Plane

The most-starred open-source project management platform on GitHub with over 55,000 stars, Plane delivers what Jira, Linear, Monday, and ClickUp charge thousands per year for — issue tracking, sprint planning, documentation, and AI-powered workflows in one unified workspace that you own and control entirely. Work items feature a rich text editor with file uploads, sub-properties, custom states, priorities, labels, assignees, and cross-referencing, organized across five customizable layout views (list, board, table, spreadsheet, Gantt) with Command-K navigation for instant access to anything. Time-boxed Cycles provide sprint planning with automatic burn-down charts, velocity tracking, and scope change detection, while Modules break complex projects into manageable deliverables with progress aggregation. Built-in Pages combine AI-powered documentation with rich formatting, image embedding, and one-click conversion of notes into actionable work items. The AI layer reads across every project, cycle, document, and thread in the workspace — agents take real assignments, triage incoming requests, assign owners, track blockers, and ship status updates automatically. Native integrations connect GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Sentry, Figma, and 50+ tools with bidirectional issue sync and PR tracking, while import pipelines migrate entire workspaces from Jira, Linear, Asana, ClickUp, or Monday in minutes. The REST API with OAuth 2.0, HMAC-signed webhooks, typed SDKs in Node.js and Python, and a native MCP server enable custom automations. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
