Your first task in 60 seconds
A first-time-user walkthrough: pick a template, add a task, drag it to Done. No jargon.
Your first task in 60 seconds
If you've never used a task board before, don't worry. wrrk Tasks is built so you can be productive in under a minute. Here's how.
What a task is
A task is a single piece of work, "Call Acme back about pricing", "Review Q3 deck", "Fix the broken signup link". Tasks live on a board. A board is a column layout (To Do → Doing → Done). You move tasks across columns as you make progress.
Step 1, Open Tasks
Click Tasks in the left sidebar (it looks like a checklist). The first time you open it, you'll see this:

Step 2, Pick a template
Don't think about it too much. If you're not sure, pick General: three columns, no fuss. You can always change it later.

| Template | Use it when… |
|---|---|
| General | Personal to-dos, mixed work |
| Sprint Board | A team working in 1–2 week cycles |
| Support Tickets | Tracking customer issues end-to-end |
| Sales Pipeline | Following deals from lead to close |
Step 3, Add your first task
Click + Add Task at the top of any column. Type a title. Hit Enter. You're done.

Step 4, Move it as you work
Drag a task from "To Do" to "Doing" when you start. Drag it to "Done" when you finish. That's the entire mental model.
What if I made the wrong board?
Click the board name at the top → Settings → Delete board. Or just create another one, there's no limit.
