What Trawpie is

Trawpie plans work week by week: people down the side, weeks across the top, tasks where they meet. Here is the idea in five minutes.

Updated 11 Nov 2026 · 2 min read

Trawpie is a weekly planner for teams, and for you on your own. Every workspace is one board: people down the side, weeks across the top, and tasks where they meet. It works the same for a group project, a society, a lab, a software team or a company programme.

Sam’s row has two categories, Hardware and Report. Each task sits in the week it’s planned for.

The idea in one minute

  • A workspace is one project or team. You can be in as many as you like, and each has its own people, roles and settings.
  • Each person has a row, split into their own categories: Sam might have Hardware and Report, Jo might have Testing.
  • Each week is a column. The week containing today says THIS WEEK. Weeks can have real dates, so the board matches your calendar.
  • Tasks are cards. A card has a deadline, priority, sub-tasks, helpers, files and comments. Unfinished work carries over to next week, keeping its history.
  • Everything is live. Changes save as you type and appear for everyone within a second. There is no save button.

What you can switch on

A new workspace starts simple. Owners and admins switch extra tools on in Settings ▸ Features, and off again without losing anything.

Just for you: SelfTrack

Your home page has a private side too. SelfTrack holds your own days, habits and personal projects, and pulls in the tasks your teams give you. Nobody else can see it, not even your teams.
