Projects give you a dedicated space to collect related tasks under a single name — a product launch, a client engagement, a personal goal, or anything else you want to track together. Within each project you can add sections to break work into phases, and toggle between a familiar list view and a visual Kanban board.

​
Creating a project

Click + New Project in the left sidebar, or navigate to My Projects and click the New Project button in the top-right corner. Give the project a name and press Enter to save it. The project appears in the sidebar immediately and is ready for tasks.

​
Inbox

Every Flowtask account includes a built-in Inbox project. Any task created without an explicit project assignment lands here automatically. Think of the Inbox as your capture bucket — a place to collect tasks quickly and sort them into projects later. The Inbox cannot be renamed or deleted.

​
Adding tasks to a project

You can assign a project to a task in two ways:
  • At creation time — expand the project field in the task creation form and select a project from the dropdown.
  • After creation — open the task detail panel, click the Project field, and choose a different project. The task moves instantly.

​
Sections

Sections split a project into logical groups — phases like To Do, In Progress, and Done, or categories like Design and Engineering. To add a section, open a project and click + Add Section at the bottom of the list (or between existing sections). Enter a name and press Enter. In board view, each section becomes a column, giving you a visual Kanban layout out of the box.

​
List vs board view

Switch between views using the display selector in the top-right corner of any project page.

List view

A linear, top-to-bottom layout. Best for detailed task management, reviewing descriptions, and working through tasks sequentially.

Board view

A Kanban-style layout where each section is a column. Best for tracking progress across stages and getting a high-level overview.
Your view preference is saved per project, so you can use list view in one project and board view in another.

​
Drag-and-drop in board view

In board view, drag a task card from one column to another to reassign it to a different section. Drag within a column to change its position relative to other tasks. Changes save automatically.
Drag tasks to the leftmost column to move them back to an earlier stage without opening the task detail panel.

​
Managing sections

To manage an existing section, hover over the section header to reveal the options menu (⋯):
ActionDescription
RenameGive the section a new name
ReorderDrag the section header to move the entire section and its tasks
DeleteRemove the section; tasks inside are moved to the project’s unsectioned area

​
Deleting a project

Open the project, click the ⋯ menu in the project header, and select Delete Project. Confirm in the dialog that appears.
Deleting a project permanently removes all its tasks. Export or move tasks first if needed.
To move tasks before deleting, open each task’s detail panel and reassign the project field, or use bulk selection to move several tasks at once.
