Why switch

Made for people who ship code

GitHub in the loop

Issues become cards. Moving a card can open an issue and assign it to a teammate or Copilot.

A work log that writes itself

Every card move is logged. Add notes, tag with #hashtags, and export for standups or client invoices.

Your AI agent can help

Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can read the board, move cards, log work and pull docs.

Stay in your editor

Browse boards, create cards and log work from VS Code or Vim / Neovim.

Migration

Bring your Trello boards with you

Export from Trello

Open your board menu in Trello, choose Print, export and share, then Export as JSON.

Upload the JSON

Create a board here and upload the file (up to 10 MB). The import runs in the background.

Keep working

Lists, cards, labels, checklists and due dates land on your new board, in the same order.

Comes over automatically

  • Lists, in order
  • Open cards with descriptions and due dates
  • Labels and their colors
  • Checklists with completion state

Doesn't transfer

  • Archived lists and cards
  • Attachments
  • Comments and activity history
  • Member assignments
Fair is fair

When Trello is the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool than churn in a month.

  • You need a bigger free plan: Trello allows 10 boards free, we allow 2.
  • Your team lives on mobile and wants mature native apps.
  • You depend on specific Power-Ups from the Trello ecosystem.
  • Most of your board users are non-technical and never touch GitHub.
FAQ

Switching from Trello

Can I move my Trello boards over?

Yes. Export a board from Trello as JSON and upload it. Lists, open cards, labels, checklists and due dates come across automatically. Attachments, comments, archived items and member assignments do not.

Does it work with Claude, Cursor and other AI assistants?

Yes. The built-in MCP server lets any MCP-compatible assistant list your boards, read, create and move cards, log work and fetch project docs. Tokens can be limited to specific tools.

How does GitHub sync work?

Connect a repository to a board. Issues sync in as cards, moving a card can create a GitHub issue and assign it to a teammate or Copilot, and cards move to Review automatically when a pull request opens.

How much does it cost?

Free for 1 project and 2 boards. The paid plan is $4 per user per month for unlimited projects, boards and collaboration.
