Fokus

Kanban

Your week as columns — plan, reorder, and finish tasks with a live timeline of today beside you.

Kanban is the workbench of Fokus. Each column is a day, each card is a task, and the panel on the right is today's actual timeline — so while you plan the week, you never lose sight of what the day really looks like.

Reading the board

  • The summary bar at the top of each column shows completed vs. planned tasks, total focus time, and tracked time for that day.
  • Cards carry everything at a glance: the scheduled time chip, priority flag, energy level, due date (red when overdue!), bucket chip, and the estimated duration. A small AI badge means the Task Enrichment Agent filled in missing details for you.
  • The timeline panel on the right mirrors today hour by hour — events, scheduled tasks, rest periods (the hatched blocks), and a red line for now.

Working with cards

Here's the part everyone finds by accident, so let's make it official:

  • Click the task title to complete it (cue confetti 🎉). Click again to un-complete.
  • Click anywhere else on the card to open the full task view with every field — dates, priority, objective, subtasks, and an "Ask AI" bar.
  • Hover a card to reveal quick controls: edit title, set due date, link an objective, start a timer, or adjust the estimate — all without opening anything.
  • Drag a card to another day to move it. Drag it onto the timeline panel to give it an exact time.
Click the title to check it off — the day counter and analytics update instantly.

The header

Hover near the top of the screen and the header slides in: the view switcher (Kanban / Buckets / Calendar / Analytics), date navigation, Filters (priority, energy, bucket), and the sparkles button — AI Quick Actions — where Smart Scheduling, the Morning Briefing, and the End-of-Day Review live.

Each column also has its own controls for layout, sorting, stacking, and filtering, plus a + to add a task directly to that day.

Don't schedule by hand unless you want to

Cards with times got them from the auto-scheduler. If your day gets rearranged by a meeting, just hit Optimize Schedule in AI Quick Actions instead of dragging everything around — see Smart Scheduling.
