The daily task management struggle
When your boss asks for a status update at 3pm on Friday, you're digging through spreadsheets, emails, and sticky notes trying to piece together what's actually happening. Sound familiar?
Status Update Panic
You're constantly asking "where are we on X?" because tasks are scattered across multiple tools. By the time you find the answer, you've lost 15 minutes and your train of thought.
Deadlines Slip Unnoticed
Tasks get buried in spreadsheets or forgotten in email threads. You only realize something's overdue when someone asks about it—too late to do anything.
Can't See the Big Picture
You're updating status in one place, tracking priorities in another, and managing due dates somewhere else. There's no single view that shows you what actually matters right now.
Manual Updates Kill Your Time
Every status change means opening a spreadsheet, finding the right row, updating it, saving it. You spend more time updating tasks than actually working on them.
Three ways to see your work—pick what you need
Answer status questions in 10 seconds, not 15 minutes. Kanban for workflow, List for filtering, Calendar for deadlines. Update status by dragging. See everything at a glance.
Kanban Board

- See Not Started, In Progress, Blocked, and Complete tasks in separate columns
- Answer "where are we on X?" in 10 seconds instead of 15 minutes
- Drag and drop to update status—no spreadsheet hunting required

Calendar View
