A Trello alternative that stays on your machine.
Trello is great for boards you share. Planner's Compass is for the board you don't — the plan for your own week, kept on your own laptop.
Solo Trello users are quietly the biggest cohort, and they're paying for a collaboration tool they don't collaborate in. The Compass is the tool that assumes you were mostly using it alone.
What the Compass has that Trello doesn't
Time-blocking, habit tracking, goals, and a weekly review — one file that covers most of what a personal planner needs, not just the card wall.
What Trello has that the Compass doesn't
Shared boards, Butler automations, and the Atlassian ecosystem. For a team of ten, Trello is still the right answer.
Common questions
Can I import my Trello board?
Trello exports JSON; a small paste-in accepts card titles into a list. Attachments and comments don't migrate — deliberately.
Board per project?
Yes — the Compass supports multiple boards in-file.
For a team?
Not a team tool. The Founder's Engine is closer to what a small team wants.
How is this different from Tasks the tool?
The Compass is a full planning Blade; Tasks is a single list.
