Lists are now Spaces, and a space can hold more than one section

Custom lists are now called spaces. Every list you had carries over automatically, with the same filters, the same order, and the same look, just under a new name and with room to grow. This update also lets a space hold more than one section: stack a task query and a calendar view in the same tab instead of switching between a list and the calendar.

What carried over

Nothing about your existing lists changed on disk or on screen. Each one migrated into a space with a single, unnamed section holding exactly the filters, sort order, and grouping it already had. If you never open the space editor again, you won't notice anything different beyond the word "Space" in a few labels: the Organize tab, the editor title, the paywall, and so on. A one-time sheet explains the rename the first time you open the app after this update; dismiss it and it won't come back.

Multiple sections in one space

Open a space in the editor and you'll find a Sections area below the space's name. A brand-new space starts with one blank task section. Tap Add Section to stack another one underneath it, either another task query or an events section pulling from your calendar.

Each section is independent:

• Its own filters, sort order, and grouping (including Kanban; a kanban section can now sit alongside others, see below).
• Its own name, or leave it blank for an unlabeled section.
• Reorder sections by dragging their handle.

Tap into a section's row in the editor to open its own editor screen. Every filter change previews live against your real tasks or events as you type, no need to save first and check the result afterward.

Every section is a preview, capped and collapsible

Once a space has two or more sections, each one renders as a preview: a header with the section's name and a count, and a handful of rows underneath (the cap is tuned per kind, tasks, events, or notes, and isn't something you configure). A grouped section's preview still shows its group headers over those rows instead of flattening them into one plain list, and a kanban section's preview shows its columns the same way, so a glance at the stack looks like a small version of the real thing rather than a generic list.

Tap anywhere on a section's header (the name, the count, the background) to collapse or expand just that section. Long-press a header (or right-click on a Mac) to collapse or expand every section in the space at once. Your choices are remembered per device.

Entering a section

Once a space has more than one section, a small ⤢ icon sits at the right edge of every section's header. Tap it and that section opens on its own, full-screen, in its native form: a flat or grouped list, or a full kanban board. Dragging to reorder, multi-select, and bulk actions all work there. The preview back in the stack deliberately keeps things simple: tap a row to open it, tap a checkbox to complete it, nothing else.

Kanban sections can have siblings now

A kanban section used to be the one thing a space could only hold alone. Not anymore: add other sections next to a kanban one and the board keeps working. When a kanban section sits in a multi-section stack, it doesn't wait for a tap on ⤢: the actual board renders right there in the stack, sized to fit its columns, fully interactive: tap a card to open it, drag it between columns, scroll the columns sideways. The ⤢ icon is still there if you'd rather see it full-screen.

Dragging between sections

Drag a task from one section into another and TaskForge writes whatever property values make the task match the section you dropped it in (tag, context, project, status, priority, or a specific date). If the target section's filters can't be satisfied by a plain field edit (a negated condition, a relative date, "contains" a word), the drop is rejected and TaskForge tells you which rule is blocking it, instead of silently doing nothing.

The seeded Today space

New installs' default Today space now ships with two sections out of the box: your overdue-and-due-today tasks, plus a Schedule section showing today's calendar events. It's there to show what a mixed space looks like without you having to build one. No calendar connected yet? The section still renders, with a prompt to connect one.

Platform notes

Identical on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac. Sections stack vertically everywhere, including on wide screens; there's no side-by-side board layout for mixed sections. On a Mac or iPad, hovering a section header shows a quiet highlight and the ⤢ icon picks up your accent color; both the header and the icon are keyboard-reachable, so Tab and Enter collapse a section or enter it without touching the trackpad. The section editor's live preview, drag handles, and hover states follow the same desktop conventions as the rest of the app: typable fields instead of wheels, hover highlights on interactive rows, and Escape to back out of the editor.

Premium

Free users get the default spaces. Collapsing sections and using their quick filter chips are free. Creating or editing custom spaces requires Premium, including changing filters, adding or naming sections, and reordering spaces or sections. A space with only one section follows the same editing rules.

To see events, turn on calendar access in Settings and grant permission. Viewing events is free. Creating, editing and deleting calendar events require Premium.

If Premium expires, TaskForge shows the free default spaces. It keeps your stored custom spaces so they are available when Premium is restored.
