Frello — A small revolt against bloated software<br>Manifesto<br>A small revolt<br>against bloated software.<br>Frello is what Trello used to be — reduced, opinionated, and built to move work forward. It's free. Forever.

01The best tool disappears. Frello is built to be forgotten — so the work is what's left, not the software.

02Frello is free. Forever. No seats. No "Standard / Premium / Enterprise". Free means free.

03A Frello board is not a report. If your tool is reporting up, it's not helping down — Frello helps down.

04Frello deletes more than it ships. Less is the feature.

05If you want workflows, automations and 40-person enterprise readiness — Frello is not for you. And that's fine.

Built by one person.<br>Free for everyone.<br>Karsten Biedermann<br>Founder, Frello · May 18, 2026

I hate productivity tools. Not in a cute, ironic way. I mean I genuinely hate how they look, how they feel, and what they've turned into.<br>They're bloated. They're ugly. And they're built for reporting, not for work.<br>At some point I wasn't moving projects forward anymore. I was managing software. That's when I stopped looking for a better tool, and started building one.<br>Frello isn't really about features. It's about aesthetics and space. A calm place to think, talk to your team, and move ideas forward. Reduced to that. Nothing more.<br>I built Frello for people who actually do the work. Not for enterprises. Not for managers. Not to scale pricing per seat.<br>Free forever. No add-ons. No upgrades. No per-seat math.<br>Why free? Because I'm convinced collaboration shouldn't get more expensive the moment it starts working.

Get **** done.
