Task Board
A kanban board per workspace, in the Dashboard drawer.
Each workspace has its own kanban board. It is on the To-Do tab of the Dashboard drawer.
Open the board
- Press ⌘B (Toggle Dashboard), or choose Dashboard in the app menu, then the To-Do tab.
- Or click the task counts at the left of the status bar. This opens the drawer on To-Do. Click again to close it.
- While the drawer is open, ⌘1, ⌘2 and ⌘3 select its tabs: To-Do, Voice and Statistics.
Columns and labels
A new board has four columns: Backlog, To-Do, In Progress and Done. Columns have a name, color, icon and order. The default labels are Bug, Feature, Improvement and Urgent. You can add your own labels with a name and color, and a card can have several.
Cards
A card has a title, a description, a project, labels and an optional due date. Drag cards between columns to change their status. Click a card to open its detail view and edit every field. Archive a card to take it off the board. The archive lets you restore or delete archived cards.
Quick Add
Press ⌥⌘T from anywhere in Highwind to open Quick Add. Type a title, pick a project and labels, and press ⌘Return to add the card. The shortcut can be changed in Settings → Shortcuts.
Filtering
Filter the board by project, by label, or with the search field. The board and the status bar counts follow the selected view: they show cards for the projects in that view. In Focus, the board is the board of the workspace the selected view comes from, filtered to the projects in that view.
Tasks from agents
With MCP turned on, agents can read and change the board with list_tasks, add_task, add_tasks, update_task, move_task, delete_task and archive_task. The tool descriptions tell agents to add tasks only when you ask.
