What you can do

TaskCanvas is built to feel like a flexible workspace for tasks, not just another checklist. You add lists, move them around the canvas, and keep planning in context.

Freeform Canvas

Create multiple task lists on a freeform canvas and place them wherever they make the most sense to you.

Visual Organization

Keep related work visible together so planning feels more like arranging notes on a desk than sorting items in rigid lanes.

Category Filtering

Filter by category to focus on what matters now without losing the bigger picture of your board.

Inline Editing

Edit tasks and lists directly on the board so you can keep moving without breaking your flow.

Keyboard-Friendly Flow

Use keyboard-friendly interactions to capture, move, and organize work faster during everyday planning.

Themes & Styling

Customize the board with themes and styling so the workspace feels comfortable, readable, and personal.

A workspace, not just another todo list

Most task apps force everything into one list, one board, or a stack of pages. TaskCanvas gives you an open canvas where multiple lists stay visible at once, so you can group, move, and organize work more naturally.

It is built for people who think visually, juggle multiple projects, or get frustrated switching between tabs just to see what matters.

Why it feels better than rigid task apps

TaskCanvas works more like a desk, notebook, or whiteboard than a spreadsheet. Instead of hiding work behind pages and columns, it keeps your lists visible in one space so you can plan in context.

That makes it easier to manage personal tasks, side projects, study plans, and everyday work without fighting the tool.

Built for visual thinkers

  • People who want to see multiple lists at once
  • ADHD-friendly planning and low-friction organization
  • Makers, students, and multitaskers managing different streams of work
  • Anyone who wants something lighter than a project management tool

About TaskCanvas

I built TaskCanvas because I'm usually working across multiple projects at once, and task lists are how I stay on track. I wanted to see several task lists side by side across different projects, and still be able to focus on just one category when needed.

I looked at a lot of the big todo apps, but none of them really worked the way I wanted. So I created TaskCanvas: a local-first visual workspace where multiple lists can stay visible at once, so planning feels more natural and less constrained.
