Less project software. More visible work.

A Free, Lightweight Task Management App for Small Teams

Turnboards is a currently free shared task board for small businesses, crews, contractors, shops, maintenance teams, and people who need to organize real work without configuring a full project-management platform.

Create boards, capture tasks quickly, assign work, add notes and due dates, and move each item through Backlog, Active, and Complete. Changes can be made during a poor connection and synchronized after the app reconnects.

Currently free to tryiPhone, iPad, and Android

Turnboards is right for…

A small team that wants the work visible now

Fast task capture on a phone or tablet
Shared boards with clear assignments
Notes and due dates attached to the work
Backlog, Active, and Complete without custom setup
Local changes queued during temporary connection loss

Choose a larger platform when…

The workflow needs more than a shared task board

Automation, integrations, or configurable forms run the process
Managers need dashboards, portfolios, workload, or resource planning
Documents, chat, wikis, or databases must live beside tasks
Enterprise permissions, governance, or compliance controls are required
Timeline, Gantt, dependency, or sprint planning is essential

Start with one real board

Replace the scattered list before replacing a whole platform

Create a board for one job, crew, property, customer, or project. Add only the next useful actions, assign the people doing them, and move each task as the work changes.

Create an organization for the team.
Add a board for one current stream of work.
Add three to ten concrete work items.
Invite teammates and assign the first Active tasks.
Keep larger software only where its advanced features are still needed.

Example work items

Landscaping crew — load replacement trimmer line
Maintenance team — inspect the north stairwell
Contractor — repair the gate hinge
Shop team — order steel for the next fabrication job

Turnboards is intentionally not a full project-management suite

Turnboards does not currently advertise advanced automation, reporting, integrations, portfolios, resource planning, compliance workflows, time tracking, Gantt planning, or enterprise administration. It is a focused shared work list for small teams.
