Tasks

Tasks is a flexible work manager built around a Trello-style Kanban board: organize your work into projects with lists (columns) you create yourself, cards with labels, checklists, covers and assignees, and switch to List, Calendar, Timeline, Table or Dashboard whenever another angle helps. This page is the overview — each topic has its own page below.

Overview

A project holds your tasks as cards, arranged in the lists (columns) of its Board — you create and order the columns to match your workflow. Each card can carry notes, a checklist, subtasks, dates, a priority, labels, an icon, a cover and — in shared projects — assignees. Completing a task always offers Undo, deleting sends it to the Trash, and everything you do syncs in real time across your devices.

Ideas without a home go into the Inbox — a side panel to jot tasks quickly and drag them into a project later. The sidebar also gives you smart views: Today, Upcoming and No project.

Core concepts

Project
A workspace for a set of tasks, with its own lists, labels, phases and views. Projects can be personal, professional or shared with your team.
Collection
A folder that groups projects in the sidebar (the same concept used in Drawing and Bases). Create one with "New collection" and move projects into it.
List
A column on the Board. You create your own with "Add list"; each list maps to a status (To do, Doing or Done), so moving a card between columns changes its status.
Card
A single task with all its details: notes, checklist, subtasks, dates, priority, labels, cover, assignees, comments and attachments.
Phase
A project stage (for example Discovery, Build, Launch). With two or more phases, a tab bar filters the Board by phase and the List view can group by phase.
Inbox
A holding place for tasks that don't belong to a project yet. Opens as a second sidebar inside a project.
My day
A one-day planner panel with half-hour slots. Drag cards into a time slot to plan your day without moving them off the board.

Capture fast, anywhere

Every creation field — the quick-add at the bottom of a Board column, the inline add in the List view, the Inbox — understands natural language: type 'pay rent tomorrow 9am !1' and the date, time and priority are extracted and shown as chips before you press Enter. Press Q or N to jump to the nearest "Add task" field, and / to search.

In this module

Each topic below has its own page:

Projects and lists
Create projects and collections, build your own lists, and use the Inbox.
Task cards
Everything a card holds: notes, checklist, subtasks, dates, reminders, cover, members, comments and attachments.
Views
Board, List, Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard, the Overview and the My day panel.
Dependencies
Chain tasks so one waits for another, and see blocked tasks.
Labels and priorities
Colored labels and the five priority levels.
Templates and AI
Start a project from a ready-made template or generate one with AI.
Archive and trash
Archive finished work and restore or permanently delete from the Trash.
The same tasks power every view: editing a card on the Board is reflected in the List, Calendar, Timeline and Table — nothing is duplicated. Changes made on another device appear automatically, without reloading.
Projects and listsA project is a board, and its lists are the columns that shape your workflow — you build them yourself. This page shows how to create projects, group them into collections, manage lists (color, sorting, WIP limit and more), capture loose tasks in the Inbox, and move or copy a card between projects and the Inbox. Card details and the different views have their own pages.Task cardsThe card is the unit of work in Tasks. Start with just a title and add detail as you go: notes with formatting, a checklist, subtasks, dates and reminders, a cover, members, comments and attachments. This page covers the card editor and how to fill each part. Labels, priority and dependencies have their own pages.ViewsA view is a way to look at the same tasks. Every view reads the same cards, so switching never copies or duplicates data — it only changes how the work is presented. Inside a project you pick between Board (the default), List, Calendar, Timeline, Table and Dashboard; the sidebar adds the Overview, the smart views Today, Upcoming and No project, the Trash, and the My day panel.DependenciesDependencies express order between tasks: when one task can only start after another is finished. You add the prerequisites on the task that depends on them, and while any prerequisite is still open that task shows as blocked. When the prerequisites are done, it unblocks on its own. This page shows how to add a dependency, what blocked means, and where dependencies appear.Labels and prioritiesLabels and priorities are the two quick ways to classify cards. A label is a colored tag you attach to a card to group it by theme, area or effort; a priority is a single urgency level per card. Both show up on the card and both can be used as filters, so you can narrow any view to exactly what matters now.Templates and AIYou don't have to build a board from an empty screen. Start a project from a ready-made template that already brings lists, labels and cards, or describe your goal and let AI generate the whole structure. Both paths create a real project you can edit right away — the result is a starting point, not something locked in.Archive and trashTwo different ways to clear finished work out of sight. Archiving hides a task without deleting it, so you can bring it back at any time. The trash holds tasks and projects you deleted, keeps them for 30 days so you can restore them, and lets you delete them for good. Both keep working offline and stay in sync across your devices.
