Trello is a visual project management app, now owned by Atlassian, that organizes work as boards made up of lists and drag-and-drop cards — a digital take on the kanban board. It is used by everyone from software teams tracking sprints to individuals planning personal projects, with a generous free tier and paid plans that add automation, more Power-Ups, and admin controls for larger teams.
Why Trello's Kanban Board Became a Default for Visual Task Tracking
Trello popularized the kanban-style board for everyday task tracking well beyond software teams, largely because dragging a card from one list to another is instantly understandable without training. Its Butler automation lets you set up simple rules — like automatically moving a card or notifying someone when a due date passes — without needing to be a workflow expert, which keeps boards useful as they grow beyond a simple to-do list.

How to download Trello safely
Use the request button on this page and we will email you the current link for trello.com — the publisher's own website — so you receive the authentic build. We do not host, mirror, patch or repackage this software in any way.
Avoid third-party "download manager" sites offering Trello. They commonly wrap the genuine installer in their own bundler, which is how adware and browser hijackers get onto a machine that the user believed was clean.
