Is Trello going to release a Linux Desktop app?
Asked by ardeshireshghi:

It is interesting to see that Trello has released desktop apps. However, they are limited to Windows and Mac at the minute. Is there a plan on releasing a Linux based application?

body: It's 2019 and, by the fact that only some hundreds viewed this post and nearly no one commented anything, I suppose Trello remains with only a few people interested on it for Linux... if you are reading this and wanted a version for Linux (like me), please post it here!!

Now I'm using an unofficial solution: <https://www.edivaldobrito.com.br/cliente-desktop-do-trello-no-linux/>

author: priestoferis
body: The MS Teams linux client is actually out already, even though it says "preview" it seems quite full fledged to me.

body: A Linux version would be great. I'm interested, too.

author: Osamu Morozumi
body: Yes please, our entire dev team uses various Linux distros and the agency uses trello for all maintenance/todos so I've always got it open. I've made a shortcut to the web page but I can't make it stick to all visible workspaces.


author: Wilfried
body: I woudl liek to have it too, plus the fact that when i open trello on my Google Chrome browser, I can't understand why but my CPU is reaching spike for a few sec and then go back at normal temp (SecurePaymentConfirmation process is triggered i don't understand why + the chromium dev team are on it but can't give answer too)


author: Janca
body: Hi everyone, can these help?  

1. there's a recently appeared [Trello Desktop wrapper snap](https://snapcraft.io/trello-desktop)  
(or at least I believe it might be that)

<br />

2. I am the developer of the [Focus\|Project app for Trello](https://snapcraft.io/focus-project), also see <https://f-p.app> which, if you interact with todos a lot, can also help [@Osamu Morozumi](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4481218) ?)  

(Both options should work on several Linux distributions, though I - somehow... :) - know option 2. is not that well versed yet with Wayland, i.e. Ubuntu 21.)

body: Hi Ardeshir,

That's a great question---right now, we're not planning on a Linux version, but I'll let the team know you're looking for it!

comments: author: Bence Ferdinandy
body: Let's hope this changes, it would really be great :)


author: Kanwar
body: <https://github.com/danielchatfield/trello-desktop>

haven't tried it myself yet though!


author: Bence Ferdinandy
body: It's basically just a desktop wrapper for the website as far as I could make out (no offline capability).


author: Christopher Carr
body: It's an Electron app, so there's really zero excuse for not having a Linux version --- that's the whole point of Electron.


author: Chris Beach
body: Please deliver a Linux app. Electron is fine - I'd just like to use an app with its own icon and desktop notifications.

2. I am the developer of the [Focus\|Project app for Trello](https://snapcraft.io/focus-project), also see <https://f-p.app> which, while trying to avoid overlapping with Trello's corresponding functionality, has some degree of desktop notifications support [@Chris Beach](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4245933)   

Let me know if I'm wrong, but am almost sure none of these (can vouch for 2. of course :) ) have much offline capability... [@Bence Ferdinandy](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1156351) you might have some experience now with option 1. perhaps?  

(Both options should work on several Linux distributions, though I - "somehow" - happen to know option 2. is not that well versed yet with Wayland, i.e. Ubuntu 21.)


author: Martin Jarvis
body: I ended up here looking for a Linux version too. I'd like to create an interactive board hanging on the wall with a touch screen, probably powered by a raspberry pi underneath and with offline support.


author: Shiran Vatury
body: Would like that as well


author: lwbaqueros
body: Please


author: anwerashif
body: Trello should release Linux version for stupid genius like us.


author: Prince Storm
body: How about a snap, a lot of the other kanban apps like zenkit, ora use **Snaps** for Linux, **Snaps** are distro independent.

comments: author: muhamad_mubarok
body: em may be its nice


author: Shiran Vatury
body: I would love it to be in linux


author: Labib
body: I am quite interested in seeing a linux version as well, or alternatively, a web app version. Web apps can be easily supported on linux.

author: Janca
body: Hello,

Anyone tried [Focus\|Project App](https://snapcraft.io/focus-project)? Not a replacement, but I am creating an app, of which the Trello integration is getting published first.

I use it as a reduced functionality Trello desktop client for the stuff that I'd quickly/frequently reach for. (I think it does help me, nut sure how biased I am though :) ) When just fiddling with a card it can help I suppose, for everything 'large scope' I just use the web.

It's really in beta - it will need some improvements even on the most basic things like authorization, for instance - so getting started could be daunting right now, but it is written/tested on the go on Ubuntu, so I think you can guess which OS it feels home on ;)

Also it has one of the darkest UIs (optionally) that I ever created =b

(I hope to get back to putting it on the Trello integrations route soon, for now it's just an "Unknown app" when authorizing.)

author: Josh Steiner
body: Any sign of a Linux client? I use all 3 platforms but Linux (Ubuntu) is my primary dev platform and where having trello client would be of most use to me.
