Trello Desktop App: The Command Center Your Productivity Has Been Missing

How many times have you clicked a Trello link in an email, only to have it open a new browser tab, prompt you to log in, and then show you a mobile interface? With the desktop app, all trello.com links automatically open in the native app. Click a Jira link? It opens your browser. Click a Google Doc? Your browser. Click a Trello card? Right into the app. It creates a clean separation of concerns: browser for the web, desktop app for your work.
