Bases Power Pack

Run real Kanban, Calendar, and Gantt boards that write straight back to your notes — no Dataview, no cloud, no account.

Most Bases boards only display your notes. Bases Power Pack writes the changes back: drag a card, reschedule a date, resize a timeline bar — the note's frontmatter updates. Offline, in Markdown, with real planning views on top.

Premium: turn your vault into a lightweight project system

Turn your vault into a lightweight project system — without leaving Markdown. You already keep the work in notes; Premium gives you the boards, timelines, and dashboards to actually run it. The views below are the proof:

• Calendar & Gantt — schedule and plan on a real timeline; drag events to reschedule, drag bars to move or resize work against milestones. Every change writes back to the note.
• Dashboard & Analytics — KPI cards, distribution charts, throughput, workload, and aging work — the management questions answered without exporting your vault into some other analytics tool.
• Formulas, roll-ups & saved filters — compute across your notes and save the views you reopen every day.
• Automation — Move Rules, rule-based color coding, and .base-driven workflows so the board maintains itself.
• Pivot, Gallery & Feed — cross-tabulate like a spreadsheet, browse as a visual grid, or read a reverse-chronological stream.

Gantt turns your notes into a real timeline: drag bars to move work, resize them to change duration, and plan against milestones.

Dashboard gives you KPI cards and visual distribution without exporting your vault into some other analytics toy.

Analytics makes the board answer the obvious management questions: throughput, workload, bottlenecks, and what is aging badly.

Move work cleanly from Review to Done without opening a note or babysitting frontmatter.
