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.
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.
