Hi Taskaders 🎉
We've worked hard to make Taskade work better for you! Here's what's new:
TL;DR: The unified layout, drag-to-upload, and 48 highlight colors shipped in 2021 set the pattern for today's Taskade — now 7 project views, 15+ frontier AI models, and 100+ integrations. Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app powered by your workspace.
Then → Now: 2021's new layout, drag-to-upload, and highlight colors evolved into today's 7 project views and AI-generated color-coded layouts, with Taskade Genesis building entire workspaces from a single prompt.
⚡️ New Layout
We're thrilled to release an update to our workspace layout. This takes us one step closer towards our vision for a unified workspace. Send us your feedback and let's work together to turn ideas into action!
⚡️ Drag to Upload
Attaching files to your task just got easier, simply drag and drop your files onto your tasks to upload.
⚡️ Highlight Colors
We now support 48 new highlight colors to brighten your projects. Mix and match them to better organize your tasks!
📊 UX Polish: 2021 H2 vs Today
| Dimension | 2021 H2 | Today (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace layout | Unified v4.0 redesign | Aurora glass UI + 7 project views |
| File upload | Drag-and-drop onto tasks | Drag-drop + Google Drive + 100+ integrations |
| Highlighting | 48 highlight colors | 48 colors + AI custom fields for color-coded data |

🎨 Layout v4 → Aurora glass UI
The unified layout in 2021 was Taskade's first big visual redesign. Today the same shell is the Aurora glass design system — same instincts, much more polish.
