10+ Free Assignment & Project Tracker Templates for 2026

Deadlines shouldn't be scary. Whether you are a student juggling 5 courses or a project manager overseeing a product launch, the difference between "overwhelmed" and "under control" is a solid tracking system.

The AFFiNE Assignment Tracker Collection offers robust, customizable templates designed to bring clarity to your workload. Stop relying on memory or messy sticky notes. Use our Table Views, Kanban Boards, and Edgeless Mode to visualize your success.

Why Use a Digital Assignment Tracker?

Static paper planners can't adapt when deadlines change. An AFFiNE tracker is dynamic, evolving with your schedule.

• Centralized Command Center: View all your essays, coding projects, and reading lists in one database.

• Visual Progress: Switch from a list view to a Kanban board to drag tasks from "To Do" to "Done."

• Contextual Planning: Don't just list the task; link it. Click an assignment to open a dedicated page where you can draft your work, attach files, and brainstorm ideas on a whiteboard—all without leaving the tab.
