rows and badges.

Light, Midnight, Auto

The most visible consequence: a theme you choose. The user menu now opens on three of them — Midnight being a dark theme, Auto following whatever your device is set to.

Picking one applies it straight away, so you see what you are choosing; leaving without saving puts back what you had. The choice belongs to the screen rather than to the account, and it holds across every project you open on that device.

Getting your cards in

Add multiple cards, from a paste or a spreadsheet

"Add multiple cards" used to be a list of titles to retype. That list usually exists already — in a mail, in a spreadsheet — so you now hand it over as it is.

Paste it, or drop a file and go through three steps: hand it over, see what was made of it and put right what was not, then confirm. Each column is matched to a dimension, and can be rematched. The defaults every card gets sit beside the preview. And the preview says, row by row, what will be created, what will be changed and what will be left alone — and why.

Values a column names that your project does not have yet are created along the way, and a column can fill a link to another card, by card title or by card number. The board tools' old import did less than this screen, and is gone: its menu entry now opens "Add multiple cards" on its file tab.

More than one long text per card

A card had exactly one Markdown sheet: its description. Projects want more — acceptance criteria, meeting notes, a brief.

Long text is now an ordinary kind of dimension, installed from the catalogue like any other, and each one gets a sheet of its own on the card, the description first. The history still shows, line by line, what changed in it.

Boards show what you choose

Which columns a board shows

Until now a board derived its groups from something else — its values, its cards. It answers four ways now: all columns, only the columns with cards, only the columns from the filters, or the columns you choose — drawn in the order you picked them.

A matrix chooses along its rows and its columns at once, and the mobile app follows what the board is set to.

The gantt chart, redrawn

Today is marked, the bars are readable and tiered, the card column stays put while the chart scrolls, and a milestone sits on its date at every scale. Two crashes went with it. While we were there, a collapsed matrix row or column expands from anywhere along it.

Metrics follow the boards

The same groups as the board

A metric charting the same cards as a board can now show the same groups, with the same four answers and the same value picker. A chart tracked from a board carries over what that board was showing.

The colours of your own values

Charts wear the colours your project gives its dimension values. One coloured value is enough for the chart to use them, and the buckets nobody coloured take a grey of their own rather than a palette colour that would invent a meaning.

Numbers that refresh themselves

The metrics screen now reloads its values when the background recompute moves one, instead of showing whatever was true when the page opened. Grouping by "In step since" offers date buckets, like the other dates do.

People, and the applications you connect

Invitations, where you need them

An invitation is about the workspaces someone lands in, not about the board it was sent from. You can now invite people by email from the workspaces aside and from the members screen, for the project as a whole.

Integrations and granted access

Project settings now holds the applications the project connects. List your integrations, reissue a secret that leaked, delete one, see every grant — what it may act on, who gave it, when it was last used — and revoke it, which takes effect immediately rather than within the hour.

An integration's redirect URI can be set after the fact, the consent screen takes the whole page, and the authentication rate limits count each caller apart from the next, answering a plain 429 when one is reached.

For developers, and for AI agents

An API reference you can read

The reference has been rebuilt. It is ordered by resource, nested schemas open and close instead of arriving as thirty flat rows, it is searchable, and it is served from your own instance — fonts included — so it works on an air-gapped deployment.

Beside it, a first integration guide walks six real calls, from a password to a comment on a card, each one using what the call before it answered.

An MCP server, and a Claude plugin

Our MCP server is now published in the MCP registry, and the Klaro Cards skills ship as a Claude plugin, so the connector and the skills that use it install together; Gemini and Copilot have instructions of their own.

Agents gained tools, too: create and reshape a workspace, read the discussion on a card, write a note onto a dashboard. And every tool now states what it does to your project, so a client can tell a read from a write before running it.

Mobile app 1.8

Several accounts on one device

The app holds every account you are signed in to — an account being a user on an instance — and switches between them with a tap, tokens kept in the Keychain on iOS and under the AndroidKeyStore on Android. Adding an account no longer signs you out of the one you were using.

The gallery, search, and swipes set at a desk

The attachment gallery saves a file to the phone, and reads emails, reports and notes. You can search every card from the boards list. And the swipe gestures of a Casino board, which could only be bound from the phone, are now set from the desktop board settings — a board prepared at a desk no longer has to be picked up again to say what each direction does.

Version 1.8 is rolling out to the stores.

Smaller things you will notice

• An untagged card is called "To sort" rather than "No value" — in your own language
• Contextual menus are three dots everywhere, open on click, and are no longer clipped by the edge of the screen
• Boards refresh in real time by default
• A preference says how the workspaces aside opens: everything folded, everything unfolded, or as you left it
• The dimensions screen is scoped by card kind, and a project's dimensions are read in its own order
• Adding a dimension value whose name collides with something you cannot see keeps the value instead of refusing it, and an error now names the dimension or the value that is in the way
• A comment can be copied straight from a card's history
• Duplicating a project or instantiating a template chooses what the copies carry: the original timeline, or one creation point per card
• Changing a project's subdomain carries its files along, instead of leaving the attachments behind
• Markdown attachments render as documents in the gallery, frontmatter included
• The guides wear the Klaro Cards design system

Website, guides and modules

Our website has been rebuilt around sectors and preconfigured modules, each with a commented demo you can watch before asking for one, and a solutions catalogue you can actually read. A white paper on operational friction is available from the home page.

The blog and the guides are easier to find and to read: canonical URLs, structured data, sitemaps and an index for LLMs, videos we host ourselves embedded like any other, and a language switcher that remembers what you picked.
