Tasks & the Kanban board

Family Harbor turns household work into a shared Kanban board. The rule of the harbor: every task has an owner — nothing floats around unclaimed.

The board

Tasks move through simple columns — from To do, through In progress, to Done. Everyone sees the same board.

• Owner — the crew member responsible for moving the task to Done.
• Status — where the task is right now.
• Details — notes, due date and links to calendar events when relevant.

Creating a task

1. Tap + on the board.
2. Write the task — "Take out the recycling".
3. Assign an owner and, if useful, a due date.
4. Move it across the board as work happens.

Filtering by owner

Use the owner filter so each family member sees exactly their missions. Great for the morning dash: open your filter, see your day.

Recurring chores

Weekly chores work best as repeating tasks — take out the trash, water the plants, restock the pantry. When one round completes, the next appears automatically. No streaks, no guilt — see Wellness & playful progress for the philosophy.

Tasks and the harbor

Completing tasks earns the family XP and coins and fills the boat with cargo — real care becomes visible progress. Read more in Wellness trackers.

Pair tasks with the shared calendar for deadlines and with the shopping list when a task needs supplies.
