Features

Everything at a glance. Nothing in the way.

Spaces hold projects. Projects hold boards. Boards hold cards that show exactly what matters.

Boards that fly

Drag cards between columns, reorder with a click or a tap, add tasks from the always-ready field at the bottom of every column, and switch any project to a list.

Boards and columns →

Rich notes on every task

Headings, lists, tappable to-do checkboxes, quotes, code, text colors, and highlights, plus images, drawings, and file attachments, right inside the task.

The notes editor →

Spaces, Projects, and Tags

Group projects into Spaces, give everything its own icon and color, and use tags that nest as deep as you like to cut across projects.

Organizing your work →

Smart lists

Inbox, Today, Upcoming, and Flagged gather what needs attention. Build your own smart lists with filters for tags, dates, priority, projects, and more.

Kan Do on iPad with a board and an open task

Boards

Move work forward with a drag.

Every project is a board of columns you define. Cards carry a cover image, subtitle, tags, priority, and due date, so you can read the state of a project without opening anything.

  • Drag cards between columns, or onto a project, tag, or the Inbox in the sidebar
  • Dividers split long columns into sections
  • Keep finished cards on the board, or sweep them to the Archive, per project
  • Column width, card size, and typography are all adjustable
