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
