Trello's simple, visual boards are great — until your project needs a timeline, dependencies, or recurring work, and your team needs email, chat, docs and invoicing too. ADLR keeps the drag-and-drop Kanban you love and adds list, calendar and timeline views, automations and time tracking — inside one AI workspace that also runs the rest of the business. Free for teams up to 5.
Trello's card-and-column simplicity is its strength, but real projects need timelines, dependencies and recurring tasks. ADLR keeps the board and adds list, calendar and timeline views on the same data.
Calendars, dependencies, time tracking and automations often mean stacking Power-Ups or upgrading. In ADLR they're native — no add-on to bolt on per board.
Client emails, team chat, specs and invoices live in other apps. ADLR puts email, chat, docs, calendar and finance beside your boards so nothing falls through the cracks.
ADLR's AI reads your boards, inbox, docs and chat together — it can paste a client brief and turn it into tasks and a timeline, then draft the status update.

Trello plan limits and Power-Up availability are as commonly published and may change — check trello.com for current terms. Trello is genuinely excellent at simple, visual board workflows; ADLR aims to keep that simplicity while covering the rest of the stack.
There's little to migrate. Recreate your columns in a few minutes, or paste a client brief and let ADLR's AI extract the tasks and build the timeline for you. From there, the same project flips between board, list, calendar and timeline — and your boards, conversations, docs and invoices share one search and one AI in a single workspace.

Yes. ADLR connects to GitHub to surface open PRs, CI build health and assigned issues on the dashboard, runs projects as client builds across board, list, timeline and calendar views, and pairs that with HRMS and invoicing.
It's light. Recreate your board columns in minutes or paste a client brief and let ADLR's AI extract the tasks and build a timeline. Your boards, conversations, docs and invoices then live in one workspace with shared search and AI.
