TasksPipes documentation

Task pipes for teams that live in Outline — how to use them, connect them and host them.

TasksPipes is an open-source, self-hosted task manager built around Outline. It gives your workspace kanban pipes with typed tasks, incoming buckets to hand work to people and teams, and a calm next action for everyone.

The main ideas

Concept What it is
Space Where pipes and tasks live: everyone has a personal space, and teams have team spaces.
Pipe A kanban board with a purpose (sales, course design, software…). Its type sets its columns and task types.
Task A card in a pipe. Its type gives it fields; it has an owner, a due date, sub-tasks, comments and a full history.
Incoming The inbox of a person or a team: tasks sent by others wait there to be accepted or refused.
Next action A Getting Things Done view: finish what is in progress, then start what matters most.

TasksPipes works best with Outline, but does not need it: people can also sign in with e-mail links or with your company's single sign-on.
