Kerika

Task Boards

Kanban-style boards with a customizable workflow. Each task can hold a checklist of subtasks that are assigned and scheduled separately, and columns can carry work-in-progress limits.

Whiteboards

Free-form canvases for sketching ideas and plans. A whiteboard can contain other whiteboards, so large plans can be nested.

Files in your own cloud storage

Signing up with a Google, Microsoft or Box ID keeps project files in your own Google Drive, OneDrive or Box account, and Kerika tracks file versions.

Chat on cards and boards

Conversations are attached to individual cards and boards, so discussion stays with the work it refers to instead of in email.

Dashboard and highlights

A dashboard gathers what is assigned, due and needing attention across every board, and highlights mark what has changed on each card.

Calendar sync and templates

Due dates can sync to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or Apple Calendar, and boards can start from a library of process templates or from custom ones.

Trello

Boards, lists and cards

Work is laid out as cards in lists on a board. Cards are unlimited on every plan; the Free plan allows up to 10 boards per Workspace.

Inbox

Captures to-dos from email, Slack and other sources into a personal Inbox. It is included on the Free plan.

Planner

Brings a synced calendar into Trello so blocks of focus time can be set aside for work. Full Planner access starts on the Standard plan.

Automation

Built-in automation is metered by Workspace command runs: 250 a month on Free, 1,000 on Standard and unlimited on Premium.

Premium views

Premium adds Calendar, Timeline, Table, Dashboard and Map views, including Workspace-level views that span boards.

Power-Ups and integrations

Power-Ups link boards to other tools, with unlimited Power-Ups per board on every plan. An MCP server connects Trello to AI tools.
