As answered by people managing Putback and Kanera.
Putback's answer
Mac users who move between display setups: a MacBook that docks to a monitor at the desk, a second screen at the office, a laptop on the couch. Developers, designers and anyone who runs a lot of windows and is tired of putting them back by hand every morning.
Kanera's answer:
Kanera is primarily built for ALL teams that manage multiple projects and need a clearer way to see work across them. It suits development, product, marketing, operations, support, project-delivery, sales and client-service teams, as well as organisations that need self-hosting or greater control over their infrastructure. It is particularly useful for teams that have outgrown basic Kanban boards but do not want the complexity of a heavyweight enterprise project-management platform.
Putback's answer
Most Mac window managers snap windows into place when you ask. Putback remembers. It learns where your windows sit while you work, keeps a separate memory for every display setup, and puts everything back when that setup returns. Named Scenes, drawn in Scene Studio and switched with one hotkey, turn any arrangement into something you can recall in a second.
Kanera's answer:
Kanera combines familiar project boards with cross-project visibility and a clear record of who changed what—including your AI agents.
Keep boards independent or group them in workspaces with shared workflows, labels, custom fields, templates, and automations. My Cards, Team Cards, Team overview, and a ranked Up next queue bring priorities together across projects, while Timeline/Gantt planning and dependency maps show what is blocked and what can move next.
Accountability stays alongside the work. Timestamped activity and description diffs help explain changes. OAuth-connected AI agents are clearly identified, and live agent runs show their progress, when they need input, and their outcomes.
Bring the assistant you already use—such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or Cursor—through MCP, the CLI, or API. Kanera does not require a separate Kanera AI subscription; any costs from your AI provider remain separate.
Choose managed cloud hosting or self-host the same Pro feature set with Docker Compose, with no Kanera licence or per-seat fee for self-hosting.
Putback's answer
Rectangle and Magnet are great at snapping a window to half the screen, and Putback runs happily alongside them. Choose Putback if your problem is that your windows get scrambled every time you dock, undock or plug in a monitor, or if you want whole desks you can switch between with a hotkey. It is a one-time purchase with a 7 day free trial, no account, and your window data never leaves your Mac. On first launch it even checks your Mission Control settings and tells you if the free macOS fix is enough before you pay.
Kanera's answer:
Kanera is designed for teams that want powerful project management without the complexity and fragmentation that can come with larger work-management suites. It keeps the familiar board-and-card workflow while adding cross-project visibility, structured reporting, automations, notes, client collaboration, API and webhook access, and native MCP support for AI tools. There is also a self-hosted option with no Kanera per-seat licence fee, giving organisations greater control over their infrastructure and data.
Putback's answer
A native macOS app in Swift and SwiftUI, using the macOS Accessibility API to move windows and Sparkle for updates. Licensing and the website run on Cloudflare (Workers, D1 and Pages).
Kanera's answer:
Angular, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Socket.IO, Valkey, Docker and Docker Compose. Kanera’s self-hosted deployment includes the web application, API and real-time services, worker processes, PostgreSQL database, Valkey cache, public API, MCP server and nginx-based web tier.
Putback's answer
Putback launched in July 2026 with a simple pitch: unplug your MacBook and macOS piles every window onto one screen. The launch post passed 60,000 views and the replies split down the middle, half saying "I've needed this for years" and half saying "my Mac already does this." So we went and found out. The real answer is two Mission Control settings most people never touch, and we published that free fix ourselves. Even with those settings, restores still fail when a dock reconnects slowly or an app resists being moved, and nothing in macOS remembers more than one desk or lets you name a layout. That gap is Putback. About half of its first features came straight from those launch replies.
Kanera's answer:
Kanera was built from a desire for a work-management system that stayed fast and straightforward while still giving teams the visibility and functionality they need as their projects grow. The goal was to keep the simplicity of working with boards and cards, but remove the need to jump between separate projects just to understand what is assigned, overdue, blocked or completed across a team. That grew into a broader project and work-management platform with connected workspaces, cross-project reporting, automations, notes, integrations, API access and AI connectivity through MCP. Kanera is developed and operated by Happen Software Limited in Ireland and is also source-available so organisations can inspect the code and self-host the complete product when required.
Kanera's answer:
Kanera is still in its early commercial stage, and we do not currently publish customer names publicly.
