Planner

Kanban boards for visual project management. Drag cards between columns and watch your projects grow from seedlings to harvest.

What's a Kanban Board?

Kanban is a visual way to manage work. You have columns representing stages (like "To Do", "In Progress", "Done"), and cards representing tasks. Move cards from left to right as work progresses.

Creating a Board

1. Click the Planner tab in the sidebar
2. Click + New Board
3. Name your board (e.g., "Website Redesign", "Weekly Meals")

New boards come with default columns. Customize them however you like.

Managing Columns

1. Click + Add Column at the right edge of the board
2. Name your column
3. Optionally choose a color

Drag columns to reorder them. Click the column header to rename or delete a column.

Creating Cards

1. Click + Add Card at the bottom of any column
2. Enter a title
3. Press Enter or click Add

Cards can have:

• Labels — Color-coded categories for organizing cards visually
• Due dates — Set start and end dates for deadline tracking
• Description — Add detailed notes to any card

Drag and Drop

The core of the Planner is drag and drop:

• Between columns: Drag a card from one column to another to change its status
• Within a column: Drag cards up or down to reorder them
• Columns: Drag column headers to reorder the entire column

On mobile, long-press to pick up a card, then drag it where you want.

Labels

Color-code your cards with labels:

1. Click on a card to open it
2. Click Labels
3. Select existing labels or create new ones

Labels are board-specific. Use them for priority, category, assignee, or anything else. Labels appear as colored strips on cards in the board view, making it easy to scan at a glance.

Start and End Dates

Cards can have start and end dates. These dates serve two purposes:

• On the board: Cards show their due date so you can track deadlines
• On the Schedule: Cards with dates appear on the Schedule timeline as Gantt-style bars

To set dates, open a card and click the date fields. Cards without dates won't appear on the Schedule view.

Tips

• Keep columns to 3-5 for clarity
• Don't pile up too many cards in one column — if "In Progress" is overflowing, finish something before starting something new
• Use labels consistently across your boards
• Set start and end dates on cards if you want to see them on the Schedule timeline
• Group related boards into a Project for better organization
