Taskz

The more technology advances, the more we can accomplish throughout the day by leveraging the digital version of ubiquitous tools, such as journals, painting canvases and calendar planners. As a result, it can be challenging to tackle multiple projects in an increasingly shorter amount of time, which is why structuring and organizing them in a more accessible format can make a considerable difference in the long run.

While many tend to have a mixture of whiteboards, post-it notes and digital notebooks for tracking their progress, one way of combining all three can be done through a concept known as a Kanban board, the Japanese term for “visual signal”, which makes it easier to create a more intuitive, stacked, vertical layout for the various steps concerning a particular task and create categories denoting the status and due date of each item.

Instead of creating the layout themselves through word processors, users can try out dedicated programs such as Taskz, which, in spite of its slightly trickier setup process, it does possess certain advantages over a designated client. Firstly, since a MySQL or MariaDB type of database is required, its contents can be more easily backed up compared to manually exporting them in a proprietary format.

Apart from users having full control of their data compared to other services that tend to sacrifice privacy for the sake of convenience, the utility can be ran through your preferred web browser by connecting to its local server address, which allows them to easily keep it in a pinned tab when navigating between opened webpages or pasting research paper paragraphs for use in assignments.

Moreover, since ideas can sometimes change according to newly presented evidence and more concrete details in further iterations of the source material, users can also rename the headers of task list groups and create separate boards for each project.
