Planner (Kanban) 📋

Kanban boards for project planning. 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 three default columns: To Do, In Progress, and Done. Customize them however you like.

Adding 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.

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:

• Description — Markdown-supported details
• Due date — Deadline tracking
• Labels — Color-coded categories
• Checklist — Sub-tasks within the card

Moving Cards

Drag and drop cards:

• Between columns to change status
• Within a column to reorder

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

Labels

Color-code your cards:

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.

Tips

• Keep columns to 3-5 for clarity
• Use WIP (work-in-progress) limits — don't pile up cards in "In Progress"
• Review and archive completed cards regularly
• Use labels consistently across boards
