Trello

Trello is an app for collaborating on to-do lists and projects. It’s a great little free app we’ve found, which is available on PCs and via your Android or iPhone mobile / tablet. It is ideal to use when working alone or jointly on a project, allowing individuals to stay organised and teams to easily collaborate remotely on tasks and activities.

Described as ‘a whiteboard with superpowers’, we’d strongly recommend you take a look at this free app, which lets you:

• List, manage and collaborate on tasks
• Create checklists
• Assign task responsibility and deadlines
• Add images and attachments to projects
