TL;DR: Blocks group tasks, notes, and media under H1/H2 headings so a single Taskade project can behave like a wiki, kanban, or database at once. Click ➕ Add Block to insert a new section, then build out tasks, tables, embeds, and AI prompts inside — all visible across all 8 project views.
Overview
Every project in Taskade is a collection of tasks and subtasks you can arrange in many different ways. Blocks let you quickly populate your Projects with pre-defined sets of tasks or bullets you can fill with anything you want. Each block type serves a different purpose, from simple checklists to free-form paragraphs.
Add a Block
- Scroll to the bottom or the top of a project.
- Click ➕ Add Block.

- ✅ Check — Interactive checkboxes for to-do items.

- ¶ Paragraph — Free-form text for documents and long-form content.

Tips
- Mix block types in a single project — for example, use a Check block for action items and a Paragraph block for meeting notes.
- Use the Drag Icon Menu to change a block's formatting type after it has been created.
- AI-generated blocks can be edited and restructured just like manually created content.
- Blocks work across all project views, so a Check block in List view becomes a card in Board view automatically.
