Streamline teamwork with visual Kanban boards, automation, and mobile-first workflow.
What is Trello?
Visual Project Management with Kanban Boards
Trello is Atlassian's iconic visual project management tool built around the Kanban methodology. Cards, lists, and boards form the core of the experience, giving teams an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to organize any type of work — from software sprints to editorial calendars to personal to-do lists.
Power-Ups and Automation
Trello's flexibility comes from its extensive library of Power-Ups (integrations) and its built-in automation engine called Butler. Butler allows users to create rules, buttons, and scheduled commands that trigger actions automatically — moving cards, sending notifications, or updating fields — without any coding.
- Unlimited cards and boards on the free plan
- Butler automation for no-code workflow rules
- Power-Ups for 200+ app integrations
- Multiple views: board, list, table, calendar, timeline
- Mobile-first design with excellent iOS and Android apps
