Trello alternative
If you can use Trello, you already know Task. The same kanban board — columns, cards, drag-and-drop — in a cleaner, faster app that also lives on your phone and, if you ever want it, your terminal.
Everything you do in Trello, plus a few things it never gave you.
| Feature | Task | Trello |
|---|---|---|
| Kanban board with drag-and-drop | Yes | Yes |
| Clean, distraction-free interface | Yes | Cluttered with power-ups |
| Native mobile web app (PWA) | Yes | Yes |
| Command-line interface | Yes | No |
| AI assistant integration (Claude, GPT, Gemini) | Built in | Add-ons only |
| Consensual task handoff (pass the ball) | Yes | No |
| Recurring tasks & due dates | Yes | Paid power-up |
| Price to start | Free | Free |
| Paid plan | $2/mo | From $5/user/mo |
Yes. You get the same kanban board — columns with cards you drag from one to the next — with a cleaner, faster interface, native mobile, and no per-board card limits on the free plan.
Task is board-first: create a project, add cards to each column, and drag them across exactly like a Trello list. You can recreate a board in minutes and share it with your team.
Not at all. The web app is the front door — open it, see your board, drag your cards. The CLI is there for the day you want it, not a requirement.
Task is free to start. Pro is $2/month and unlocks project sharing, more storage, and larger file attachments.
