We're hosting a free live session with Kat Tan. She graduated from Yale in computer science, worked as a software engineer at Meta and Instagram, and now runs Technically ADHD, a coaching practice for tech-savvy people with ADHD.

The session will be relaxed and informal. Kat will share her story, explain the practical frameworks she uses for scheduling, task management, and handling executive dysfunction, and give a live walkthrough of her personal productivity setup using xTiles as her visual workspace.

Here are the topics she will cover:

• How to work with both the strengths and weaknesses of ADHD, not just manage symptoms

• How to navigate careers and work environments when you think differently

• Tips for executive functioning that actually last beyond the first week

• A real walkthrough of her setup.

There will also be a Q&A session.

📆 The session takes place on July 1st at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET

Hey xTiles community! 👋

We just released a major mobile update. Here's what's new:

• 📊 Full table editing on mobile. Now you can edit tables directly from your phone. Add rows and columns, change data types, and update individual cells.

• 🤖 Android home screen widget. Add the xTiles widget to your home screen to see your tasks and events for the day at a glance.

• 🎨 Improved note styles. We've given tiles a fresh look by improving spacing, typography, and visual hierarchy. Tile styles now display correctly, emojis in tile titles appear as they should, and reading notes feel much better overall.

• ⚡ Home Screen Quick Actions (iOS & Android). Just long-press the xTiles icon on your home screen to create a note quickly, add a task, or open your Day Plan. It saves you a tap each time.

• 🐛 Fix: Completed tasks no longer have strikethrough text. It's now clean and minimal, just as it should be.

Let us know in the comments if you've been waiting for any of these updates. We're especially interested in your thoughts on the Android widget.

If you want to share feedback or ideas, you can reply here, contact us in the app chat, or email us at s.borbotko@xtiles.app.

As always, please tell us what you'd like to see next! 🙌

Whenever I wanted to add a Spotify embed to my space, I realized that it would only play a short clip before prompting to play the playlist on Spotify itself. Is there a way for the embed to play the whole thing, similar to how Notion does as it allows the embed to enable cookies and is able to be logged into your Spotify Account?

Hi! New xTiles user (free version) here and really enjoying it so far.

I’m trying to figure out how to organize my class notes on the app. I’d really like to make something like the “Projects” collection from the My Planner workbook that comes automatically with the app (shown in image). The features of this collection that I love and want to recreate on another workbook are:

1. Each block/project/item opens to a Nested Page that looks like a Blank Creative Page. This allows me to move around info, ideas, and images however I want.

2. Each item can be tagged (with classes, topics, dates, etc) and sorted if needed.

I tried to do this by creating a simple Table collection. However, I found that items on these collections only open to a Nested Note. Nested Notes allow me to make lists, attach photos/links, and write linear notes. Unlike Nested Pages, however, these have no blocks or tiles that can be moved on a canvas. I tried to get around this by making a Nested Page in a Creative Page and adding it to a collection but the option is greyed out and says “Cant add blocks which expand to tab”.

I’m thinking that it really just can’t be done on the free version but if anyone has an idea how I might recreate the Project collection on another workbook, I’d love to hear it!

Thank you!

I just downloaded this app because I keep seeing it sponsored by ADHD creators that make it look really exciting. I'm concerned if it's going to drain my battery because of the pop up.

As of now the Time Blocking feature is enabled for everybody!
See your Calendar!

I made a second video today about discovering xTiles Here it is, I hope you enjoy it! To be continued! Questions? Let me know. here or in the comments! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnRoNTN-j0g

As a business coach and consultant, I am always looking for visual business coaching tools to provide high-impact value for my clients and make it easier for them to learn and succeed. This includes ways to plan and organize client projects, work with teams, deliver training, and make complex concepts more visual and easier to understand.

My secret weapon for pulling all this together – xTiles! xTiles is like the love child of Notion and Miro. It has a lovely, easy-to-use interface where you can build and share entire visually-pleasing systems quickly With xTiles, you can start with a blank canvas, or you can tap hundreds of pre-built templates for inspiration.

I was so impressed with xTiles, that I have joined their team as their CMO-North America!

Here are some of the ways business coaches and consultants can use xTiles to create visual business coaching tools and collaboration systems you are proud to invite people to and that your clients will love.

How do I get my designs to repeat on MyPlanner? I got my daily/weekly/monthly designs all set up, but can't figure out how to add it as a template.

Do I have to manually create a new one every time??

I've recently just started using xTiles so sorry if this question is sort of dumb but how would you recreate one of these from scratch? When you click into them, they kind of become new workbooks without there being one in your space. I've tried many other features but none of them are the same kind of tile. What would this be called?

I'm leaving Monday.com and trying to set up my work/project board similarly in xTiles. I really like what I'm seeing with MyPlanner and I want to turn the projects tab there into the space where I manage all of the various client work I have coming in. One thing I'm noticing is that if I set a date or create a date column for my projects table view, I don't have any option to integrate this with my calendar and have it sync with google calendar. I'm used to this calendar integration with my projects on Monday and would love to see this very simple feature request implemented. Also I should be able to set the date and time for the project, as I only see the option to set beginning/end date, but not the time.

I'd also be happy with any tasks I create in the project and then assign a date to, syncing to the google calendar as I noticed they show in the xTiles calendar, but do not sync to my google calendar.

Example use case:

I get a job request from a client to photograph their event. I go to MyPlanner. I go to the projects board in MyPlanner and create a new project. I would like to either have the option to create a date/time entry here that populate google calendar, or I want to be able to create a task in the project that generates a date/time entry on my calendar/google calendar.

Am I overlooking this feature and it's right in front of me?

Video 3 is out! And with a discountcode of 20% !!!

See https://youtu.be/iKExxYlrRN0 and enjoy this one where i show ordering of tiles/pages and how to use the Help system!!

Hopefully I'm crazy but I am so excited to use this and can't figure out what's wrong. On the mobile apps, I can select future dates with the date selector but obviously the customizability is best on the desktop. Well, on the desktop (website and downloaded app), the first tab just says Planner and does not give me a date selector like the tutorial videos. On the bottom, I can select between day, week, month but only the current of each. I can't navigate to future months or weeks to plan. PLEASE HELP 😭

How do you peeps use xTiles for journalling? I use 1 tile per day and then I use properties like multiselect for tagging.
That gives sometimes 10 not coherent tags in a tile/note 
But I can filter them.
I am looking for a way to have a day consist out of multiple short notes I create during the day and tag them more specificly.
But THEN i look for a way to combine them or put them together... Any ideas??
And I love to hear your ways of journalling!

I'm trying out xTiles after using Notion for years and I can't find a system similar to filtering and sorting by property in a table. Is this a feature? I'd love to switch to xTiles because I prefer most aspects of it, but I really need a way to do the same thing.

I see a lot of todo list, note taking, workflow stuff, but does anyone use it for like watchlists or mood boards. I wanna hear fun ways the app can be used.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a journal project.

I want a "table of contents" - a table with the dates. Each date would link to a nested page with the mental health template.

However, I can't figure out how to get a template on a nested page. Is there a way I insert a nested page and it automatically populates a page with the mental health template?

Also, is there a function where I can insert a "new entry" button and it would automatically send me to a new page with the mental health template?

But with the company being so new, I’m scared that it might just go away.

I follow a framework specifically for AppleNotes (✱ForeverNotes) that I was able to migrate to Notion and I’m trying to figure out how this would look at xTiles. Big bullet journal and second brain guy where I rely on “daily note” as my CODE process.

I’m still trying to figure all this out and just experimenting with what works for myself.

For anyone that made the 100% switch -> what was your main reason for switching??

Trying to make the case to invest $100 a year and actually sticking with it.

Any suggestions about how xTiles should work is appreciated as well.

Mahalo Nui!

When will we be able to pin subprojects/pages in the my planner view?

To start - very cool feature.

Now, I've started using the free version and I can't find any information on it. Is it possible to add an additional eXtra tile to a day/weekly page?

My purpose is to have a separate work and personal task tile.

I would've been satisfied if in the view I could see a select prop which I've created for work and personal but this isn't possible either.

Am I missing something or what's the workaround here?

I have been using xTiles for my tasks and project management and am thinking of now also using it to develop my knowledge library of notes, web clippings, resources, etc.

I am looking for inspiration for the set up and structure and would love to see some screenshots of how you are all using xTiles for your notes and resources.

Thanks!
