Leantime

"As simple as Trello but as feature-rich as Jira" is how the Leantime team frames its goals-focused project management system for non-project managers - built from the ground up with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia in mind, with behavioral science shaping customizable dashboards, time blocking, low-cognitive-load prioritization, and Kanban, list, table, Gantt, and calendar views so each person works the way their brain does. The PHP application (AGPL, Laravel Blade frontend) connects strategy to execution: tasks with unlimited subtasks and dependencies roll up into milestones on a timeline, sprints and retrospectives handle iteration, and strategy-level blueprint boards - Lean Canvas, SWOT, risk analysis, goal and metric tracking - keep the "why" attached to the work. Knowledge lives alongside: wikis and docs, idea boards, comments on everything, file storage on S3 or local disk, even screen and webcam recording. Time tracking with timesheets supports estimation and client billing. Admin features are serious for an OSS tool: per-project permissions, two-factor auth, LDAP and OIDC single sign-on, Slack, Mattermost, and Discord integrations, a plugin system, and an expanding API that now powers a mobile app. Recent releases added multi-collaborator task assignment and low-vision accessibility improvements. Available in 20+ languages.
