Finding your way around ​

Everything on a board is reached from the two bars at the top.

A board with numbered markers on the top bars

8DisplayHow cards look and how they are grouped.

Also on the bars: Presets (saved combinations of Filter and Display), Log time, the bell (things that need you: mentions and reminders) and your initials (account settings and signing out).

Inside a list ​

Each list has its name, a count of its cards, a button with two arrows to fold it into a narrow strip, and its own ⋯ menu: rename, color, the order of its cards, move it left or right, what its cards count as, hide or delete it.

A list of finished work may also show a line such as "5 older · Show · Archive…". That is explained in done cards and the archive.

Keys worth knowing ​

Keys work when you are not typing in a box. ⌘ is the Command key on a Mac; on Windows use Ctrl instead, here and everywhere in these guides.

On a phone ​

The same board fits a phone. Press and hold to drag a card, a list or a row. Kanbanto can also be added to your home screen from your browser's menu ("Install" or "Add to Home Screen"), where it opens like an app.
