Mini Kanban
The Mini Kanban is a compact board view on your dashboard that organizes all your tracks by their current workflow stage. Instead of scrolling through a list, you see everything at a glance — ideas on the left, finished tracks on the right, and everything in between.
This view is especially useful when you want to see the big picture of where your music stands across all projects.
What You’ll See
Section titled “What You’ll See”The Mini Kanban appears as a horizontal row of columns on your dashboard. Each column represents a workflow stage, and your tracks appear as cards within their corresponding columns.
The columns shown match your configured workflow stages. The default stages are Seed, Sprout, Sapling, Tree, and Flower, but your workspace may have different stage names if you’ve customised them in Settings.
Reading the Board
Section titled “Reading the Board”Each track card in the Mini Kanban shows key information at a glance:
- Track title — the song name
- Thumbnail — artwork or a generated gradient if none is set
- Stage indicator — a colored bar or badge showing current progress
- Due date chip — appears if the track has a deadline set
- Collaborator dots — small indicators showing if others are working on the track
The cards are sized to fit multiple tracks per column while keeping the entire board visible on your screen. This makes it easy to scan your entire catalog without scrolling.

Why Use the Mini Kanban
Section titled “Why Use the Mini Kanban”The Mini Kanban helps you answer questions like:
- “What needs attention?” — Tracks stuck in one stage for too long stand out visually.
- “What’s close to release?” — Your Ready to Post column shows exactly what’s waiting to go out.
- “How balanced is my workload?” — See if all your effort is going into one stage while others sit empty.
- “Where are my deadlines?” — Tracks with due dates show chips that make upcoming releases obvious.
Instead of opening individual projects or scrolling through lengthy lists, you get a real-time snapshot of your entire production pipeline.
Dashboard Placement
Section titled “Dashboard Placement”The Mini Kanban sits prominently on your main dashboard page, alongside other widgets like upcoming deadlines and recent activity. Its horizontal layout makes it the widest element on the page, drawing attention to your workflow at a glance.
