Overview Presentation
Drag is an application that turns Gmail into an organized Kanban board. It works on Chrome and Opera browsers, with support for other browsers coming soon. The mailbox application promotes productivity by allowing users to manage their tasks directly from their inbox. They can use it in as many email addresses they want simply by enabling or disabling it inside Gmail.
Features, Benefits, Strengths
Gmail Inbox to Kanban Boards – Drag transforms Gmail into a Kanban board with a more visual layout. Instead of going over and working through lists, users are able to organize, categorize and prioritize emails into cards and columns with simple drag and drop. Now, people have greater control of what they want to work on, without the risk of misplacing, forgetting or burying important information or messages down at the bottom of the email list.
Simple and Efficient Task Management – The productivity add-on not only transforms the mailbox layout but also enables the user a better way to manage work. Since the majority of emails are tasks, they can immediately turn messages into action items by organizing them into their proper workflow columns. Instead of forwarding or exporting emails into other task or project management apps, they can readily work on their tasks without switching apps, and then continue to work on their inbox for other communication activities.
Additional Details, Customization, and more – Drag also includes features that provide additional information needed for task management. For example, users can add checklists to further divide tasks into subtasks. They can also add notes for more information and due dates to help prioritize and finish things within their alloted time. Moreover, users can create multiple custom boards to help them organize their emails and manage them as they relate to project, sales, helpdesk, and more. A collaborative team board that can be shared is a feature that will be available soon.
Pricing
Drag offers a freemium pricing model. A limited Free plan includes for the ability to build 1 Drag board and 3 columns. The Pro plan at $3 per user/month billed yearly (or $5 per user monthly) includes for unlimited boards and columns, add tasks to inbox, add checklists, notes, due dates, and more.
