Trello Next Step

About

Trello Next Step brings your checklists to the surface — without opening each card.

Instead of clicking into every card to see what needs to be done, Trello Next Step displays checklist items directly on your Trello board cards, so you can see and act on your next steps at a glance.

Trello's built-in checklist feature requires opening each card individually to view and check off tasks. Trello Next Step surfaces that information directly on the board, making it faster to manage your work without losing context.

Features:
• View checklist items directly on board cards
• Check off and uncheck items without opening the card
• Multiple display modes to match your workflow
• Supports Markdown formatting in checklist item names
• Full dark mode support
• Lightweight and fast — no external services or accounts required

Display modes:
• Hidden — no items displayed
• Show next step per card — the first incomplete item per card
• Show next steps on first checklist — all items from the first checklist
• Show next step per checklist — first incomplete item from each checklist
• Show all next steps — every incomplete item across all checklists
• Includes completed variants for each mode

No configuration needed — install, open a Trello board, and your checklist items appear automatically.
