Every project on one ready-to-use board that puts what’s important on top

Each project keeps its tasks in its own list, so nothing tells you which comes first. The Workpad’s columns, from planning to done, hold one project, a group of related ones, or all of them, with the most urgent and important tasks at the top.

The TaskQuark app on the Workpad for Monday 21 September 2026, sidebar open with Workpad selected: planning, to do, doing, and waiting columns holding tasks from a client onboarding, an office move, and a gym season, each with a priority letter
The same Workpad on a phone: the doing and waiting columns stacked in one column, with to do starting below
  • Planning. Work you mean to do, not yet ready to start.
  • To do. Ready to pick up, the most important first.
  • Doing. What is under way, from every project at once.
  • Waiting. Handed off to someone else, and still in sight.

Task state

A simple workflow you never have to design

Nothing to set up before the first task goes on the board. Different states from planning to done, and no rule about how a task moves through them.

Drag a task to any stateBackwards, sideways, or straight to done — no transitions to obey.
Choose each column’s stateFrom the column’s header, canceled and done included. How many columns to show, up to five, is set in your profile.
The to do column with its header’s state picker open, listing all seven states: planning, to do, doing, waiting, stopped, canceled, and done
Priority

Each column ordered by importance

Tasks sort by the priority you gave them, A to E, across every project on the board — so the top is the next thing to pick up, whichever project it belongs to.

Today’s deadlines go first

A task due today moves to the top of its column, above higher priorities, and one you targeted for today follows it. Once the day has passed, each goes back to its place by priority.

Then priority, then date

Below today’s work a column runs A to E. Within one priority the earliest due or target date comes first, and tasks with no date sit at the bottom.

The to do column: a C-priority task due today and a D-priority task targeted today at the top, their date marks for 21 September filled, then the A-priority tasks and the B-priority tasks
Projects and filter

Filter, select, find what you need

A board with every project on it is a lot to take in. Select a project to see only its tasks, then filter by a word in the title to find the one you are after.

Set the work contextProfessional or personal, and the board holds only that side of your work.
Select a project, or a groupPick it in the sidebar and the board keeps only its tasks, subprojects included.
Filter by titleType a few letters and every column narrows to the tasks that match.
The filter open in the pane head with "set up" typed, and the doing, waiting, and stopped columns narrowed to the matching tasks from all three projects

Wherever the work stands

Every client, ranked on one board

Freelancing, each client’s work lives in its own place. Your part of it shares one board in the priority you set, so the next task is the top of To do — whoever it’s for.

What’s stuck is as visible as what’s moving

Managing a team, much of your list sits with other people. Waiting keeps it on the board beside what you are doing, across every project you answer for.

A workflow that stays out of the way

Running a business, there is no time to design a process for your own tasks. Here it is already in place: put each task where it stands and get on with it.

“The Workpad is a very useful feature, looks like a Kanban board and very easy to understand and use.”
