About Trello Swimlanes

What it does

Trello Swimlanes gives your team a clearer view of your Trello boards by breaking them into swimlanes — one row per team member, showing exactly which cards each person owns, plus a row for unassigned work. Everything is grouped by list status so you can see at a glance what's in progress, blocked, or done.

It's designed for the moments when the whole team is together: daily standups, sprint planning sessions, and workload reviews where you need to quickly answer "who's doing what?"

Why I built it

Trello's default board view is great for day-to-day card management, but it makes it hard to see workload distribution across a team at a glance. I built Trello Swimlanes to fill that gap — a simple, focused tool that makes standups faster and sprint planning easier.

Support the project

Trello Swimlanes is completely free — no ads, no subscriptions, no tracking of your Trello data. It's a side project I built and maintain in my spare time.

If it saves you time in standups or sprint planning, a small donation helps cover hosting costs and keeps me motivated to add new features and fix bugs.
