The macOS app really lets you do this well as it allows different tabs to be opened when you start the application. I like having stand alone applications for project management tools because then I can just go into it and leave it set to whatever views I like. As far as I can tell it has all the features that you can find in the web version. Ways to Access Taskadeįor most platforms there is two ways to access Taskade, the web and then a custom app that is tailored to the platform. I could also see building out a web site map with the org chart view. I’m not sure what I’d use the mindmap and org chart views for when it comes to managing projects, but mindmaps are excellent if you’re organizing content inside Taskade.

Fairly standard in many task managers is the list view and the kanban view, but then Taskade adds the mindmap, action, and org chart views. One of the interesting features of Taskade is the variety of views that you can use inside a project.

To move a task select the three dots beside the task and choose Move to and pick where you want it. Heck even if GTD is not your thing I think an Inbox is a great idea. If you were going to follow GTD here then you’d need to create an Inbox project to add your tasks to. It allows you enter some custom text, choose which project it goes in and even choose which block you add your task to. On iOS Taskade does have a Share Sheet extension so you can share items directly into the application. You’ll have to select the app then select a project and enter a task for a project. Where you can use a keyboard command to add stuff to Things 3 or OmniFocus or Todoist on macOS, the Taskade application doesn’t offer anything like that. One of the biggest issues I have with Taskade is that there is no quick entry on any platform. I found starting with a template to be the best way to get started as something about doing it manually just didn’t click for me. You can also see the individual tasks that have dates on them.įinally, Taskade has many pre-built templates for you to use as you start up a project. In addition to a standard list of your projects you can see your projects on a Roadmap that corresponds with the dates you’ve set for them. Workspaces also provide a few different views. So I guess the best way to think about a Workspace would be to have one for each different business you run? Maybe I’d have one for all the projects that are just on me, like Personal stuff this YouTube channel, and a theoretical future business would get it’s own Workspace with various subspaces to keep Information there organized. At first I thought that I should use a different workspace for each area of my life, like work/home, but when I went to create a new one Taskade informed me that I probably didn’t need to create a new workspace and instead could use a subspace, which doesn’t cost me anything extra since upgrades apply across a whole workspace. One of the first organizational units or Taskade is the Workspace. I’m happy to say that Taskade doesn’t miss this easy quality of life improvement for their tool. So many applications skip this feature because only “power users” get to know keyboard commands, but those same users are the ones that will be the evangelists because a tool makes their life so much better. A Tour of Taskadeīefore we take a basic tour of the Taskade interface I want to mention that Taskade has many keyboard commands for you to use. You can work on organizing a project while on your call and for iPadOS users, those calls continue to work in Split Screen when you use Safari. One big way that Taskade sets itself out from Notion is that it allows you to call the people you collaborate with directly inside the application. This isn’t a bad thing, but if you’re looking for an OmniFocus or Todoist replacement Taskade is a different kind of tool. After using it for a few weeks it feels like it’s closer to Notion than it is to any personal task management application I’ve used in the past. Taskade is a web based collaborative project management tool. You can graft a GTD workflow into Taskade but it seems like something you’re forcing on the wrong tool. Taskade is not a personal task manager in the same way that Things 3 or OmniFocus is a personal task manager.

Let’s start by talking about what Taskade is not.
