Hi Taskaders 🎉
New features and improvements are here. Let us know what you think!
TL;DR: The "Checker" role shipped in 2021 was the seed of today's full 7-tier permissions model. Now Taskade ships 7 project views, 15+ frontier AI models, and 100+ integrations. Taskade Genesis builds living apps from a prompt, with AI Agents executing across the whole stack.
Then → Now: The 2021 "Checker" role was a single permission tier. Today Taskade has a 7-tier RBAC — Owner, Maintainer, Editor, Commenter, Collaborator, Participant, Viewer — wired into AI Agents and Automations so the right people see the right things automatically.
✅ Checker Role Permission
We added a new checker role permission to both workspaces and projects. The new role limits team members to checking and unchecking items only.
📦 Copy Tasks Across Projects
You can now copy tasks and blocks to other projects! Simply open the more menu to copy items to projects in any workspace or subspace.
📦 Keyboard Shortcuts for Add-ons
As you're creating a new task, press ⌘ + / (Mac) or CTRL + / (Windows) to open the add-on menu then press D to add a due date, A to assign, C to comment, or F to attach a file. You can also use arrow keys to navigate between different options and ESC to continue typing.
🎉 Other Improvements

- Added various keyboard shortcut enhancements.
- Added tooltip for URL hyperlinks in editor.
- Updated custom templates workflow.

🔑 The Add-on shortcut, mapped
The Cmd+/ add-on menu was the seed of today's slash commands. Same finger memory; a much bigger menu.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Checker role in Taskade?
The Checker role is a permission level that limits team members to checking and unchecking task checkboxes only. They cannot edit content, add tasks, or modify project structure. This is useful for stakeholders who need to approve or mark tasks as complete without altering the project.
Can I copy tasks between projects in Taskade?
Yes. Open the more menu on any task or block and select Copy to duplicate it to another project in any workspace or folder. The copied item retains its formatting, content, and sub-tasks, making it easy to reuse task structures across different projects.
Are there keyboard shortcuts for task add-ons in Taskade?
Yes. While creating or editing a task, press Cmd+/ (Mac) or Ctrl+/ (Windows) to open the add-on menu. Then press D for due date, A to assign, C to comment, or F to attach a file. Use arrow keys to navigate and Esc to close the menu and continue typing.
Does Taskade support screen sharing in video calls?
Yes. Taskade's built-in video conferencing includes screen sharing at up to 30 FPS. Share your entire screen or a specific window during team calls without switching to a separate video conferencing tool — everything stays within your Taskade project workspace.
