Hey PH community! 👋 I’m excited to announce the launch of Kanban Tasks today - a powerful shared Kanban Board natively inside your Google Workspace! 🚀 After a few months of validating my beta product, I’m happy to finally share my journey with you and hear your valuable feedback! 🗂️ What is Kanban Tasks? Kanban Tasks is a shareable Kanban board that lives right inside your Google Workspace. It is built as a plug-n-play Chrome extension. It offers a native Kanban board interface within Google Workspace for seamless task management and team collaboration. It syncs with your Google tasks and it conveniently integrates with your gmail right in the environment which you know and love. ❤️ Why did I build Kanban Tasks? I noticed that many businesses struggle with scattered tools and disjointed workflows. Teams end up juggling multiple tools, which leads to inefficiencies and loss of productivity. Even though Google Workspace is widely used, it’s missing some key features like Kanban boards and task dependencies. Google Tasks is handy but often needs extra tools for managing complex projects. So, I created Kanban Tasks—a Kanban board that integrates right into Google Workspace. It keeps everything in one place, so you don’t have to switch between tools. ✨ What unique features are there in Kanban Tasks? 💡 It’s loaded with features that elevate task management—think multiple boards for different projects, customizable checklists, Markdown for detailed descriptions, and a standout “Get Work Done” board to spotlight your weekly priorities. Next to that it offers Tags, Attachments, Comments and loads more! 📌 A central task hub named “Get Work Done”. Visible immediately upon opening the extension, it shows tasks from other boards based on their due dates, organized into ‘To-Do Today’ and ‘To-Do This Week.’ This board helps you stay focused on upcoming deadlines and can’t be deleted or renamed. 📋 Kanban Boards - You can create unlimited shareable Kanban Boards* 👥 Shared Boards & Assign Tasks - This is by far the most requested feature of the beta period. Invite teammates, share boards, assign tasks, and enjoy real-time collaboration. Want to try it out with your team for 3 months? Use the discount code! 🗒️ Tasklists, Tasks and Subtasks - You can create Tasklists on all boards with highly customizable functionalities. Tasks can be added with subtasks to break down projects into manageable steps. 🎯 Drag and drop - Effortlessly move tasks along and between boards for easy prioritization and status updates. ✅ Mark as Completed - Simply check the check box to mark tasks as complete. Completed tasks will appear with a strikethrough in their respective lists. 🔄 Sync with Google Tasks - Seamlessly sync all your existing Google Tasks into Kanban Tasks. 📧 Add from Gmail - Add tasks directly from emails in Gmail with just one click or a simple drag-and-drop. 📝 Add Markdown Descriptions and Checklists - Add detailed planning to tasks with Markdown descriptions and checklists. 🏷️ Tags, File Attachments and comments: Enhance your tasks with tags, attachments* and comments* (*coming in a couple of weeks). ❤️ Thank you all for your attention to Kanban Tasks, and I eagerly await your feedback! Want to try out the premium features for free? Use PHLAUNCH to get the first 3 months for free! *some features require a paid subscription.

I've been using Kanban Tasks with my team for several weeks now (I was using the solo version prior to that). It's been such a joy to use! No more switching between Trello and my Workspace (mail/chat/meet, etc.). It's just so much more convenient, the creating tasks from email function is 🧑‍🍳💋. @nick_kramer has been great in processing feedback/requests. Can't wait to see where Tooling Studio is going to go. PS: looking forward to the CRM integration!

It's too bad I'm already using a custom flow to manage my tasks because this would have helped me a lot! The interface is clean and is already inside Gmail, which I use daily (combined with Calendar and Keep). I can see how it'll become an excellent productivity tool! Congrats on the launch, Nick!

"Congrats on the launch, Nick! Kanban Tasks sounds super handy, especially right inside Google Workspace! Quick q—do you have plans to support other languages in the future? That would be awesome for international teams.

Congrats on the launch. Love how you’ve integrated Kanban boards directly into Google Workspace! Looking forward to seeing this tool help teams stay organized and efficient!

Congrats on the launch, Nick!🎉 Great job!

Thank you for launching Kanban Tasks! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

The new update with shared boards and task assignments looks promising. and I’m eagerly anticipating the CRM integration. Thanks for making this so effective!

Great idea to move the kanban board into the google workspace! Curious if you have other ways to access the board beside the chrome plugin (ie to access on mobile)?

@nick_kramer, this is an incredible tool! Syncing with Google Tasks and the ability to add Markdown descriptions really elevate the user experience. I'm curious, are there any plans to make the tool accessible via mobile devices or other browsers in the near future?

@nick_kramer Huge Congratulations on your launch! Wishing you great success!

nice

We’re thrilled with how the task management tool fits into Google Workspace. It’s great to have a feature that keeps our workflow smooth and collaborative, right where we already work.

Congrats on the launch Nick!

Great to see Kanban Tasks launched, @nick_kramer! I'm curious about the integrations—how well does it sync with other Google Workspace tools, specifically in terms of real-time updates? It sounds like a helpful solution for task management! #PH

Nice product 😊 the only problem ..... it only runs as a Chrome browser extension... means no mobile use, no other browser, this is not flexible.
