Task Canvas

Task Canvas is a Kanban board that lives inside the Unity Editor. No more alt-tabbing to Trello or Notion.

I built this because I was tired of losing focus every time I needed to update a task. Going to update the task in Trello and ending by watching a YouTube video.

What makes it different:

Each card and column is stored as a separate JSON file. This means when you and your team use Git, you won't get merge conflicts on a giant monolithic file. Cards merge cleanly.

Performance was a priority. The board uses lazy loading and an LRU cache, so even if you have hundreds of cards, only the visible ones are loaded.

What you can do:

Drag cards between columns (with smooth animations)

Add tags, assignees, due dates, and checklists to cards

Track time on tasks with the built-in timer

Link Unity assets to cards - click to select them in Project

Press Ctrl+T to create cards without opening the main window

Start from templates: Kanban, Sprint, Bug Tracking, or empty

Setup:

Open Window > Task Canvas or use Ctrl Alt T to open the Task Canvas window and create your first board. Cards are saved to a configurable folder (default: Assets/TaskCanvasData). Change it in Settings if you prefer another location.

Nothing is included in your builds.
