[Docs – A board per project](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#boards) - Video: a list is dragged by its header to a new place on the board. ### Lists Add, rename, reorder and archive lists – drag a list by its header or move it from the list menu. [Docs – Lists](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#lists) - Video: a new idea goes onto the content calendar in a few keystrokes. ### Cards in seconds Type a title at the bottom of a list and press Enter – the card is there and the field is ready for the next one. [Docs – Cards in seconds](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#cards) - Video: a card moves to the next list of a project board with drag and drop. ### Drag and drop Drag a card to another list or place, and everyone on the board sees the move at once. [Docs – Drag and drop](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#cards) - Video: on a phone, a card goes to the list “Done” with “Move to list” – no dragging needed. ### Move without dragging “Move to list” and “Position” in the card details, and the list menu, move cards and lists on phones and with the keyboard. [Docs – Move without dragging](https://contals.com/docs/en/reference/keyboard-shortcuts/#moving-without-dragging) - Video: a card title is clicked and renamed right on the card, then Enter. ### Titles edited on the card Click a card title and rename it right on the card – Enter saves, Escape cancels. [Docs – Titles edited on the card](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/inline-editing/#card-titles) 2 more features - Video: a card’s details open beside the board while the lists stay in view; a click on the next card swaps them. ### Card details in a sidebar Description, labels, people, due date, checklists, fields, files, comments and activity open beside the board – the lists stay in view. [Docs – Card details in a sidebar](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/card-details/#what-the-sidebar-shows) - Video: “Mark as done” in a card’s details – the card on the board shows at once that it is done. ### Mark as done A finished card is marked done – volunteers and guests can do it for the cards assigned to them. [Docs – Mark as done](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#cards) ## On the card - Video: a card gets a label in its details, and the coloured label appears on the card at once. ### Labels Coloured labels, with or without a name, mark cards so that a glance – or a filter – shows what belongs together. [Docs – Labels](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/labels-assignees-due-dates/#labels) - Video: a colleague is assigned to a card, and his avatar appears on the card. ### Assignees Put people on a card – they find it under My cards and get a line in their inbox. [Docs – Assignees](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/labels-assignees-due-dates/#assignees) - Video: the last two shifts of a checklist are ticked and its progress bar fills to 100 percent. ### Checklists Checklists on a card with a progress bar – paste several lines to add several items, and hide the ticked ones. [Docs – Checklists](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/checklists-and-fields/#checklists) - Video: a checklist item gets a person and a due date of its own; the avatar and the date appear beside it. ### A person and a date per item Each checklist item can have its own person and due date – it then shows up under My cards and in the calendar. [Docs – A person and a date per item](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/checklists-and-fields/#an-owner-and-a-due-date-per-item) - Video: a checklist item becomes a card of its own below its parent card, and the item links to it. ### Checklist items become cards An item that grew into a task becomes a card of its own – the item stays as a link and is ticked when the card is done. [Docs – Checklist items become cards](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/checklists-and-fields/#checklists) - Video: a custom dropdown field for the priority is set to “High”, and its coloured chip appears on the card. ### Custom fields Text, number, date, checkbox and dropdown fields for every card of a board, shown on the card front if you like. [Docs – Custom fields](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/checklists-and-fields/#custom-fields) 5 more features - Video: a comment is written on a card, and the comment count on the card goes from 1 to 2. ### Comments Questions and decisions stay on the card instead of in chats – edit or delete your comments, and the card shows how many there are. [Docs – Comments](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/inline-editing/#descriptions-and-comments) - Video: a comment on the card asks a colleague with an @mention. ### Mentions Type @ in a comment or description to mention someone on the board – they get a notification. [Docs – Mentions](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/attachments-and-text/#mentions) - Video: in a card’s description, one line becomes a heading and three lines a bulleted list from the toolbar. ### Formatted text Bold, lists, links, headings, quotes and code in descriptions and comments – and two people editing one description lose nothing. [Docs – Formatted text](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/attachments-and-text/#formatted-text) - Video: a picture is dropped onto a card’s details; its preview appears and the card shows it on the board. ### File attachments Drop, paste or photograph files onto a card, with previews and PDFs in the browser – photos lose their location and camera data on upload. [Docs – File attachments](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/attachments-and-text/#attach-files) - Video: on a card with two pictures, “Make cover” on the second – the card on the board shows it on top. ### Card covers The first picture on a card becomes its cover on the board, and “Make cover” picks another one. [Docs – Card covers](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/attachments-and-text/#the-cover) ## Working together - Video: two windows side by side – one person moves a card, and the other window shows the move a moment later. ### Real time Changes by others appear on every screen within a moment, without reloading. [Docs – Real time](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#live-for-everyone) - Video: back on a board, a strip sums up what others changed since your last visit, and “Show cards” lists the cards. ### Since your last visit Back on a board after a while, a strip sums up what others changed, and every changed card carries a dot. [Docs – Since your last visit](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#since-your-last-visit) - Video: the board setting marks stale cards after 14 days, and the forgotten open cards get an hourglass with their days. ### Stale cards Open cards without activity for a chosen number of days get a small marker, so forgotten work stands out. [Docs – Stale cards](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#stale-cards) - Video: the board’s activity is open while a colleague moves a card; his line appears at the top. ### Activity Every change is on record – in the activity of a card, of a board and of all your boards. [Docs – Activity](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/basics/#activity) - Video: a card’s number typed into the search finds the card first; the same number is on the card. ### Card numbers Every card has a short number such as GEM-12 that never changes – name a card by it on the phone or in the minutes, and search finds it. [Docs – Card numbers](https://contals.com/docs/en/settings/board/#card-numbers) - Video: the board key changes in the board’s settings, and every card number on the board follows at once. ### Renaming the board key Board admins rename the key in front of the card numbers or hide the numbers – old links and searches keep working. [Docs – Renaming the board key](https://contals.com/docs/en/settings/board/#card-numbers) ## Undo, archive and order - Video: a card is archived by mistake, and ⌘Z puts it back in its place. ### Undo and redo Ctrl+Z or ⌘Z takes back your last changes on a board step by step – moves, archivings, renames and more – and Ctrl+Shift+Z brings them back. [Docs – Undo and redo](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/undo/) - Video: the board’s archived items open in the sidebar; a search, and “Restore” puts the card back into its list. ### Archived items Archived lists and cards wait in a sidebar of the board – search them and restore them with one click. [Docs – Archived items](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/undo/#archived-cards-and-lists) - Video: a finished board is archived in its settings, shows up on the workspace’s archive page, and “Restore” brings it back. ### Board archive Finished boards go to the workspace’s archive – read-only and out of the way, searchable and restorable at any time. [Docs – Board archive](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/archive/) - Video: on a board, ? opens the list of keyboard shortcuts; F filters the cards and Escape clears the filter. ### Keyboard shortcuts Press ? for the list – / or ⌘K searches, F filters, the arrow keys go from card to card and F2 renames one. [Docs – Keyboard shortcuts](https://contals.com/docs/en/reference/keyboard-shortcuts/) ## Finding and overview - Video: the search finds the boards and cards with “plan” in every project. ### Search with / or ⌘K One keystroke opens a search across every board you can open – boards, cards and pages as you type. [Docs – Search with / or ⌘K](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/search/#quick-search-in-the-header) - Video: with “My cards” and “This week”, the board shows only what matters now. ### Board views as tabs All cards, My cards and This week are tabs on every board, and any filter can be saved as a tab for everyone or just for you. [Docs – Board views as tabs](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/filters/#saved-filters) - Video: in the workspace calendar, a due date moves to the next day with drag and drop, between the cards of the other projects. ### Workspace calendar Every due date, dated checklist item, booking and final poll date of a workspace in one calendar – drag a card to another day. [Docs – Workspace calendar](https://contals.com/docs/en/views/across-boards/#calendar) - Video: a status update “At risk” is published for the open day, and the current status turns yellow. ### Status updates Editors tell everyone how a board is doing – on track, at risk or off track – with a short text in the board header and on the dashboard. [Docs – Status updates](https://contals.com/docs/en/views/across-boards/#status-updates) - ### For you The home page starts with what is due for you today and in the next days, what waits for your answer and what changed on your boards – in sections you can hide and reorder. [Docs – For you](https://contals.com/docs/en/views/for-me/#the-sections) - ### Search with operators The search page looks through titles, descriptions, comments and field values, with operators such as #label, @me or due:overdue – umlauts optional. [Docs – Search with operators](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/search/#search-operators) 6 more features - ### My cards Everything assigned to you across all boards in one list – and apart from it the cards you created that nobody has taken yet. [Docs – My cards](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/search/#my-cards) - ### Board filter Show only the cards with a label, person, due date, field value, checklist item or status – or press F and type a title or number. [Docs – Board filter](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/filters/#filter-by-label-member-due-date-and-more) - ### Workspace dashboard Open, overdue and done cards, the status of every board and the open work per person across a workspace, on one page.

[Docs – Filters across boards](https://contals.com/docs/en/views/across-boards/#filters-across-boards) - ### Weekly status reminder When a board’s newest status update is older than a week, its admins get a reminder to post a new one.

[Docs – Inbox](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/inbox/#what-lands-in-your-inbox) - ### Push notifications Push notifications on phone and computer – on iPhone and iPad too, once Contals is on the Home Screen – with or without card names on the lock screen. [Docs – Push notifications](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/notifications/#push-notifications) - ### Your choice per kind For each kind of notification – assignments, mentions, due reminders, comments, status updates, polls and bookings – choose the app, push or e-mail. [Docs – Your choice per kind](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/notifications/#what-you-hear-about-and-where) - ### Quiet hours No push notifications and no e-mails in your quiet hours – e-mails wait until they end. [Docs – Quiet hours](https://contals.com/docs/en/finding/notifications/#quiet-hours) - ### Due reminders A reminder before a card is due – on the day, a day, two days or a week before, or at a set time – by your default or per card.

[Docs – Installable app](https://contals.com/docs/en/guides/install-app/#1-install-contals) ## Planning and templates - Video: the template gallery filtered by kind of team – schools, nonprofits, then teams and projects. ### Template gallery Ready-made boards for churches, schools, sports clubs, fire brigades, music schools, NGOs and teams – with lists, cards, checklists and due dates. [Docs – Template gallery](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/templates-copy-move/#start-a-board-from-a-template) - Video: on a template, the date of the event moves two months later – every due date of the preview counts back from it. ### Dates that count back Pick the date of your event, and every due date of the template counts back from it – two weeks before, the day before. [Docs – Dates that count back](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/templates-copy-move/#start-a-board-from-a-template) - ### Your own templates Save any board as a template of your workspace – lists, cards, checklists, labels, fields and dates included. [Docs – Your own templates](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/templates-copy-move/#save-your-own-board-as-a-template) - ### Community templates Start from templates other organizations share – reviewed by Contals and free to use under CC0.

[Docs – Power-Ups per board](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#turn-power-ups-on-or-off) - Video: a due date is set in the card’s details, and the card on the board shows it at once. ### Due dates Due dates on cards, with a time and a start if you like, shown as a date or a countdown and marked when overdue. [Docs – Due dates](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/labels-assignees-due-dates/#due-dates) - Video: in a board’s calendar, a card without a date is dragged onto a day of the week. ### Calendar The board’s cards by due date in a month and a week view – drag a card to another day, give undated cards a date, export as .ics. [Docs – Calendar](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#planning) - Video: the list “In progress” holds three cards – a fourth turns its counter and the list red. ### List limits A limit per list – the header counts the cards, and the list turns red when it holds too many. [Docs – List limits](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#planning) - Video: a card is snoozed until next week and leaves the list until then. ### Card snooze Snooze a card until a date – it comes back by itself, and a board page lists every snoozed card. [Docs – Card snooze](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#planning) - Video: the milestone plan is ticked off – the kick-off meeting that waited for it is no longer blocked. ### Dependencies A card waits for other cards – it shows “Blocked” until they are done, and its people hear when it can start.

[Docs – Voting](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#collaboration-and-reporting) - Video: the board’s read-me page gets one more line, edited right on the page. ### Read me A board page that explains the board – purpose, how it works, links – in simple Markdown, edited right on the page. [Docs – Read me](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#collaboration-and-reporting) - Video: a tracking number on a card – the carrier is recognised, with a link to track the parcel. ### Package tracker Tracking numbers on cards – Swiss Post, DHL, DPD, UPS, GLS, FedEx and more are detected, with a link to track the parcel. [Docs – Package tracker](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/#collaboration-and-reporting) - Video: weeks pass on a board, and the cards nobody touched fade to grey. ### Card aging Cards without activity fade over time – or yellow like old paper in pirate mode – so forgotten work stands out.

[Docs – Automation](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/automation/#automation) - Video: a Google document is attached to a card and shows with its icon and name. ### Links and cloud files Files and items from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, GitHub, Figma, YouTube and more on cards, shown with icon and name. [Docs – Links and cloud files](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/integrations/#links-and-cloud-files) - Video: a board is connected to the team’s Slack channel in a few fields – new, moved and finished cards are sent there. ### Chat notifications New cards, moves, finished cards, comments and cards due soon in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat or Discord. [Docs – Chat notifications](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/integrations/#chat-notifications) - Video: the organiser picks the best evening of the date poll – it becomes the card’s due date. ### Date poll Propose dates on a card, let people answer yes, if need be or no, and the chosen date becomes the due date.

[Docs – Booking page](https://contals.com/docs/en/power-ups/scheduling/#booking-page) ## Roles and sharing - Video: in the workspace’s settings, a member becomes an admin – workspace roles count for every board. ### Roles for everyone Owners, admins and members organize, volunteers and viewers join for free – and a role changes with one click in the workspace settings. [Docs – Roles for everyone](https://contals.com/docs/en/team/invitations/#workspace-roles) - Video: on a phone in the simple view, a volunteer opens a card of the volunteer day and taps “I’ll do it”. ### Volunteers take cards Volunteers and guests take an open card or checklist item themselves with “I’ll do it” – and can give it back.

[Docs – Invite links and QR codes](https://contals.com/docs/en/team/invite-links/) - ### Join code People without the link type a short code from the poster, such as K7M-4PQ2-XAB, on the join page. [Docs – Join code](https://contals.com/docs/en/team/invite-links/#join-with-a-code) - ### Public boards Publish a board as a read-only web page for everyone with the link – never comments, people or a confidential board. [Docs – Public boards](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/public-board/) ## AI - ### AI with your own model Connect your organization’s own AI provider – OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic or Google Gemini – and decide what may be sent; nothing goes out until an admin switches it on. [Docs – AI with your own model](https://contals.com/docs/en/ai/own-model/) - ### Assistant Ask about your boards or describe changes in plain words – the assistant makes them after your “Run”. [Docs – Assistant](https://contals.com/docs/en/ai/own-model/#4-use-it) - ### AI on cards Summarize a discussion, draft a description, turn a card into a checklist, suggest labels or translate – always as a preview first.

[Docs – REST API and API tokens](https://contals.com/docs/en/ai/api/#rest-api) - ### MCP server AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT work with your boards through the MCP server – with your token and your rights. [Docs – MCP server](https://contals.com/docs/en/ai/api/#mcp-server) - ### Set up by an AI agent An AI agent signs a person up and sets up workspaces, boards and invitations – after the person confirms and approves its access. [Docs – Set up by an AI agent](https://contals.com/docs/en/ai/agents/) - ### Webhooks, Zapier and Make Signed webhooks send what happens on your boards to your own server, Zapier or Make, with a delivery log. [Docs – Webhooks, Zapier and Make](https://contals.com/docs/en/integrations/webhooks/) - ### E-mail to a board Each board can have its own secret address – a member’s mail becomes a card, its subject the title. [Docs – E-mail to a board](https://contals.com/docs/en/boards/email-to-board/) ## Sign-in and security - ### Sign-in links and codes Sign in with a password, a one-time link or a 6-digit code for the installed app – and set a new password through a link if you forgot yours. [Docs – Sign-in links and codes](https://contals.com/docs/en/settings/sign-in/#ways-to-sign-in) - ### Google, Microsoft and more Sign in with Google, Microsoft or other providers – only with an address the provider has confirmed, also when joining a workspace.

[Docs – Two-factor sign-in](https://contals.com/docs/en/settings/two-factor/) - ### Passkeys Sign in with your fingerprint, your face or the PIN of your device instead of a password.
