OpenApps Tasks

Free alternative to Trello

Free kanban boards. No sign-up, no limits.

Tasks is a free alternative to Trello: boards with lists and cards, checklists, due dates and labels, with no sign-up and no limit on boards or on the people who edit them. Share the board link and everyone works on it together, live.

  • Unlimited boards, cards and people
  • Drag and drop with a mouse, a finger or the keyboard
  • Board, list and calendar views
  • Bring your Trello board over in one step

How it works

  1. Make a board

    Name it and start from a template, or import a Trello board. No account, no email.

  2. Share the link

    Everyone with the link can add, edit and move cards from any phone or computer. Changes show up for everyone right away.

  3. Move work along

    Drag cards from To do to Done. Add checklists, due dates and people, and see what is due on the calendar.

Everything a team board needs

  • Drag and drop everywhere

    Move cards and lists with a mouse. On a phone, press and hold a card, then drag. With a keyboard, press Space to pick a card up and the arrow keys to move it.

  • Cards with the details

    Descriptions with Markdown, checklists, due dates and times, labels, people, comments and a cover color.

  • Three views

    The board, a list you can sort like a spreadsheet, and a calendar of due dates.

  • Search and filters

    Find cards by text, or show only one label, one person, or what is overdue or due this week.

  • Archive, never lose

    Archive cards and lists to clear the board, and restore them any time.

  • Your data, your way

    Import from Trello. Export any board as JSON or CSV for a spreadsheet.

  • An admin link for the owner

    Whoever makes the board gets a private link to rename, archive or delete it and to remove people's devices.

  • Made for AI assistants too

    A public API lets an assistant set up a board, add and move cards, and report what is done.

Start from a template

Like Trello, without the limits

Free plans of paid task apps cap boards and people, so a growing team hits a wall. Tasks has no caps because a board costs almost nothing to run, and OpenApps pays for it.

Updated October 2026. Other apps' plans as reported in 2026 on their pricing pages; they change, so check their sites. Trello users report that boards turn view-only when a free Workspace goes over 10 collaborators.

Move your Trello board in a minute

Lists, cards, descriptions, labels, checklists, due dates, members and comments come across. Attachments, Power-Ups and automations stay behind.

  1. In Trello, open the board menu and choose Print, export and share, then Export as JSON.
  2. Here, choose Import from Trello under the board maker and pick the file.
  3. Check the counts, press Import board, and share the new link.

For AI assistants

Your assistant can run the board.

Tasks has a public API with no account. An assistant can set up a board from a template or a plan, add and move cards as work happens, comment, and tell you what is overdue.

Reading a board needs only its id. Changing it needs the board key, sent in the x-board-key header. Full reference: llms.txt and openapi.json.
