Menu

Every board as simple as its team needs.

You switch on 16 Power-Ups per board – all included in every plan, all built by the Contals team.

Start freeDocs: Power-Ups
A date poll on a card for the team evening: three evenings with the answers of two team members and two guests; the best date is marked and can be picked.

Scheduling

  • Date poll

    Available

    Propose dates or time slots on a card; members and guests without an account vote (yes, if need be, no). The chosen slot becomes the due date.

    Covers: Doodle

    Needs: Due dates (turned on with it)

    Video: the organiser picks the best evening of the date poll – it becomes the card’s due date.

  • Booking page

    Available

    A public page where clients book free time slots. Every booking becomes a card with a due date, confirmed by e-mail with a calendar file.

    Covers: Calendly

    Needs: Due dates (turned on with it)

    Video: on a phone, someone books a get-to-know-you talk on the public booking page – confirmed at once.

  • List limits

    Available

    A WIP limit per list: a counter in the list header, and the list is highlighted when it has too many cards.

  • Dependencies

    Available

    "Blocked by": cards wait for other cards. A hint on the card while something is open, a notice when it can start, and a page with every blocked card. No Gantt chart.

Automation

  • Card repeater

    Available

    Creates a copy of a card every day, week, month or year – with description, labels, assignees and due date.

  • Automation

    Available

    Rules (trigger, conditions, actions), schedules, and card and board buttons that move, label, assign, comment on cards and more.

Collaboration

  • Voting

    Available

    Everyone can give one vote per card. A count on the card, who voted, and a ranking as a board page.

Reporting

  • Card aging

    Available

    Cards without activity fade over time (or turn yellow in pirate mode), so forgotten work stands out.

How Power-Ups work

Board admins switch them on and off on the board’s Power-Ups page; switched off means hidden, not deleted.

Off means hidden, not deleted
Switching a Power-Up off hides its data; switching it on again shows it.
Same rules as the core
Every Power-Up change is checked on the server like any other change to the board.
Loaded only when used
A board without a Power-Up never downloads its code, so boards stay fast.
No third-party code
Power-Ups are first-party. Your board data is not shared with add-on vendors.

Questions and answers

What is a Power-Up in Contals?

A Power-Up is an optional feature that a board admin switches on for one board, such as the calendar, automation or date polls. Turning it off hides its data without deleting it.

Do Power-Ups cost extra?

No. As of October 2026 every Power-Up is included in every plan, the free plan too.

Which Power-Ups replace Trello’s?

Calendar, List limits, Card aging, Card snooze, Voting, Read me, Dashboard, Package tracker, Card repeater and Automation (like Butler) cover Trello’s most used free Power-Ups; the countdown is a setting of Due dates, and custom fields and checklists are built in.

Can I install third-party Power-Ups like in Trello?

No. Contals Power-Ups are built by the Contals team only, so board data never goes to add-on vendors. Other tools connect through the public REST API and the MCP server.
