Customize Fields and Statuses to Fit Your Workflow

No two projects are the same, so your setup should not be either. Tasks lets you customize both fields and statuses so every project captures exactly what you need.

Fields - capture what matters

Every project starts with a default Text field, but you can add much more: Date, Tags, Priority, Collaborators, Task Type, Assets, Comments, and Subtasks. Long press your project, tap Modify Fields, and add whatever you need.

Give fields clear, specific names. Instead of "Date", try "Launch Date" or "Review By". It makes tasks much easier to scan at a glance.

Some field types - Text, Date, Tags, and Collaborators - support multiple instances. So a project can have both a Due Date and a Start Date.

Statuses - define your workflow stages

Statuses are the columns on your Kanban board. They represent the stages a task moves through. Every status is either Pending or Completed, which tells Tasks whether tasks in that column are still active or done.

Each status gets its own color and icon, making your board easy to read at a glance. Use distinct colors for Pending and Completed statuses so you can tell them apart instantly.

16+ templates to get started

Not sure where to start? Tasks comes with templates across Personal, Work & Business, Students, and Family & Home. Each one has fields and statuses already configured.
