Each every so often Google remembers that it runs a to do record app. Final month, it might appear, was a type of occasions: the tech big re-vamped the online model of the applying, altering the principle interface to resemble a kanban board.
I say “resemble” as a result of this is not a general-purpose kanban board like what’s provided by Trello, or a customized view of an present record, like what Todoist offers. These instruments are made with the belief that you’ll drag issues from left to proper as you make progress on them. (For instance, in my writing work I take advantage of a kanban board to trace my ongoing initiatives. I’ve columns for issues like “Define,” “Writing,” “Modifying,” and “Revealed,” in that order. I drag my mission playing cards from left to proper as I make progress.)
Google Duties is not fairly constructed for this this use case. The brand new interface merely presents all your lists as columns because the default view in your browser. If you happen to’re already utilizing your lists to distinguish initiatives or classes of activity, this may not be useful, until you had been actually hoping for a fast technique to transfer duties from one record to a different. But when you have not used a number of lists till now, you would use this new interface as a general-purpose kanban system—simply title your lists after totally different phases of your workflow and drag away.
It is price noting that this kanban view is simply provided on the internet model of Google Process, which you’ll find by heading to tasks.google.com or by clicking the duties icon within the top-right nook of Google Calendar. It hasn’t made its technique to the cell model but.

It is price noting which you could nonetheless discover a totally different model of Google Duties within the right-hand sidebar of each Google Calendar and Gmail; this view exhibits just one record at a time, as does the cell app.

Mainly, it is all somewhat inconsistent in the intervening time, which is sensible: It is nonetheless a Google product. Possibly Google will add the kanban view to the app the following time they bear in mind they personal a to do record app (my guess for when that may occur: January 2026).
