Trello Desktop and Mobile Apps: Kanban Boards Everywhere

Trello organises work as boards made of lists and cards. Move a card from “To do” to “Doing” to “Done” and everyone on the board sees the change. It works for personal to-do lists, content calendars and small team projects alike.

Official apps

• Windows: Trello’s desktop app is distributed through the Microsoft Store.
• Mac: the desktop app is in the Mac App Store.
• Android and iPhone: the Trello: Daily Task Tracker app on Google Play and the App Store.
• Web: everything also works at trello.com in a browser.

The desktop apps keep Trello in its own window, separate from your browser tabs, with native notifications.

Useful features

• Cards with detail: checklists, due dates, attachments, labels and comments.
• Automation: Trello’s built-in automation can move cards or add checklists when something happens.
• Views and Power-Ups: add calendar views and integrations with other tools.
• Templates: start from a ready-made board instead of a blank one.

Getting started

1. Use the Download button for Trello’s official apps page and choose your platform, or tap a store link on this page.
2. Sign in with an Atlassian account; you can create one for free.
3. Create a board, add lists for each stage and start adding cards.

Plans

Trello has a free plan, which Trello describes as for individuals or small teams looking to keep work organised. Paid plans add features such as more views, larger automation quotas and admin controls. The iOS app currently needs iOS 18.6 or later.

For bigger software projects with sprints and issue tracking, Atlassian’s Jira is the step up; Asana is another popular choice for team task management.
