Working with Cards
Cards are the atomic unit of work in Gryphin. They carry everything about a task — context, owners, deadlines, files, and conversation — in one place.
Overview
Every task you track lives on a card. Cards can be lightweight (just a title) or rich (labels, owners, due dates, checklists, attachments, comments) — same component, scales with how much detail you need.

Anatomy of a card
Every card surfaces the most important info on the board so you don't need to open it:

- Cover — optional color/image bar at the top
- Labels — colored pills for type, priority, or area
- Title — the one-line summary of the task
- Due date — highlighted red when overdue
- Checklist progress — shows N of total complete
- Assignees — avatar stack of everyone responsible
Quick actions
You rarely need the detail view. Most actions happen inline:
Quick add
Press N anywhere on a board to add a card to the focused column.
Inline rename
Click a card title once to edit it in place — no modal needed.
Drag to reorder
Drag up/down within a column to reprioritize, or across columns to change status.
Multi-select
Hold Shift while clicking cards to select many at once, then drag them as a group.
Right-click menu
Right-click any card for archive, duplicate, copy link, and move to board.
The detail view
Click any card to open it full-screen. Every field is accessible here, plus the activity log and comments thread.
Title & description
Rich text with markdown shortcuts, mentions, code blocks, and embedded media.
Assignees
Up to 10 people per card. Everyone assigned gets notified of changes.
Labels
Tag with multiple labels for cross-cutting concerns like type and priority.
Due dates
Set start and due dates. Reminders fire 1 day before and on the due date.
Checklists
Break work into subtasks. Each item can have its own assignee and due date.
Attachments
Drag-and-drop files, link to Drive/Figma/Notion, or paste images directly.
Comments
Threaded conversations with @-mentions, reactions, and file attachments.
Activity log
Every change is recorded — who, what, and when — with one-click revert.
Card templates
If you create the same kind of card over and over — bug reports, weekly check-ins, onboarding tasks — save it as a template and clone it with one click.
Creating a template
Power tip: duplicate, don't recreate
Almost every action on a card has a keyboard shortcut. Learning five of them will save you hours every week.
