taskboard + documents in one place

NestBoard takes the best parts of task boards and document tools, then turns them into a faster visual workspace. Your projects, research, writing, and daily information stay easy to see, switch, and return to.

Task boards

Good for moving work through columns, but often too narrow when you need richer context, references, and documents in the same place.

Document tools

Good for notes and knowledge bases, but less visual when you want many streams of information visible at once.

NestBoard

Brings both together with visual columns, rich cards, markdown docs, spaces, and instant board switching.

Board

A board is a visual space where you define columns and place information cards inside them. Each board can match a different kind of thinking: research, writing, planning, study, references, or anything else you want to keep visible.

It is not locked to one work style. One board can be a reading board with source material, another can be a project flow, and another can be a home for docs, links, and ideas you want to remember later.

Give each board its own background, columns, and mood.
Keep the information you need in front of you instead of buried in folders.
Jump between boards in tabs like switching browser contexts.

Sources

In View

Draft notes you are writing against right now.
Comparison points you want to keep on screen.

Remember Later

Ideas, follow-ups, and links to revisit.
Workspace

A workspace is a group of boards loaded together for a bigger area of life or work. Instead of opening one screen at a time, you keep a set of related boards ready to switch between instantly.

That means a writing workspace can hold your outline board, research board, chapter board, and reference board in one place. A study workspace can keep every subject ready without mixing it into your personal boards.

Build separate spaces for Work, Study, Writing, Research, or Personal life.
Think of it like a screen set for a larger context, not a single isolated board.
Load a group of boards and move between them without losing momentum.

Card

A card is a flexible information unit. It can hold tasks, links, images, markdown docs, timers, sub-items, tags, colors, and structured reference data. That is why NestBoard feels richer than a simple task board.

With md-writer and md-reader, cards can open full markdown editing and reading flows in a visual, intuitive way, so documents live inside the same workspace as the rest of your thinking.

Write and read markdown docs without leaving the board context.
Mix tasks, links, screenshots, notes, and supporting material in one card system.
Track progress with timers, due dates, sub-items, and tags when the card needs more structure.

Features
Your Board. Your Rules.

Build visual boards with the columns and cards your flow needs. NestBoard gives you flexible structure without forcing you into a single app pattern.

Cross-Device Sync

Start on your desktop, continue on your phone. Encrypted sync keeps all your boards up to date everywhere.

Offline-First

Everything lives locally first. Works perfectly without internet. Syncs quietly when you're back online.

Import & Export

Full JSON import/export. Share boards as reusable templates, back up your data, restore with one click.

Make every board truly yours.
Set theme and background for each one

Every board should feel different: choose colors, set a background image, and keep a visual style that matches your project. You can also pick from favorite themes to launch new boards faster while keeping your workspace consistent.

Background discovery is powered by Unsplash, so finding high-quality images is fast and seamless.

Move through your cards
the way you already work

Drag cards with your mouse, copy and paste with context menus, click through boards, or switch to full keyboard control when you want speed. It feels closer to moving files around your computer than fighting a rigid app flow.

Capture from anywhere

Automation Inbox

Incoming information waits in a protected delivery area instead of directly changing your encrypted boards.
