Project management that reads like a list
Sections stack top to bottom. Every task shows its owner, due date, priority and status on one line. You can take in a whole project without dragging a single card sideways — and start a Pomodoro on any of it.
Free to useNo credit cardPomodoro timer included
Everything between the beta and the public launch.
Most project tools make you manage the tool
You open the app to check what is due. Twenty minutes later you have renamed a column, dragged four cards, added a custom field nobody will fill in, and still could not say what is actually overdue.
The projects board is built the other way round. A project is a list of sections, a section is a list of tasks, and a task shows everything about itself on one line. Adding work takes one keystroke. Changing an owner or a date takes one click, in place, with no dialog. Nothing has to be arranged before it becomes useful.
And because it lives in the same dashboard as the Pomodoro timer, the plan and the work are not in two different apps. Estimate a task in hours, see it as pomodoros, then go and do them.
Sections, not columns
A project you can read in one pass
Group your work into sections — Backlog, This week, In review, whatever fits — and they stack down the page with a colour, a task count and a completion bar each. Collapse the ones you are not thinking about.
Every section ends with an add-a-task line. Type a title, press Enter, and it stays focused so you can empty your head in one go. Drag the handle on any row to reorder or move it to another section.
Task detail
Everything about a task, in one panel
Click a task and a panel slides in with the full picture: assignee, due date, status, priority, section, estimate, tags and a description with room to think.
Underneath it, subtasks with their own progress bar, and a comment thread for the context that never fits in a title. Everything saves as you go — there is no save button to forget.

Staging looks right. One nit: the annual saving badge wraps on mobile.
Grouping
Same tasks, five different questions
Group by section to plan. Group by assignee to see who is loaded. Group by due date to find this week. Group by priority when something has gone wrong, or by status to spot what is blocked.
Switching a grouping rearranges the view, never the data. Your sections stay exactly as you left them, so you can look at a project five ways in ten seconds and put it back without a second thought.
Table view
When you need to audit, not plan
Flip to the table and every task becomes a row with sortable columns. Sort by due date to build tomorrow's order. Sort by priority before a status meeting. Scan the assignee column for the blanks.
The cells are live, not read-only: change a status or a date straight from the grid and it is saved.

Bulk actions
Move fifteen tasks as fast as one
Tick a few rows, or click one and shift-click another to take the whole range. A bar appears with the things you actually want: set status, set priority, move to a section, delete.
It is the difference between reorganising a project at the end of a sprint and postponing it for another week.
The small things you notice on day two
None of these are headline features. All of them are the reason a tool stops being annoying.
Subtasks with progress
Break a big task into steps. The parent shows a live count and a progress bar as the steps get ticked off.
Estimates in pomodoros
Type 2h or 45m and see roughly how many focus sessions that is. Planning and doing finally use the same unit.
Tags that colour themselves
Add a tag and it gets a consistent colour everywhere, with no palette to manage. Filter by any of them in a click.
Search and filters
Search titles, descriptions, tags and owners. Stack filters for status, priority, person, tag and due window.
Keyboard first
Slash to search, N for a new task, E to hide what is finished, Escape to back out. Add tasks without touching the mouse.
Undo on delete
Deleted the wrong task? An undo button sits in the corner for a few seconds. Nothing important vanishes on a mis-click.
Everything edits in place
Owner, date, priority, status and tags all change from the row itself. No modal, no save button, no lost context.
Comments on tasks
Leave context where the work is. Useful as private notes today, and the thread your team will join tomorrow.
Templates to start from
Blank, product sprint, content calendar or study plan. Pick one and the sections are already named sensibly.
Built for one person now, for a team next
Sharing is not switched on yet, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. What is worth knowing is that it was designed in from the start rather than bolted on later, so the day it ships nothing about your existing projects has to change.
- Projects have members and roles — owner, admin, editor, viewer — already stored and enforced.
- Tasks carry an assignee, a creator and a last editor, not just a name typed into a box.
- Comments live on the task, so a thread started today is the thread your team joins.
- Boards sync in real time, which is multi-tab today and multiplayer tomorrow.
Invites are the next thing being built.
This is not a Kanban board, on purpose
Both have their place, and a Kanban view is coming to the dashboard as its own thing. Here is the honest difference so you can pick the right one.
The projects board
Reading and planning work
- Vertical: the whole project fits on one screen
- Owner, date, priority and status visible per task
- Regroup by person, date or priority in a click
- Sort, filter, search and act in bulk
- Subtasks, estimates and comments per task
A Kanban board
Watching work move through stages
- Horizontal: columns you scroll across
- Cards optimised for dragging, not for reading
- One fixed way of grouping — by column
- Great for a stand-up, awkward for a plan
- Coming to the dashboard as a separate view
Up and running in about a minute
Make a project
Name it, pick a colour, choose a template or start blank. You get sections like Backlog, This week, In review and Done, all renameable.
Fill it in as fast as you can type
Every section has an add-a-task line at the bottom. Type, press Enter, keep going. Add owners, dates and priorities later, or never.
Work it down with the timer
Group by due date to see this week, start a pomodoro, and tick tasks off. The dashboard shows what is overdue before you have to go looking.
The rest of the workshop
A plan is only half of it. These are the tools you will use on the other half.
A timer with the task list attached. The natural next step once the project is planned.

OpenQuestions
Is the projects board free?
Yes. Create an account and the projects board is yours to use, along with the Pomodoro timer, statistics and the rest of the dashboard. There is no card required to start and no trial clock counting down.
How is this different from a Kanban board?
A Kanban board spreads work sideways into columns and asks you to scroll horizontally to see it all. The projects board runs top to bottom instead: sections stack, every task shows its owner, date, priority and status on one line, and you can read a whole project without moving a single card. A Kanban view is coming as a separate view for people who prefer columns.
Can I use this with my team?
Not yet, but the groundwork is done. Projects already have a membership model with owner, admin, editor and viewer roles, tasks carry an assignee and a creator, comments are per task, and the board syncs in real time. What is missing is the invite flow, which is the next thing being built.
What happens to my tasks if I delete a section?
They move to the first section rather than disappearing. Deleting a section is a tidying-up action, not a destructive one. Deleting a single task does remove it, but an undo button sits in the corner for a few seconds afterwards.
Does it work with the Pomodoro timer?
Yes, and that is rather the point. Estimates are entered in plain language like 2h or 45m and shown back to you as a number of pomodoros, so planning a week and working through it use the same unit. The timer lives one click away in the same dashboard.
Can I see my work by person or by due date instead of by section?
Any time. Group by section, status, priority, assignee or due date, and the same tasks reorganise instantly. Nothing is moved or rewritten, it is only a different way of reading the same project, so you can switch back and forth as often as you like.
Put this week somewhere you can see it
Make a project, type your tasks, and let the board tell you what is overdue instead of finding out the hard way.
