Minimalize the Trello board interface for better overview
Minimalistic board/card styling giving you a birds-eye view in Trello
- Why?
Trello is great, but if you have a lot of cards on your boards, the interface becomes a mess. Too much bulky chrome, borders, margins and paddings. Wouldn't you sometimes wish you could just chip away all the unnecessary junk?
- How?
This small Chrome Extension adds an extra button to the Trello toolbar. Click it and you get more than *50% more actual content on your screen*. Yes, 50 fucking percent.

- (2023-08-23) Anthony栞: It was a good extension but now it is not working please help
- (2023-06-14) Zah Khan: It was a good extension but now it is not working please help
- (2023-04-24) G. Wayne Meaney: I love this. I have numerous Trello extensions installed and this is one of the handiest. I have a lot of cards and it can be overwhelming to look at it in one view, especially having to scroll. BirdsEye fixes this. [EDIT April 2023] I think Atlassian has made a change to Trello which has killed BirdsEye! :( It doesn't appear to work anymore.
- (2022-04-21) K Mason Schecter: Excellent. Does as promised. I applied a few tweaks. Rather than mod the code, I used Stylebot and added the following code to reveal the full text labels, while also removing a bit more space: span.card-label.card-label.mod-card-front { width: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; }
- (2021-11-15) J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. “Nic” Bentulan: been taking this for granted for years. great stuff. does what it says.
- (2021-09-23) Luke Peters: Cool extension! Works great and makes scanning my Trello tasks more easily. Thanks for making this.
- (2021-01-22) Roman Dyachenko: В январе 2021 работает нормально. Эффект хороший.
- (2020-03-25) Metamotion: It was working as expected, then I realize the plugin was preventing other Trello Power-Up from working (their semi translucent button does not appear). I have tried several different Trello Power-Ups and the problem was the same. Please fix it.
- (2019-06-04) Útil para visualizar muchas tarjetas en una sola pantalla
- (2019-05-05) Philippe BARRAUD: Indispensable pour tout utilisateur de Trello !
- (2018-12-25) Ігор Кутейніцин: Very awesome! I wish empty space become even less... Still great job, helps alot! Thanks devs! Cheers! <3 <3 <3
- (2018-10-31) Pretty useful, I like it. I often struggle with the zoom level I use in Trello and this addon answers this issue. There are still minor cosmetic issues and that's why I only rate it 4 stars (for instance, the labels and the member avatar sometimes overlap) but it's very useful nonetheless. Thanks for this!
- (2018-10-30) Marco Salvatori: ottima!! permette di compattare la visualizzazione in modo efficace!!
- (2018-10-30) Yen-Feng Cheng (Yen): doesn't work...

- (2018-09-07) Heather Ezell: I love the idea, but the extension does not work
- (2018-06-15) Tomasz H (Halkins): Great idea, but actually it is not working on my laptop. When I click the small icon I get back to CHROME EXTENSION each time. I am gonna give it a try, but so far no success.. :(
- (2018-04-03) Subir Kumedan: Its great. Works very well. Lately I've noticed that when activated, the List names turn white rendering them invisible. WOuld love to get this fixed.
- (2018-03-19) AJ S: Two stars for excellent idea, BUT I cannot get it to work. I disabled all other Trello-related extensions (have no power ups) and it still just doesn't work.
- (2018-03-07) Dr. Brad Wilkerson: Works great. Lets me perform a quick view so I can prioritize very simply.
- (2017-02-05) anant: Doesnt work at ALL
- (2017-01-28) Philippe Larcher: I would appreciate a few options, like hiding images… also the design of trello compact mode is nicer for me. I like the ability to change the view with 1 click.
