The Trello Alternative with Native GitHub Integration
Trello is great for personal to-do lists. But when you need to track GitHub PRs, manage sprints, and predict delivery risk — you need Rahnuma.io. The Trello alternative built for software teams.
Why Developers Switch from Trello: The GitHub Problem
Trello's GitHub Power-Up attaches PRs and commits to cards, but your board still doesn't move when code ships. Rahnuma.io solves this — natively, with zero configuration.
PR Auto-Sync
Open a PR on GitHub → task moves to 'In Review' automatically. Merge the PR → task closes. Zero manual updates.
Commit Linking
Mention a task ID (e.g. DEV-42) in your commit message and every commit, PR, and branch links to that task automatically.
AI Risk from GitHub
Rahnuma.io uses your commit frequency and PR review time as signals for AI deadline risk scoring — predicting slips 30 days early.
Trello's GitHub Power-Up vs Rahnuma's Native GitHub Sync
Both connect your board to GitHub. The difference is whether GitHub just shows up on a card, or actually drives your workflow.
Trello + GitHub Power-Up
- •Attach branches, commits, issues and PRs to a card
- •See PR status on the card
- •Cards stay where they are until someone drags them
- •No sprints, story points or velocity built in
Rahnuma.io native GitHub sync
- PR opened → task moves to In Review automatically
- PR merged → task moves to Done
- Commits referencing a task ID are logged on the task
- GitHub activity feeds sprint velocity and AI deadline risk

Trello Alternative — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Trello integrate with GitHub?
Yes — Trello has a GitHub Power-Up that lets you attach branches, commits, issues and pull requests to a card and see their status. What it doesn't do is run your workflow from code: cards don't move on their own when a PR opens or merges, and there are no sprints, story points or velocity built in. If you only need links on cards, the Power-Up is enough. If you want the board to update itself from GitHub, you need a tool built around that. See our step-by-step guide to connecting GitHub to Trello for the full setup.
Why switch from Trello to a GitHub-integrated project management tool?
Trello is great for simple boards, but its GitHub Power-Up only attaches links to cards. When your tasks live in Trello and your code lives in GitHub, developers still have to move cards by hand — and they don't. Rahnuma.io connects to your GitHub repos via webhooks: when a PR is opened, a task moves to 'In Review'; when it merges, the task closes automatically. No manual updates needed.
Is Rahnuma.io a good Trello alternative for GitHub users?
Yes. Rahnuma.io is purpose-built for teams using GitHub. You get native PR sync, commit linking, branch tracking, and AI sprint forecasting that uses your actual GitHub activity as a signal. It's the Trello alternative specifically designed for software development teams.
What does Rahnuma.io do that Trello cannot?
Rahnuma.io adds: (1) Native GitHub and Bitbucket PR sync — tasks auto-update from code. (2) AI sprint planning — create a full sprint's tasks from one-line requirements. (3) Deadline risk forecasting — predict delivery risk 30 days early. (4) Story points and sprint velocity tracking. (5) AI standup generator from task activity. Trello requires paid Power-Ups for even basic developer features.
How hard is it to migrate from Trello to Rahnuma.io?
Most teams are set up within an hour. Create a board, recreate your Trello lists as columns, and paste in your open cards — or describe your backlog in plain English and let AI task creation generate the tasks for you. Connect GitHub on day one and your board starts updating from PRs immediately.
