Frequently Asked Questions
Does Taskade have a countdown timer for tasks?
Yes. Taskade's Timer Add-on lets you attach a countdown timer to any task for time-boxing work sessions. Set a custom duration, start the timer, and track time spent on individual tasks. It supports Pomodoro-style intervals and is ideal for maintaining focus during deep work.
What is the Kanban Board View in Taskade?
The Board View organizes project tasks as cards in vertical columns, following the Kanban methodology. Drag and drop cards between columns to update task status, use keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation, and collapse or expand columns to focus on specific workflow stages.
Can I add due dates to multiple tasks at once in Taskade?
Yes. Select multiple tasks using Shift+Click or keyboard shortcuts, then add a due date to all selected items simultaneously. Bulk due date assignment saves time when planning sprints, scheduling weekly tasks, or setting deadlines for an entire project at once.
Can I upload files from cloud storage in Taskade?
Yes. Taskade supports direct file uploads from Google Drive and Dropbox. Attach documents, images, and other files to tasks, comments, or chat messages without downloading them locally first — keeping your workflow streamlined and your files organized.
