Since the beginning of time, humans have relied on collaboration and communication to conquer mammoth tasks and advance themselves. Humans realized pretty early that what one man cannot accomplish single-handedly can be done easily with a group-effort. This was the basis of the foundation of our civilization.
Modern technology has revolutionized collaboration and made it possible for people far away to work together seamlessly. In fact, 83% of today’s employees depend on technology for collaboration. Today there are multiple tools that help people work together and get tasks done. However, not all of them offer the right blend of features and flexibility needed for proper teamwork.
Most modern collaboration and task management are created primarily for office work and often ignore the needs of other teams who would like to collaborate. Let’s take an example of a group of musicians spread across the globe who want to collaborate for an album; or a team of students who wish to collaborate for a science project. There are hardly any applications that provide them the necessary features and flexibility.
This review will be focusing on Taskade, a unique collaboration and task management tool that takes care of your ideas, tasks, and teams to help you get the most out of them. Rather than being a formal or informal collaboration tool, Taskade aims to be a wholesome productivity tool that enables you to manage and keep a note of everything on your mind, no matter what the nature of the work is.
Since the human brain retains visual information much better than words, the makers of Taskade paid special attention to aesthetics. There is also a feature called ‘MindMap,’ which helps you group tasks visually. There are several other collaborative features that we will be discussing in the detailed review below.
This review will unpack the following:
So let’s dive right in and discover what this application is all about.

Every step of a project can be shared, tracked, organized, assigned, divided, updated, and prioritized using Taskade, ensuring that the entire team is on the same page at any given time.
Taskade also allows for multiple channels of communication, which include video calling, chat, and notes. Also, you get an array of emojis. Additionally, you can customize the type of notifications you want to have on your desktop, emails, and mobile applications.

Taskade lets you do that too!

Best Features of Taskade
There are multiple features of Taskade that set it apart from other productivity tools. In fact, with its stunning yet simple UI, which is highly customizable, you might feel that it isn’t a productivity app at all.
Taskade improves teams’ efficiency while keeping it fun and allows features that help members stay updated, organized, and do more. Whether you are a pro or a novice, whether it’s an official task or a passion project, Taskade’s got you covered. Here are a few key features that make Taskade a class apart:
1. Nesting System
Taskade allows you to segregate teams based on their specialty and create nesting systems based on the type of tasks. Thus, if you have a team of designers and a team of developers, for example, you can separate them and keep them under separate subspaces. You can invite members to subspaces and assign them specific tasks according to their skills. You can also have shared spaces where your entire team can interact.
Separate channels for your teams allow you to compartmentalize work and conversations and avoid confusion.
2. Project Management and Labeling
Another great feature about Taskade is that it allows you to add labels to projects based on priority. Once a project is assigned to a member, they receive notifications and the timeline by which it needs to be completed. Tasks can also be pinned and filtered by priority so that important tasks are never missed.
Each project can be made to have a To-do list and a due date. You can also set up custom reminders for tasks and leave additional notes and attachments. The members assigned also get a notification when notes, comments, or attachments are added to a project. This way, members don’t miss a beat and can always be updated about projects. The calendar for each member can also be viewed by others so that everyone knows what each team member is working on.
3. Project Viewing & Permissions
It is often hard to keep track of different projects and teams you are working on, so Taskade allows you multiple views. You can choose among the ‘List View,’ ‘Board View,’ ‘Mind-Map’ and ‘Orchard View’ in Taskade depending upon what works best for you.
You can also assign permissions to team members as Viewers or Editors based on their role in a project. Additionally, you can add or remove people from projects easily using this application.
4. Templates
Perhaps the most unique feature of Taskade is the wide assortment of templates for you to work with. It has templates that you can set up for official meetings and use for less formal meets. Taskade also has plans to introduce premium templates for those of us who hate working with the same boring backgrounds.
5. Crosslinking & Hyperlinking
Another impressive feature of Taskade is that it allows connecting projects within your workspace using the ‘@’ function. Thus you can easily find and link related projects, which saves you much time.
Additionally, you can also hyperlink tasks and subtasks, allowing members to get better references for tasks.
Other exciting features of Taskade include light & dark modes, task duplication, affordable plans per workspace and user, and easy integration with Google Calendar.
Final Thoughts
With a stunning UI, galore of templates, easy notifications, and a bunch of tools for easy collaboration, Taskade is undoubtedly in a league of its own. It also has plans to introduce Offline Mode, more backgrounds and templates, and additional file upload space in its upcoming premium versions, which will make it even better in the days to come.
