Definition: A subspace in Taskade was a folder-like area inside a workspace that grouped projects for a team, a client, or a topic. With Taskade Genesis, Teams, Folders, and Subspaces are now called apps. They organize work the same way as before, and each app adds a Preview tab that shows its interface.
TL;DR: If you search for "Taskade subspaces", you want apps. An app sits inside a workspace, holds its own projects, AI agents, automations, members, and templates, and shows a tile with counts on your workspace Home. Your old Teams, Folders, and Subspaces did not go away. They appear as tiles. Build an app free →
The name changed because the job grew. A folder only stored projects. An app can also run as a live, published interface built by Taskade EVE. Source: Hierarchy Structure and Guide to the New UI.
Subspace Organization Benefits
Grouping work into apps gives you four practical benefits.
- Separation: Keep a client, a department, or a product apart from the rest of the workspace.
- Scoped access: Members do not get access to every app automatically. Invite people per app.
- Focus: Each app has its own projects, agents, automations, and templates in one place.
- Portability: Duplicate or move an app from the tile menu.
Subspace Management Features
| Task | How it works today |
|---|---|
| See your apps | Tiles under the input box on the workspace Home. See App Tiles. |
| Read counts | Each tile shows how many projects, AI agents, and automations the app holds |
| Quick actions | Click the three dots on a tile: Settings, Share or Publish, Duplicate or Move, copy link, open in a new tab |
| Set access | Share the app by email, username, or link, and set the level of access. See App Permissions. |
| Switch apps | Use the app crumb in the breadcrumb bar at the top of any screen |
A shared workspace does not give access to every folder or app inside it. Share each one on its own. Source: Create a Workspace and Create a Team (Folder).
Worked Example: One Workspace, Three Clients
A consultancy runs one workspace.
- It creates one app per client: "Acme Onboarding", "Northwind Reporting", "Internal".
- It invites Acme's contact to the Acme app only, so Acme sees nothing else.
- Each app holds its own projects and an AI agent trained on that client's files.
- On Home, three tiles show the counts, and the team opens the one it needs.
When the Northwind work ends, the team moves or duplicates the app from the tile menu, or archives the workspace it lives in if the whole engagement is over.
Connection to Taskade
Apps are the middle of the hierarchy: Workspace, folder or app, project, block, task. Workspaces hold billing and members. Apps scope permissions. Projects hold content. See Workspaces, Folders, and Project Organization.
What You Would Build in Taskade
Say "a client portal with a project tracker, a status agent, and a weekly report automation". Taskade EVE builds it as an app you can preview, share, or publish. Describe yours and build it free →

Frequently Asked Questions About Subspaces
What are subspaces in Taskade?
Subspaces were folder-like areas inside a workspace. With Taskade Genesis, Teams, Folders, and Subspaces are now called apps.
What replaced subspaces in Taskade?
Apps replaced them. Apps organize work the same way and add a Preview tab that shows the app's interface.
Did I lose my old subspaces?
No. Your existing Teams, Folders, and Subspaces are still there. They show as tiles under the input box on your workspace Home.
How do I give someone access to one app only?
Open the app, click Share, and invite the person by email, username, or link. A shared workspace does not grant access to every app inside it.
Can I move or duplicate an app?
Yes. Click the three dots on the app tile and pick Duplicate or Move.
What is the difference between a workspace and an app?
A workspace is the top level. It holds billing and members. An app sits inside it and holds projects, agents, automations, and templates for one area of work.
Can I publish an app?
Yes. The tile menu has Share and Publish options. Custom domains for published Taskade Genesis apps are available on Business and above.
