Key Features

See your tasks in a whole new light

Transform how you see your tasks using the intuitive Kanban board with customisable columns, swimlanes, WIP limits and visual indicators. Visualising & limiting your work in progress helps you maintain focus on what matters most and gives you a clear picture of progress at a glance.

Drag-and-drop task management

Effortlessly move tasks between workflow stages using drag-and-drop. Prioritise your work by reordering tasks, columns and swimlanes to match how you work, while all changes sync seamlessly with your task manager.

Prioritisation via Eisenhower matrix

Prioritize your tasks using the proven Eisenhower matrix to categorize work by importance and urgency. Filter your Kanban board based on these strategic choices to focus on what truly matters and avoid reactive work patterns.

Multi-platform task integration

Visualize tasks from OmniFocus and Apple Reminders together on a single board. Flowcus remembers your board layout and task positions between sessions, with deep integration allowing you to view tasks in context, update completion status, and manipulate flags directly from your unified Kanban board.

Making Lean Thinking Visible in Task Management

Problem Statement

Modern knowledge work demands more sophisticated task management than traditional tools provide. Modelling tasks as being either 'to do' or 'done' (or in some cases 'dropped') doesn't necessarily reflect the reality of how our work flows through our systems. We frequently encounter blockers to progress, wait for dependencies and move through different stages to complete our work. We need to visualize not just what needs to be done, but where work is in its lifecycle, why it might be stuck, and how important it really is.

Traditional task managers presenting work as two-dimensional lists make it difficult to:

  • See the flow of work across different stages
  • Identify bottlenecks and blocked items at a glance
  • Apply lean principles like limiting work-in-progress (WIP)
  • Strategically prioritize using proven frameworks like the Eisenhower matrix
  • View tasks from multiple systems in one unified workspace

The Flowcus Solution

Flowcus bridges this gap by providing a lean-focused board view for your tasks. It introduces:

  • Unified Multi-Platform View: Visualize tasks from OmniFocus and Apple Reminders together on a single board
  • Strategic Prioritization: Use the Eisenhower matrix to categorize tasks by importance and urgency, then filter your board accordingly
  • Visual Work States: Tasks can exist in customizable columns that reflect real workflow stages
  • Explicit Blocking: Tasks can be marked as blocked with specific reasons, making impediments visible and trackable
  • WIP Limits: Columns can enforce work-in-progress limits to prevent overload and identify bottlenecks
  • Swimlanes: Organize work by project, priority, or any dimension while maintaining the flow view
  • Drag-and-Drop Flow: Move tasks between states intuitively while keeping your task manager as the source of truth

Flowcus doesn't replace your task managers—it unifies and enhances them by providing the missing visualization and prioritization layer that modern knowledge workers need to apply lean principles to their personal productivity. It makes the invisible visible, turning task management into strategic flow management.
