Break complex tasks into subtasks
Add subtasks to any task to break work into actionable steps, track progress with the X/Y counter, and keep each subtask independent with its own status and priority.
Who it’s for
Project managers and teams working on multi-step complex tasks who lose sight of real progress.
The problem
A vague task like “Create the campaign visuals” can hide 6 sub-steps. Without breakdown, nobody knows where things stand — and the card stays stuck at “In progress” for days.
What you gain
Granularity without complexity
Each subtask is independent of the parent task for status and priority.
Visible progress
The X/Y counter shows directly on the board card — no need to open the task.
Fast generation
Nudgy breaks down a complex task into actionable subtasks in one request.
Open a task
Board, list, or Cmd+K → task detail.
Add subtasks
Subtasks → title → Add — or ask Nudgy to generate them.
Assign status and priority
Each subtask: custom status + low/normal/high priority.
Track progress
X/Y done counter → visible on the board card in real time.
Manage the list
Done / To do in one click → +N more for long lists.
