🔧 The Notion Problem

Notion is genuinely impressive. But that's also its biggest problem:

✗You have to build your own system from scratch
✗No time tracking - need a third-party tool
✗Gets slow as your workspace grows
✗Templates need customising, breaking needs debugging
✗Everyone's setup looks different - no consistency

😁 The Task Board Solution

Boards that work. Timers that track. Nothing to build:

✓Real kanban boards - not a database view
✓Built-in time tracking - one click, reports automatically
✓Works in minutes, not weeks
✓Free guest access - clients don't need to learn Notion
✓AI integrations with Claude and ChatGPT

A Board That Works Out of the Box

A tool, not a platform for building tools

Notion is brilliant if you want to build your own project management system.

Task Board is for teams who'd rather just use one.

Kanban boards. Time tracking. Nothing to configure. Nothing to maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about switching from Notion to Task Board

Can Notion do everything Task Board does?

In theory, yes - you can build a kanban board in Notion using database views. In practice, it takes significant setup and maintenance, and you still won't have built-in time tracking. Notion is a platform; Task Board is a product. One you build, one you use.

Is Notion's kanban view as good as a dedicated kanban tool?

It works, but it's a view on a database, not a board-first tool. Moving cards between columns updates database properties behind the scenes. It's powerful but adds complexity. If kanban boards are your primary workflow, a dedicated tool is smoother.

What about Notion AI?

Notion AI (£8/user/month extra) adds AI writing and search within Notion. Task Board integrates with Claude and ChatGPT directly - you can create tasks, move cards, and get updates through conversation. Different approach: Notion adds AI to docs, Task Board adds AI to task management.

Can I use both?

Absolutely. Many teams use Notion for documentation and wikis, and Task Board for day-to-day task management and time tracking. They solve different problems.

Can I migrate from Notion to Task Board?

Task Board has a REST API, so you can import tasks programmatically. Notion's database exports give you CSV files that can be transformed into Task Board tasks. Contact support for help with migration.

Which is easier for new team members?

Task Board. There's nothing to learn. It's a board with cards. Notion requires understanding databases, views, properties, and relations before someone can work effectively. The onboarding difference is days vs minutes.
