Switch any board to a 2×2 priority grid, drag tasks by effort and impact, and preview every change before it's applied – priorities you've set by hand are never silently overwritten • Subtasks – break any task into a checklist, track progress right on the card, and let Karavan suggest moving a task to Finished once everything's checked off • Attachments – attach photos and files to any task, and preview them with Quick Look • Up Next – see your most urgent and high-priority tasks across every project in one place, and jump straight to the board • Undo & Redo, plus a full Change Log of every change with one-tap revert • Powerful search – find any task instantly; it scrolls into view and highlights itself so you never lose track • Custom notification time per task, independent of its due date • Task priorities, due dates, auto-archive, and overdue/due-soon warnings • Configurable Finished Columns – decide exactly which columns count as done, not just the last one • Board templates – use the built-ins, customize them to fit your workflow, or build your own from scratch • Custom Project Icons – drag your own photo onto a project, or pick one from Photos or Files, and it replaces the icon everywhere the project shows up • Pin your favorite projects and give each one its own color for quick recognition • Customizable task types – 19 built-in types or create your own with custom colors and icons from the full SF Symbols library (6,900+ icons) • Built-in Pomodoro timer – start a Focus Session with a tap; the timer appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Markdown support in task descriptions with live preview • Per-board filters and sorting that persist across sessions • Drag and drop, swipe between columns, and reorder with a tap – navigate your board however feels natural • Automatic sync across all your devices – works offline, syncs when you're back online Perfect For: Software developers, event planners, homeowners, students, and anyone who wants visual project management without the complexity.
