Landscape Kanban

Overview

Landscape Kanban turns your phone or tablet into a Kanban board. When a list is grouped, rotate your device sideways and each group becomes a column. Drag a task to another column to move it to that group.

The Week View works the same way: in landscape, each day becomes a column.

Turning it on

Landscape Kanban is a mobile feature and is on by default. You'll find it on the Features screen in the Mobile group. With it off, lists and the Week View stay in portrait.

Using the board

  1. Open your day list or a smart list.

  2. Open the list's three-dots menu and choose a Group by option, for example by category, label, priority or due date.

  3. Rotate your device to landscape.

Each group that has items becomes a column, showing its name and the number of items in it.

  • Tap a task's checkbox to complete it

  • Tap a task to edit it

  • Long-press a task and drag it to another column to move it to that group

For example, if you group by label and drag a task to the "Errands" column, the task gets the Errands label. Labels are only added, so the task keeps all its other labels, including the one from the column it came from. Dragging a task into the column for tasks with no label removes all its labels.

Week View

Open the Week View and rotate your device. Each day is a column, and you can drag tasks to a different day.

Rotate back to portrait to return to the normal view.
