Task Tree View: See the Full Map of Your Work
Collapsible task hierarchy. WBS-style structure. Switch to Kanban or Gantt in one click.
How it works
One task, multiple homes, multiple users
Every project has a shape. A good project manager can sketch the Work Breakdown Structure on a whiteboard in minutes: the high-level goals, the workstreams underneath, the tasks inside each workstream, the subtasks inside each task. The problem is that most task management tools don't show you that shape — they show you a flat list. Taskpend's task tree view gives you the full structural map of your project, with the power to collapse, zoom, and navigate it the way your brain naturally does.
The Work Breakdown Structure in Your Task Manager
The WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) is a project management classic — decompose a project into progressively smaller components until you reach individual work packages. In Taskpend, your task tree IS your WBS. Create it naturally by nesting tasks inside tasks, or use AI to generate the initial breakdown from a project description. The result is a navigable, collapsible WBS that updates in real-time.
Collapse for Executive View, Expand for Execution View
Collapse your entire task tree to the first level and you have your executive summary — the 5-8 top-level goals or workstreams. Expand one level and you see epics or phases. Expand all the way and you see individual next actions. The same task tree serves every audience: the CEO wants the collapsed view, the developer wants the expanded view. Both are one click away.
Navigate the Tree With Keyboard Shortcuts
Taskpend is built for keyboard-first navigation. Expand and collapse branches with arrow keys. Create child tasks with Tab, move them up and down with arrow shortcuts. Navigate between branches without touching the mouse. Power users build and navigate complex project trees at typing speed — the same flow state that makes Workflowy beloved.
Zoom In to Any Branch for Deep Work
When the full project tree is too large to work in, zoom into any branch and make it your entire view. The Design System branch becomes a focused workspace of 20 tasks — no other tasks visible. Zoom back out when you're done. This is the outliner equivalent of closing all your browser tabs except one.
Switch to Kanban or Gantt Without Rebuilding
The task tree is the foundation; the other views are different lenses on the same data. Switch your Design branch to Kanban to track design review status. Switch your Q3 Roadmap to Gantt to see timeline dependencies. Your hierarchy is preserved in every view — switching views never means rebuilding your task structure from scratch.
