kanban does not need configuring to work. tadoo opens as a six-column board - backlog to done - and everything else (WIP limits, due dates, streaks) is already there.
fixed columns, one board, no configuration screens. the six-column layout (backlog, to do, doing, review, blocked, done) is the classic kanban shape - it works, so it ships ready.
yes - it is the recommended starting point. you learn kanban by dragging cards and hitting WIP limits, not by configuring fields. most people never need more.
while accounts are limited the board is free to use. after that it is 5 dollars a month flat - no per-user fees, so the price never grows with your team.
no - it means fewer decisions. WIP limits, due dates, color labels, the pomodoro timer and streak stats are all included; they just do not require setup.
the six columns are fixed on purpose - renaming is the first step back into configuration hell. the layout matches how work actually flows for individuals and small teams.
trello gives you infinite boards, lists and power-ups and charges per user. tadoo gives you one excellent board at a flat price. see the comparison page for the line-by-line.
five cards, no more. one per thing actually on your plate this week. drag them into to do and stop keeping the list in your head.
you will try to start a fourth thing while three are in progress. the limit says finish or move one first. that friction is the whole method - and it works.
cards cleared, streak length, where things pile up. simple board, honest feedback - that is the loop that keeps people doing kanban after the novelty fades.
