description

Priorities for Basecamp adds the missing priority feature to Basecamp 3. Organize your tasks by importance and never lose track of what matters most.

PRIORITIES TAB
• New "Priorities" tab on your assignments page
• View all tasks organized by High, Medium, Low priority
• Drag & drop tasks between priority sections
• Tasks grouped by project and list
• Complete tasks directly from the view

PRIORITY LABELS
• Color-coded priority badges on all todos and cards
• Red = High, Yellow = Medium, Blue = Low
• Labels appear throughout Basecamp automatically

PRIORITY SELECTOR
• Set priority when creating new todos or cards
• Change priority when editing existing items
• Quick priority buttons on todo detail pages

PRIORITY FILTER
• Filter any todo list or kanban board by priority
• See only the priority level you need
• Counter shows matching items

PRIORITY PROGRESS
• See priority breakdown in todo list headers
• Quick overview of High/Med/Low counts

HOW IT WORKS
Priorities are stored in Basecamp's description field, so they sync across all your devices automatically. No external accounts or servers required.

PRIVACY
• Only runs on 3.basecamp.com
• No data collection
• No external servers
• Settings stored locally

Perfect for teams and individuals who need more control over task prioritization in Basecamp.

Priorities for Basecamp 5 adds the priority management feature that's missing from Basecamp — High, Medium, and Low priorities for every to-do and card, working consistently across every list, board, and project you have.

WHY YOU'LL WANT IT

Basecamp is great at lists. It's not great at importance. You can mark a single item as "Move up" — that's it. Anything beyond that lives in your head or in a side document.

This extension changes that. One click sets High, Medium, or Low priority on any to-do or kanban card. Color-coded labels appear automatically across the whole app. Filters let you focus on what matters. A new "by priority" view rolls up every assignment you have across every project, grouped by importance, with drag-and-drop to re-prioritize.

It's the focus layer Basecamp doesn't have — without leaving Basecamp.

WHAT IT DOES

🏷 Priority labels everywhere
HIGH / MED / LOW / NONE badges appear automatically on every to-do and Card Table card the moment you set a priority. No extra clicks, no separate UI to check.

✅ One-click priority selector
Set a priority while creating a new to-do, while editing one, or with a single click on the detail page. Works in to-do forms, card forms, and the inline expand-to-add-a-to-do flow.

🔍 Filter by priority
On any to-do list, todoset, or Card Table, narrow down to just one priority level. A counter shows how many items match.

👤 Filter by assignee
Right next to the priority filter, a dropdown lets you focus on Everyone, Unassigned, or a specific teammate. Combine it with the priority filter for laser-focused views.

📋 "My assignments by priority"
A new tab next to "My assignments / with dates / Stuff I've assigned" that regroups your entire backlog by priority — High, Medium, Low, and No priority — sub-grouped by project and list. Drag an item between sections to re-prioritize it instantly.

↕ Sort by priority
On any list, sort to-dos by date-then-priority or priority-then-date. Your preference syncs across your devices via Chrome storage.

📊 Priority progress
Every to-do list shows a quick "High: x/y | Med: a/b | Low: c/d" breakdown next to Basecamp's completion count.

⚡ Instant on second visit
Priorities are cached locally so labels appear immediately on subsequent visits. A background refresh keeps everything in sync — changes by teammates show up within a couple of seconds.

HOW IT WORKS — STORED IN BASECAMP, NOT SOMEWHERE ELSE

Priorities are stored inside each to-do's description field using a small tag (e.g. [PRIORITY: High]) at the top. Because the data lives in Basecamp itself:

- It syncs across every device and every browser automatically.
- Your teammates see the same priorities you set, even if they don't install the extension.
- Nothing is stored on external servers. No accounts. No subscriptions.

PRIVACY

- Runs only on app.basecamp.com.
- Does NOT collect or transmit any personal data.
- Uses your existing Basecamp session — no extra logins, no API keys, no third-party requests.
- Open source. MIT licensed.

WHO SHOULD INSTALL IT

- Anyone who maintains long Basecamp to-do lists and needs to focus on what's actually important.
- Teams who want a shared notion of priority without leaving Basecamp.
- Solo users who treat Basecamp like their personal kanban and want better triage.
- Anyone who used the legacy "Priorities for Basecamp 3" extension — this is its successor for the new Basecamp at app.basecamp.com.

GETTING STARTED

1. Install the extension.
2. Open any Basecamp to-do or card.
3. Click the new "Priority" row — pick High, Med, Low, or None.
4. Watch the colored labels appear across every list, board, and assignment view.

That's it. No configuration screens. No accounts to set up.
