Kanban Board

Do you prefer the Kanban view and rather categorize your tasks in columns? In Freelo, you can create a Kanban Board, which is a board with tasks organized in columns. To-Do lists are shown in columns and you can name them according to project planning such as Inbox, In progress/WIP, Done etc.

TIP: Are you a previous user of Trello?

In case you are used to the boards view in Trello, we recommend importing your data from Trello to Freelo.

Freelo will remember the next time you see it in the columns for the project, so you will not have to set it up anymore. You always click on the To-Do list

Move tasks between columns

Now you can start moving tasks between columns according to the current task status using drag&drop. You can even move the already completed tasks.

This also works when you want to reorder the tasks in your To-Do lists (move them higher or lower).
