Tapestry
Tapestry is a task manager built for solving real problems.
When you have a lot going on, your todo list starts looking like this:
But that’s not useful! Only one of those tasks is actually doable today.
A task can block other tasks, and Tapestry uses that to work out what you could actually start today.
In the example above, you can see that “Buy paint” is ready to be done, while the other two tasks are blocked by it. Once you complete “Buy paint”, the next task will become ready, and so on. With Tapestry, you can filter by just the doable tasks.
Ready and blocked
Every task is in one of two states:
Ready
A task is ready when nothing it depends on is still open. It gets a hollow circle and it appears in your Now view. The first three “Now” tasks are also shown on your dashboard.
Blocked
A task is blocked when it has prerequisites or has been snoozed:
Everyday usage
Use Tapestry like a todo list! Don’t freak out!
But if you’re looking for a more structured approach, try reading our Getting Started guide.
Reading a row
This is what a row contains:
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| « 3 | Three tasks come before this one. Click it to see them. |
| » 2 | This task is holding up two others. Click it to see them. |
| Yellow date chip | This task has been snoozed until the date shown. |
| Red date chip | This task’s due date. |
| A pale red backing | A later task in this chain has a due date. |
That red tint is a valuable signal. It means that if you don’t do this task, something else will be late. You can click through to see which task is at risk.
