01 / the board

Move work the way you think.

Drag cards between columns, reorder the columns to match your workflow, and collapse the ones you are not using. Keep a separate board for work, personal, and whatever else.

Columns are yours to shape. Add, rename, and rearrange until the board reads the way your week actually runs.

02 / the card

Every detail lives inside the card

A card is more than a title. Open one and you get a full description, a checklist for the steps, labels for context, and a record of when it was created and last touched.

Nothing gets scattered across separate notes or documents. The task carries its own history.

04 / nothing gets lost

Finished work leaves the board, not your history.

Archive cards instead of deleting them, then restore anything later. If you really mean it, delete it for good. Nothing disappears by accident.

Export every board as JSON when you want a backup, and import it on another machine. Your data stays portable, not locked in.

05 / the rest

Everything a task manager should be, without the bloat

Reorder checklist items

Drag checklist items into the order you want. Existing text, checked state and ordering are preserved.

Duplicate a card

Right-click any card to duplicate it, then adjust the copy instead of retyping the whole thing.

Calm, polished labels

Categorize tasks with labels that look clean and professional. No visual clutter, just useful colour coding.

Light, dark or system

Pick a theme or follow your system setting. The board, cards and dialogs all switch with it.

Works offline

Once installed, the board keeps working without a connection. Nothing needs a round trip to load.

Keyboard shortcuts

Press / to search, move with the arrow keys, hit Enter to open. Escape closes anything you opened.

Task in Tab, in plain answers

What it does, how it works, and what happens to your data.

What is Task in Tab?

A Chrome extension that replaces your new tab page with a personal Kanban board. Every new tab shows your tasks, columns, and boards. No separate app, no sign-in, no setup.

Is my data safe?

Your tasks, boards, labels, and settings are stored locally in your browser using Chrome’s built-in storage. Nothing is sent to an external server, and no one can access that data but you.

What happens if I uninstall it?

Chrome removes the extension’s local storage when you uninstall, so export a backup first if you want to keep your boards. You can import that file again on any machine.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything is stored locally, so creating, editing, and organizing tasks works with no internet connection at all.

Is it really free?

Yes. No premium tiers, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.

Your tasks deserve better than sticky notes

No sign-up, no credit card, no data collection. A clean board in every new tab.
