All Templates

All templates live in one place: the dialog you use to create pages, boards, tables and projects. Open it with the + in the sidebar, via ⌘K (for example New page, or “new board Wedding autumn” with a name) or with Templates under Tools. At the top you choose the type (Page, Board, Table, Project), below that the name and the template. Templates are starting points: you can adapt everything after creating.

Every type starts with:

TemplateWhat happens
Blankcreates the item empty. Enter in the name field is enough.
With ØlavYou describe what you need and Ølav builds the start (not for projects). ⌘ Enter creates.

Below that, templates follow by category: My templates, Photography, Creative, Planning, Business and Personal. Use the filter at the top to show just one category.

Every table template brings matching column types, views and a few example rows. A notice above the table offers Clear examples. Column names are created in German for now; you can rename them.

Copy from table takes over the columns of an existing table, without its entries.


You create projects empty or from a setup: a whole situation (Road trip, Client job, Prepare a shoot, Multi-day assignment, Production with a team, Campaign, Pitch) or a whole workspace (Studio, Team and agency, Creator, Freelance, Life OS).

Any page, board or table can be saved as a template: for pages via the ”…” menu at the top right → Save as template, for boards under Canvas actions (··· at the top right) → Save as template, for tables via the table’s menu.
