Zenkit - Trello style project and task management

Lifehacker's team has long been using Trello to manage tasks and organize teamwork, but they also do not forget to look around for alternatives. Zenkit is perhaps the best we've come across.

For those who are not in the subject, let us remind you that Trello is a very convenient service that uses the principles of the Japanese Kanban system. In the original source, a simple scoreboard was used, on which task cards are attached in several columns. As they progress, they move from one column to another, which gives a visual representation of the current state of affairs.

Zenkit fully complies with this concept. Look, there is also a workspace with columns of cards. Each card has a title, description, due date and a number of other properties. Any of them, as expected, can be freely moved between the columns.

But what if you don't like all this oriental exoticism and prefer to use the good old calendar to organize your life? No problem: in Zenkit, you can switch to scheduling mode with just one click.

But that's not all. The service also has list and tabular ways of presenting tasks. We especially liked the latter because it allows us to sort the cards according to many characteristics, for example, by duration, importance, or state.

To really impress us, the developers are going to soon include the function of building various reports, mind maps and Gantt charts in Zenkit. While these features are only available for closed beta testing, they look really cool. See for yourself.

Yes, Zenkit is by far the best Trello alternative. We wish the latter prosperity and long life, but if something happens, you now know where to run.

If Zenkit still had mobile clients for iOS and Android, then there would be no price for this service at all. By the way, you can use it completely free of charge for teams of up to five people.
