One App, Many Dashboards: Multiple Boards in Baton Board
A single dashboard is great until your life has more than one mode. Your day job, your side project, your personal goals, a client engagement — each has its own tasks, its own numbers, its own rhythm. Cram them onto one board and it turns into noise. Baton Board solves this with multiple boards (profiles): separate dashboards you switch between in a click, all living locally on your device.
What a "board" is here
Each board is a complete, independent dashboard — its own widgets, its own layout, its own data. You might have:
- Work — tasks, a KPI graph for the metric your team cares about, a deadline agenda.
- Side project — a goal with a pace estimate, a habit tracker for shipping consistently, a countdown to launch.
- Personal — habits, a reading list of links, a calendar of personal due dates.
Switching boards swaps the whole context instantly. No mental overhead of filtering one giant board — you just move to the mode you're in.
Why separate boards beat one crowded board
- Focus. When you open "Work," you see only work. The side-project noise isn't there to distract you.
- Clean metrics. A KPI or goal means something different per context. Separate boards keep each one honest.
- Fast context switching. Going from your day job to your evening project is one click, not a reorganization.
- The same privacy everywhere. Every board is local-first — all of them live on your device, with no account and nothing on the company's servers.
Built for the way people actually work now
Most people aren't doing just one thing. They have a job and a project, or several clients, or a business and a personal life they're trying to keep in balance. Multiple boards map to that reality directly: one app, as many cockpits as you have modes — and you carry them all on your own device.
You can rename, reorder, duplicate, and delete boards, and move a widget from one board to another when something belongs somewhere else. Your data.json export contains all of them, so your whole multi-board setup is portable in a single file.
Free vs Pro
The free plan gives you one fully customizable board — a real, complete tool on its own. Multiple boards are a Pro feature, because that's where Baton Board goes from "a dashboard" to "your whole operation in one app." Pro also unlocks the analytics widgets, the AI assistant, sync, and the desktop app.
Frequently asked questions
How many boards can I have?
The free plan includes one board. Pro removes the limit, so you can keep as many separate boards (profiles) as you want — work, side projects, personal, and more.
Do all my boards stay on my device?
Yes. Every board is local-first — they all live in your browser storage or a local file, with no account and nothing on the company's servers.
Can I move a widget between boards?
Yes — you can move or duplicate a widget from one board to another when it belongs somewhere else.
Is my multi-board setup portable?
Yes — a single data.json export contains all of your boards, so you can move or back up your entire setup at once.
