Task board for small teams

Log it. Move it.
Done by evening.

Dayboard is a quiet place to write down today's work and walk it from to do, to in progress, to done. One line to capture a task. One drag to move it. Notes beside the board, and a team when you need one.

Runs in the browser. Nothing to install. A personal board comes with every account.

Capture

Type it the way you'd say it.

Write the task, press Enter, and it's on the board. Add #project to file it somewhere else. Say tomorrow, fri, next week or sep 20 and Dayboard turns it into a due date. A chip shows what it understood, and one click keeps the words as words instead.

  • Press / or n anywhere to start typing.
  • An unknown #name creates the project on the spot.
  • Overdue tasks turn red and are counted in the header.
  • Filters you set apply to what you add next.

What's on the board

Enough structure to keep a team honest. Not one column more.

Stages you name yourself

Every project starts with To do, In progress and Done. Rename them, add Backlog, Review or Shipped, up to twenty. Each stage has a category, so Dayboard still knows what counts as finished.

Subtasks and comments

Break a task into up to a hundred subtasks, each with its own stage, assignee and due date. Comments and a full history live on the task, so the why stays next to the what.

Mentions that reach people

Type @ in a comment to bring someone in. They get an email, and a Mentions view lists everything addressed to them, newest first. Switch off the emails you don’t want.

Notes beside the board

Every project has a notes page. Markdown with a toolbar, live preview, checklists you can tick while reading, and search across titles and bodies. It saves as you type.

My tasks, in one place

A board of everything assigned to you, one section per project, with a progress ring for your share of the work. The sidebar keeps a count of what’s still open.

Teams with sensible roles

Invite people by email. Guests read, members edit, admins manage projects and people, owners can hand it all over. A personal board is always yours alone.

A task, opened

Everything about a task, on one page.

Click a card and it opens in a window: title, description in Markdown, project, stage, type, due date and assignee. Subtasks, comments and history sit underneath. Every task has its own address, so a link in a chat or an email opens it straight away.

Notes

Where the thinking goes.

Meeting notes, plans, half-formed ideas. Jot a title, press Enter, and start writing. Pin the ones that matter. Notes belong to a project, just like tasks, so the board and the reasoning behind it stay together.

How it works

Three steps, then it stays out of the way.

  1. 01

    Sign up

    Name, email, password. A personal board is ready before the confirmation email arrives.

  2. 02

    Log today

    Type what needs doing. Move cards as the day goes. Tick them off, then archive the done column when it’s full.

  3. 03

    Bring the team

    Create an organization and invite people by email. Assign tasks, mention each other, and keep one shared board.

Saves as you go

Changes show instantly and are sent in the background. If the server says no, the board reloads so you never see something that didn’t stick.

Always current

The board refreshes when your tab comes back into focus, when the connection returns, and every minute while it’s open.

Nothing to install

A fast single-page app in the browser, served from Cloudflare’s edge, with the same address on your laptop and your phone.

Questions

The short answers.

Can I use Dayboard on my own?
Yes. Every account gets a personal board with projects, stages, tasks and notes. Organizations are there for when you want to share.
How do I share a board with my team?
Create an organization from the switcher at the top of the sidebar, then invite people by email from Organization settings. An invitation link signs them in or up and drops them straight onto the board.
What can each role do?
Guests can only read. Members create and edit tasks, subtasks and notes, and comment. Admins also manage projects, stages, task types, members and invitations. Owners can transfer or delete the organization.
How do due dates work?
Type a phrase in the task input, such as today, tomorrow, fri, next monday, in 3 days, sep 20 or 2026-09-30, and it becomes the due date. A chip shows what was detected, and you can dismiss it to keep the words as text. There is a calendar picker too.
Does it work offline?
No. Dayboard is built for a connection. Changes show immediately and save in the background, and the board reloads when your connection returns or when the tab regains focus.
Are notes plain text or Markdown?
Markdown. The editor has a toolbar and keyboard shortcuts for headings, emphasis, links, code, quotes and lists, and a preview where you can tick checklist items. HTML in a note is sanitized.
What happens to done tasks?
They stay in the Done column until you archive them. Archive moves that project’s done tasks and their subtasks out of the way, and the archive loads when you open it. Every task keeps its own page, archived or not.
Do I have to verify my email?
You can start straight away. Unverified accounts lose access after seven days and cannot create organizations, invite, or accept invitations, so verify from the email we send when you sign up.

Make a board, type three things, move one to done. That's the whole onboarding.
