Taskbuilder – Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board

Taskbuilder is a complete project and task management solution that helps teams organize projects, assign tasks, track progress, collaborate, and manage their workload — all from inside WordPress. Whether you’re managing a business, agency, organization, client projects, or a remote team, Taskbuilder gives you the tools to keep everyone organized and productive.

No external SaaS subscription required. Your projects and tasks stay inside your WordPress website.

The free plugin includes projects, tasks and subtasks, Kanban boards and task lists, My Tasks, a dashboard, checklists, comments with @mentions, file attachments, email notifications, custom statuses, priorities and categories, and frontend pages through shortcodes.

Premium add-ons (sold separately) add a calendar, Gantt charts, time tracking, reports, custom fields, recurring tasks, due date reminders, email piping, and BuddyPress, WooCommerce and SupportCandy integrations.
