How to create a Family Space/Workspace

Start managing your projects and team with Any.do

Updated over 2 months ago

Spaces in Any.do are designed to enhance your productivity by offering a flexible way to manage tasks and collaborate with others. Every user starts with a Personal Space, a private area where you can organize your personal lists and personal tasks (todos) just the way you like.

If you're looking to collaborate or manage more complex projects, upgrading to our Teams or Family plans allows you to add more Spaces to your account. Family users will automatically have a Family Space created upon upgrading or starting a trial, perfect for sharing tasks with loved ones. Teams members will have a Workspace added to their account for seamless collaboration with their colleagues/clients or just themselves (for freelancers/project managers etc).

In each Space, you can invite others to join and work together on various boards. The creator of the Space becomes the admin by default, with the ability to add members, manage permission levels, and assign admin rights to others from the Space management screen.

  1. Open the settings menu by clicking the profile icon on the top left corner next to your name.

  2. Under "Spaces" press "Create a new space".
