Build the Exact Dashboard You Want
Most tools hand you a fixed layout and ask you to live in it. You bend your workflow around their idea of a "project" or a "page." Baton Board flips that: you start with an empty board and build the cockpit you actually want.
Drop in the widgets you need, drag them where they belong, resize them, color them, and arrange a layout that matches how your head works. The board adapts to you — not the other way around.
Eleven widgets, one board
Every feature in Baton Board is a widget, and you mix and match them freely:
- Tasks — subtasks, priorities, due dates and times, colors, progress bars, recurring tasks, tags with autocomplete, drag-to-reorder, and drag between task widgets.
- KPI — a number with a history graph, period zoom (7/30/all), and a goal line you can overlay.
- Notes — Markdown, rendered.
- Goal — targets with progress, deadlines, and a pace estimate ("how many per day to finish on time").
- Agenda — every upcoming deadline in one ordered list.
- Calendar — month, week, or list view; click a day to add a dated task.
- Habit tracker — daily grid, streaks, weekly/monthly view, completion rate, and per-habit targets.
- Timer — a Pomodoro-style focus timer.
- Countdown — days until a date that matters.
- Links — a tidy set of shortcuts, reorderable.
- Activity log — a timeline of who added what, human or AI.
Put two KPIs side by side, stack a habit grid next to a calendar, keep a Pomodoro timer in the corner. The composition is yours.
Total control over the layout
- Drag and resize every widget into place; the board remembers your arrangement.
- Show, hide, collapse, or focus (full-screen) any widget.
- Rename any widget title to whatever makes sense to you.
- Adjust columns and row height to make the grid as dense or as roomy as you like.
- Lock the board when you've got it just right, so you don't nudge things by accident.
- Light, dark, or follow your OS — plus an accent color of your choosing.
- Export the whole board as a PNG when you want to share a snapshot.
Separate profiles for separate worlds
Keep distinct boards — profiles — and switch between them in one click: one for work, one for a side project, one for study, one for home. Rename them, reorder them, duplicate them, and move widgets between them. Each profile is its own self-contained cockpit, so contexts never blur together.
Start fast, then make it yours
Customization shouldn't mean starting from a blank, intimidating screen. So Baton Board meets you in the middle:
- Pick your line of work on first run, and a ready-to-use board for that field appears instantly — then you reshape it.
- Industry templates give you bespoke starting layouts (a freelancer board, an e-commerce board, a creator board, and more), each arranged for that kind of work.
- Single-widget presets drop in a pre-configured widget — a Pomodoro timer, an MRR tracker, a weekly-review checklist — in one click.
You're never staring at an empty grid wondering where to begin, and you're never stuck with someone else's idea of the "right" layout.
Built to be lived in
Customization is only useful if the basics are solid, so they're not gated behind a wall:
- Board-wide search and a command palette (Ctrl/⌘+K) jump you to anything — across tasks, notes, links, goals, KPIs, and habits.
- Undo/redo for layout and content changes.
- Automatic backups and point-in-time restore, so experimenting with your layout is always reversible.
- Eight languages, with dates and numbers formatted for your locale.
- Responsive, so your board holds up from a wide monitor to a phone.
Frequently asked questions
Can I arrange the dashboard however I want?
Yes. Start from an empty board, add any of the eleven widgets, then drag, resize, recolor, rename, show/hide, collapse, and focus them freely. The board saves your arrangement.
Can I keep different dashboards for different projects?
Yes. Profiles are separate boards you switch between in one click — rename, reorder, duplicate, and move widgets between them.
Do I have to build everything from scratch?
No. Pick your line of work on first run for an instant ready-to-use board, use an industry template, or drop in single-widget presets — then customize from there.
Can I change the theme and colors?
Yes. Light, dark, or follow your OS, plus an accent color, per-widget colors, and adjustable columns and row height.
Is search and backup included for free?
Yes. Board-wide search, the command palette, data export/import, automatic backups, and all eight languages are part of the free core — they're not behind the Pro wall.
