Your Data, Your Drive
We created BanKan out of frustration with SaaS sprawl. You already use Google Workspace for almost everything else—why learn and manage yet another heavy third-party project management tool?
With BanKan, there is no separate cloud, no mystery servers holding your proprietary tasks, and no vendor lock-in. Everything lives exclusively in your Google Drive as a standard spreadsheet.
We just provide a beautiful, lightweight UX on top of the tools you already trust. And because you own the underlying spreadsheet data natively, there is absolutely zero "offboarding"—if you leave, your data is still exactly where it always was.
How it Works
Turn chaos into clarity in three simple steps.
Connect Drive
Link your Google account
Import Tools
Bring data from Asana, ClickUp, or Trello
Start Managing
Organize your projects!
Privacy First. Always.
BanKan only ever accesses the specific spreadsheets it creates. We have absolutely zero access to the rest of your Google Drive files. Your data stays completely in your control.
What is a Bankan?
The Kawachi Bankan (河内晩柑) is a bright, refreshing Japanese citrus fruit, often compared to an oversized grapefruit or pomelo. Known for its sweet, juicy pulp and subtle tartness, it's a staple of sunny summer harvests in Japan.
But more importantly, BanKan is a cheeky play on the word Kanban.
We wanted a tool that handles your tasks just as cleanly as a kanban board, but without the corporate bloat. Fresh, simple, and straightforward—just like the fruit. It's the anti-kanban for people who prefer beautiful simplicity.
