Notes

Turn a line of a note into a card on the board

"Kanban for notes" is one of the searches that keeps growing this year. Here is the one move in TaskNote that answers it: select a line, make it a task, and it lands on the board with the note still attached.

The TaskNote board with three columns, To Do, In Progress and Done, and cards that came from notes

People search for "kanban board for notes" and "notes with tasks" far more than they did a year ago. The reason is simple: a note is where a thought starts, and a board is where it gets done, and most apps make you choose one or the other.

In TaskNote the two are one thing. Select any line in a note, choose Create task, and that line becomes a card on the board. The card keeps a link back to the note, so the context never gets lost: open the card, and the note it came from is one click away.

What the board gives you

  • Three columns by default: To Do, In Progress, Done. Rename them, add more, set a card limit per column.
  • A due date, a checklist and a timer on every card. Start the timer when you begin, and the card shows how long the task has taken.
  • Drag between columns. Done is done; the note stays.

Where it is

The board lives under the Tasks tab. Three boards are free, on the web and in the Windows app. If you already have a note with a list of things to do, that is the fastest place to start: turn the first three lines into cards and see how it feels.
