Trello
The simplest way to visualise work moving from to-do to done
What it is
About Trello
Trello organises tasks as cards that move across customisable lists (e.g. To Do, Doing, Done), making it one of the most approachable project-tracking tools available. It's popular with small teams and individuals for its low learning curve, though it scales down in structure compared to tools like Jira or Monday.com for larger, more complex programmes.

Pro Tip
Set up one or two Butler automation rules (e.g. auto-move cards when a checklist completes) — it's the difference between Trello feeling like a to-do list and feeling like a lightweight workflow engine.
