Trello

Trello is a project management app that organises work on boards made of lists and cards. Fog Creek Software launched it in New York in 2011. Atlassian, the Australian maker of Jira, bought it in 2017.

Each card is a task that can hold a description, checklists, due dates, labels, attachments and comments. Cards move between lists such as To Do, Doing and Done, following the kanban method. Teams can add members to cards, and boards can be viewed as a calendar, timeline or table on paid plans. Butler, the built in automation tool, runs rules such as moving a card when a checklist is complete. Power-Ups connect Trello to Slack, Google Drive, Jira and other tools.

Trello has a free plan for individuals and small teams with limits on automation and some features. Paid plans add unlimited boards, more views, admin controls and security features. Trello runs on the web, iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. It is used by small businesses, students and teams in larger companies to plan content, track tasks and manage personal to do lists.
