Trello on your desktop, inside Franz

Trello is where a fuzzy project becomes a wall of cards you can actually move: a backlog, a few things in progress, the column you drag a card into when it is finally done. Boards work best when they sit beside the conversations that feed them, because most cards start life as a request in chat or a decision in email. Open Trello in a browser and it becomes one more tab to lose track of, reopened too late to update before standup. Franz keeps Trello docked as a desktop tab next to your team chat, so the board you are running is always one click away from the discussion driving it.

Boards beside the conversation

Cards rarely appear out of nowhere. A teammate asks for a change in Slack, a client signs off on something over email, a new idea surfaces in a thread, and it needs to land on a board before it slips. Franz loads the full trello.com web app as its own service tab, one click from whatever you are reading, so moving a request onto a card does not mean leaving the conversation or hunting for the right browser tab. Your boards, lists, labels, and Power-Ups are exactly the ones you already have, because it is the real Trello, docked into the window where the work is being talked about.

A board that stays put

A kanban board is only useful if you actually look at it, and that depends on it being easy to reach. Because Trello lives in the Franz sidebar with its own spot, your boards do not drift off into browser history or get closed during a tab cleanup. You stay signed in, your starred boards stay starred, and switching to Trello is a keyboard shortcut rather than a search. If you run separate boards for different teams or clients on different accounts, you can add Trello more than once, one tab per account, each with its own session.

Trello on every desktop OS

Franz is a native desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and Trello behaves identically on all three: the same web app, the same login, a real dock or taskbar presence and fast switching between your services. Whether you work on a Mac, a Windows machine, or a Linux box, your boards are set up the same way and sit right next to the team chat where most of the cards come from.
