The Trello alternative for teams who've outgrown boards

Trello made Kanban easy, and then your team's real work spilled into WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets, and calendar invites. Rowsh keeps the drag and drop simplicity and adds the chat, calendar, and files your boards can't hold.

  • Kanban boards as simple as the ones you use today
  • List & timeline views when boards aren't enough
  • Team chat and calls next to your cards
  • Calendar, files, notes & AI, no power ups needed

Boards, plus the views boards can't show

A board shows flow, it can't show a deadline crunch three weeks out or a queue that needs triage. Rowsh gives you Kanban, list, and timeline over the same tasks, so you plan in the view that fits the question, without add ons.

  • Drag and drop Kanban, familiar from day one
  • List view for fast filtering and bulk edits
  • Timeline for deadlines, dependencies & roadmaps

Retire the WhatsApp group

When the board lives in one app and the discussion in another, nothing connects: decisions in chat never reach the card, and cards get stale. Rowsh puts channels, DMs, and calls in the same workspace, and any message becomes a task on the board.

  • Channels & DMs with threads and reactions
  • Turn a chat message into a card in one click
  • A shared team calendar with booking links included
