Kanban board from your inbox

Send your email to a kanban board, one request at a time

An inbox sorts by when a message arrived. A kanban board sorts by what state the work is in. FindTheAsk bridges the two: each request it finds in your email becomes a card you can move from to-do to done.

Start free with Google

Free plan for one inbox. No credit card.

Cards that write themselves

A card starts with a title, a due date, and a priority taken from the email. You are editing a draft, not filling in a blank form.

Columns that match how you work

Rename, add, and reorder columns. Each connected inbox can have its own board, with a combined view across all of them.

Priority you can see

Five color-coded priority levels make the urgent cards stand out, and overdue and due-today counts sit above your tasks as one-tap filters.

Shared boards for teams

On the Team plan, share a board with viewer or editor access, assign cards to teammates, and keep private tasks private.

How it works

Connect Gmail or Outlook

Read-only access is all the board needs.
Accept suggested cards

Requests found in your email wait in Triage until you accept them onto the board.
Drag to done

Move cards between columns on the web, or update them from the iPhone, iPad, and Android apps.

Common questions

Can I create kanban cards from Gmail automatically?

Yes. FindTheAsk reads new Gmail messages, proposes a card for each request it finds, and adds it to your board when you accept it.

Does it work with Outlook as well as Gmail?

Yes. You can connect Gmail and Outlook inboxes, and each can have its own board.

Can my team share one board?

Yes, on the Team plan. Boards can be shared with viewer or editor roles and tasks can be assigned to teammates.
