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.
