Task management your team keeps updated because it pays off
Kanban with WIP limits, checklists, timer and due dates. The same list becomes a table, a calendar or a timeline as the question changes.
Every task tool works in week one. The real test is month two: if keeping the board current costs more than consulting the board returns, the team drifts back to the group chat and the spreadsheet, and the tool becomes a graveyard of stale cards.
The difference here is that a task is not an island. It carries tracked time, a checklist, a due date, an owner, the document behind the decision and the conversation that started it. Updating stops being status bureaucracy and becomes the fastest way to find your own work.
WIP limits per column
The board stops accepting new work once a column fills up. That is the mechanism that turns a decorative Kanban into actual flow control.
Built-in timer
Time is tracked where the work happens. No separate time-tracking app and no filling a timesheet from memory on Friday.
Swimlanes per team
Several teams on one board without mixing flows, each lane at its own pace, all under one overview.
One task, many views
Checklist for whoever executes, calendar for whoever schedules, timeline for whoever coordinates. One dataset underneath.
Priority that actually means something
A task list where everything is urgent prioritizes nothing. That is why WIP limits matter more than any priority field: they force the team to finish before starting, which is the only prioritization that survives contact with reality.
Combined with swimlanes per team, the board immediately shows where work is stuck, and who is overloaded, without anyone building a report to find out.
From checklist to schedule without switching tools
The same task collection switches views in one click. That settles a common friction: the person executing wants a short list for today, while coordination needs the whole month in bars.
- Checklist and Kanban for day-to-day execution.
- Calendar with recurring events for deadlines and ceremonies.
- Timeline with interactive Gantt and dependencies once a task becomes a dated deliverable.
- Table with reference columns (lookup and rollup) to total effort, cost or volume across collections.
- Gallery when the deliverable is visual.
Organizing tasks alone and organizing tasks as a team
People who come here looking to organize tasks almost never start with the team. They start with themselves: today's list scattered across a notes app, a saved message and memory. The team comes later, when someone needs the status without having to ask.
Starting small is fine. The free plan is permanent and asks for no card, so you can organize your own tasks first and invite the rest of the team when it makes sense, with nothing to rebuild, because a personal task and a shared task are the same object with more people looking at it.
Tracked time turns into better estimates
The task timer is not there to police anyone. It is there to answer, at the next planning session, how long this kind of work actually takes, instead of repeating the estimate that already failed three times.
Since the data stays in the workspace, dashboards read that history directly, with period filters, without exports or an intermediate spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a free version for organizing tasks?
- There is, and it is permanent. The free plan includes Kanban with WIP limits, swimlanes, checklists, timer, due dates, calendar and timeline, everything needed to organize tasks, with no credit card and no expiry date. The limit is scale: 1 workspace and no file storage quota.
- Does the free plan include task management?
- It does, with no time limit. Tasks with timer are part of the free plan, along with calendar and timeline, notes and wiki, built-in email, multiple views, App Store, public forms and whiteboard. What starts at the Pro plan is dashboards, video meetings and real-time features.
- Can tasks be split by team or by client?
- Yes, in two ways: swimlanes inside the same board, when teams share a flow, or separate workspaces, when isolation needs to be complete. The free plan has 1 workspace, Pro has 3, Business has 10 and Enterprise is unlimited.
- How do WIP limits work?
- You set how many cards each column accepts at once. When the column hits the limit, it signals that it should not take new work until something leaves. That is what makes the bottleneck show up on the board instead of showing up in the deadline.
- Do tasks connect to other data in the workspace?
- Yes. Collections accept reference columns between them (lookup and rollup), so a task can point at a client, a contract or an item in another collection and pull consolidated values. For external reads and writes, every app exposes a REST endpoint with full CRUD through the public API, available from the Business plan up.
