Projects
Group tasks into projects, plan sprints, and create custom boards to manage any workflow from start to finish.
Create a Project
Projects are containers that hold related tasks, boards, and sprints together.

- 1
Open the Project selector
Click the project dropdown in the task page header. Select '+ New Project'.
- 2
Name your project
Enter a clear, descriptive name. Add an optional description for context.
- 3
Pick a color
Choose from the 6 color swatches to give your project a visual identity.
- 4
Start adding tasks
Assign existing tasks to the project, or create new tasks directly inside it.
Every project gets its own color dot that appears alongside tasks in lists, boards, and the detail panel — so you can always tell which project a task belongs to at a glance.
Sprints
Break your project into time-boxed iterations. Plan what to tackle in each sprint and track progress.
- 1
Create a sprint
In the project settings, click '+ Sprint'. Set a name, start date, and end date.
- 2
Add tasks to the sprint
From the backlog, drag tasks into the sprint — or use the sprint selector on each task.
- 3
Track sprint progress
The backlog view filters by active sprint. Watch tasks move from todo to done.
- 4
Complete the sprint
When the time-box ends, unfinished tasks can roll over to the next sprint.
The Backlog tab has a sprint dropdown that auto-selects the active sprint for the current project. Switching projects updates this automatically.
Custom Boards
Each project can have multiple Kanban boards with fully customizable columns.
Define Columns
Create columns like 'Design', 'Development', 'QA', 'Done' — whatever fits your team's process.
Color Code
Each column gets a color swatch for quick visual scanning across the board.
Inline Editing
Click a column header to rename it. Right-click for more options like delete or recolor.
Board Selector
Switch between boards using the board dropdown at the top of the Board view.
- 1
Go to Board view
Select a project from the dropdown, then click the 'Board' tab.

Click the board selector and choose '+ New Board'. Give it a name.
- 3
Add columns
Click '+ Add Column'. Enter a label and pick a color.
- 4
Start using it
Drag tasks between columns. Each column maps to a task status.
Project Views
View your project from different angles — list, board, timeline, or backlog.
All four views share the same project data.
Switch views freely — your data is always in sync.
The active project and board selections persist to localStorage, so when you return to the tasks page, you'll see exactly where you left off.
Team Workflow
Projects aren't just personal — assign tasks to team members and collaborate in real time.
Assign Members
Use the assignee field in each task to assign people. Type-ahead search makes it fast.

Right-click any personal task and select 'Move to project' to add it to a shared project.
