Trello
Board and card app for tracking tasks and projects
A task tracker built on the metaphor of index cards sorted into piles. Cards carry notes, files and comments, and they move across columns as work progresses. Because a board is shared, everyone can see what is active without asking, which cuts down on status email.

Trello holds what he is working on. He describes it as virtual index cards in piles, with files and notes attached to each one, and says the point is that nothing gets forgotten and a team can see the same list.
