Mindmap

Mindmap draws your projects, tasks and subtasks as a graph. It is the view for breaking a big goal into pieces and for seeing what blocks what.

The Mindmap view

Layouts

Pick a layout from the Layout control:

  • Tree: hierarchy first, project to task to subtask. Best for breaking work down.
  • Cloud: a force-directed cloud where related work clusters together. Best for seeing the overall shape.
  • Radial: everything arranged around a center. Best for a compact overview of a large graph.

Drag a card to place it by hand. Auto-arrange clears manual positions and re-fits the layout.

Dependencies

Dashed arrows are dependencies. Select a task and its chain is highlighted by direction:

  • Green: the selected task blocks the task the arrow points to.
  • Amber: the selected task is blocked by the task at the arrow's tail.

The Dependencies control switches between All deps, Selected deps and No deps, which keeps a busy graph readable.

Editing from the graph

  • Drag a card onto another to make it a subtask of that task.
  • Drag from a card's dependency handle onto another task to say "this one depends on that one" (blocked by). Right-click a dependency arrow to remove it.
  • New project and the inline card creator let you add a project, task or subtask without leaving the view.

Everything you change here is the same data as everywhere else: see Tasks.
