Getting started
Ten minutes from nothing to a working shared list.
Sign in
Go to app.wodo.co and sign in with Google or Microsoft. There is no password to invent — Wodo never stores one. If your company later connects its own identity provider, you'll sign in through that instead; if you're invited as an outside collaborator without either, you can use a passkey. More on that in Sharing your work.
Join — or start — an organization
Most people arrive by invitation: a colleague invited you to an organization or to a specific space, you clicked the link in the email, signed in, accepted — and the work is already there. If that's you, skip ahead to Add items.
Starting fresh instead? Then you create the organization — the container for your team — and its first space: the place where one stream of work lives. A project, a team, a client engagement; whatever unit makes sense to you.
When creating a space you make two choices you can mostly wave through for now:
- A template. Templates pre-fill a space with labels and structure. Pick the simplest one; everything it sets up can be changed later. See Templates for how organizations build their own.
- A storage region. This decides where the space's content is physically stored — EU, Canada, more as they come. See Your data and your privacy.
Add items
An item is one piece of work. Press N (or click) and type a title. Press enter, type the next one. Five items take thirty seconds.
Your items appear as cards on a board with columns like TODO, Doing, and Done. One thing worth knowing immediately: those column names are not built into Wodo. They're values of a label the template created, and you can rename them — or replace them entirely — at any time. That's the next page.
Move work along
Drag a card from TODO to Doing when you start it, and to Done when it's finished. Click any card to open it: add a longer description, a due date, a person responsible.
If someone else is in the space, you'll see their changes appear as they make them. No refresh, no save button.
That's it
A shared list where everyone sees the same live state — that's a complete way to use Wodo. If that's all you need, you're done; the rest of this manual will wait. When you're curious what the cards themselves can do, read on.
