Have you ever felt lost in the clutter of tasks and ideas?
Are you tired of wasting hours when starting new projects?
Do you want to look at your tasks from new angles?
The way you visualize tasks directly impacts your efficiency. And perspective is everything. But most project management tools out there serve the cookie-cutter approach. 🍪
When everybody else expects you to put in tons of manual work just to start a project, we want you to leave the heavy lifting to us. Our smart AI assistant and dynamic project workflows will help you transform your tasks and work like you never worked before.
So you can focus on what you do best.
🦩 It All Starts with The Origami Method
Origami is the ancient art of folding a sheet of paper into a sculpture without cutting, gluing, or marking the paper. Every fold signifies a transformation, subtle, nuanced, and deliberate.
The Origami Method lies at the heart of Taskade’s power to transform your tasks and projects in multiple ways. From a simple to-do list, the starting point of all great projects, to high-level workflows, Taskade allows you to sculpt and refine your vision before you bring it to life.
Each project is a living document with six unique views that give you infinite creative possibilities and a place to think. Your project data is structured and persistent across all views, so you can transform your tasks and workflows one “fold” at a time, without losing context.
Let’s see how that works. 👇
📃 List View — Organize, Outline, Manage
Every great project starts with a plan.
Ok, let us take that back.
Every great project starts with a list.
It can be as simple as a few business ideas scribbled on a napkin or thoughts jotted down in the middle of the night. Lists are the spark that drives growth.
The linear nature of the List view promotes focus, with each item, no matter how small, acting as a stepping stone toward the bigger picture. A document outline, a simple to-do, a multi-level checklist, lists set the groundwork for action.
⚙️ Who Is This View For?
Whether you’re a startup founder, a novelist, or just like to keep your life and work organized, the List view will keep you on track. Here are some of the most popular use cases you can try:
| Daily Task Management | Outlining |
| Prioritization of Tasks | Setting Task Dependencies |
| Breaking Tasks into Steps | Project Milestones |

⚡ Action View — Detail, Clarify, Act
A wise man once said, “When tasks meet detail, mastery follows.”
A task without context is just an item on your to-do list. It may stay there forever if you don’t make it actionable and set it in motion. This is where the Action view comes into play.
The Action view is Taskade’s answer to the boring spreadsheet format. Turn tasks into context-rich and comprehensive action items, complete with assignees, due dates, comments, and attachments. Bring clarity, direction, and momentum to your strategy.

If you’re a Getting Things Done (GTD) enthusiast, this workflow is for you. Detail-driven and ready for action, the Action view gives you a high-level overview of every initiative.
