PrioriTask - Personal Kanban board for everyone, easy to get started with

by•

An easy to use personal Kanban board. Have you ever felt like you need a Scrum or Kanban board just to keep track of your personal commitments, but all available tools are to team oriented or time consuming? Then PrioriTask could be the app for you.

I came up with this idea when my partner studied at the university. She ended up with a lots of ideas about topics to study further, things needing to be done but had no organizational skills. First a bought a white board for her and put it on the wall in her study room with 4 kolumns, Backlog, Todo, Doing and Done. It worked well until she started studying on the other floor, or we went to our summer house. I introduced her to established Scrum and Kanban apps but they proved to be to detailed and complicated for personal use, resulting in her not using them. She also needed help with prioritizing her tasks, so I came up with a way of doing that by looking at the time something takes to complete and the utility of completing it compared to other tasks. It all boiled down to PrioriTask, a light weight personal Kanban app with a bit of influences from Scrum and Lean on top, but without the parts complicating the process.

This is such a refreshing approach to personal task management. @marcus_friberg Does PrioriTask offer any integrations with popular apps like Google Calendar or To-Do? It would be awesome if it could seamlessly sync with existing workflows. Love the idea of simplifying Kanban for personal use.

@oscar_oscar3 Thank you🙏. Not at this moment, it's in the very early stages right now but I keep an open mind for syncing with calendars in the future. Right now there is no "deadline" feature for tasks, so putting them into a calendar would be quite a wild shot at this moment. The way I use it is I put everything I have to do "some time in the future" in the backlog, if I have something I have to do at a certain point it ends up in my calendar. Every Sunday evening I'll look in my backlog and moves what every tasks I aim to complete in the coming week to "To do", and then I work with those over the next 7 days. Other users I talked to do this every morning and plan for a day only, and some do it every 2 or 3 weeks. So for me, my tasks goes either to PrioriTask or the Calendar app, but rarely both. This how every may change if I add deadlines for tasks, and In that case I probably looking into syncing with different calendars.

Hey Marcus, I'm interested in the prioritization feature. Can you explain a bit more about how it calculates task priority? Do you have any plans to add optional features for users who might want slightly more advanced capabilities, like time tracking or recurring tasks? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Thank you 🙏. I simply used a method commonly used in Lean organisations for priority calculation, the user can fill in how much time is required and the utility of completing the task, this is no fixed units or so, just an estimate comparing to the other tasks, high utility gives a high score, and low time also gives a high score, these scores are then calculated together resulting in a priority where a task that is of medium utility but very fast to complete will be of higher priority then a task that is of high utility but much slower to complete. It gives a good balance of actually getting things done and getting important things done, resulting in a feeling of making good progress. Im looking at more features, like the ability to schedule the creation of tasks and make the repetitive, like you can create a scheduled task that will be created lets say "pay the bills" and have it being created very month at a given date and put in your todo and more of that sort.

@marcus_friberg PrioriTask's simplicity and task prioritization are great! A quick "focus mode" could add even more value by highlighting the most urgent task. Best of luck with the launch!

This looks super promising! 🙌 I love the idea of a lightweight Kanban board specifically for personal use. So many other tools are either too team-focused or way too complicated for just keeping my own life organized. The prioritization feature based on time and utility is genius! Definitely going to check this out - signed up for early access! 🚀

PrioriTask sounds like a thoughtful and well-designed solution to a common problem—balancing productivity with simplicity. I love how it combines the structure of Kanban and Scrum, but without the unnecessary complexity that can turn people away from using those systems for personal projects. The added prioritization feature based on time and utility makes it even more practical for those juggling multiple tasks and projects. This could be a game-changer for students, freelancers, or anyone looking for a lightweight tool to stay organized without being overwhelmed. Great job on creating something that truly fits the user’s needs! Best of luck with the launch!
