Paca is a self-hosted project management platform and Scrumban workspace where autonomous artificial intelligence agents collaborate with human software engineers as first-class Scrum teammates instead of external chat assistants. Engineering teams manage sprints, backlogs, and task lifecycles through a shared real-time board powered by Socket.IO where both humans and agents pick up assignments and post progress updates. A native Model Context Protocol server connects external coding assistants such as Claude Desktop and Claude Code directly into projects, tasks, and sprint data without custom scraping scripts. Distributed agents execute in isolated runtime sandboxes powered by the OpenHands software development kit, co-authoring behavior-driven development Gherkin scenarios with product owners and maintaining living system design documents. Visual event-driven automation builders compose multi-branch trigger, condition, and action pipelines that evaluate task dependency gates and cron schedules. A sandboxed WebAssembly plugin runtime allows developers to write custom backend logic and custom board views using Go or Rust. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.

Windshift packs boards, sprints, roadmaps, test runs, time tracking, and a customer portal into one open-source tracker that replaces Jira on a server you control. Epics, stories, and sub-tasks form a hierarchy you can view as a board, list, tree, or map, and backlog items drag into dated sprints. The roadmap stretches across weeks, months, or quarters, and milestone pages show completion percentage with a status breakdown. Each workspace defines its own item types, custom fields, screens, statuses, priorities, workflows with conditions and approvals, and permissions, while JQL-style queries save as shared views. Event-driven rules update fields, notify people, and create work. Customers file requests through a public portal, and your team works them through queues with SLAs and approvals. Reusable test cases roll into test runs with success rates, and timers log billable and internal hours against projects and customers. GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo connections put branches and pull requests on the work item, and the importer brings over Jira projects, comments, attachments, and worklogs. A knowledge base and an asset register keep documentation and inventory next to the work. The interface speaks nine languages, including right-to-left Arabic, and sign-in supports OIDC single sign-on and passkeys.

Give your coding agents a board they can work, not just read: Kanzo is a self-hosted kanban board where you and your agents move the same tasks through the same columns at the same time. Tell an agent to take the next task and it moves the card to doing, comments as it works, and leaves the result where you can read it in the browser. Projects follow the code automatically: the agent finds the right board from the Git remote of the repository it is working in, and you can link more repositories to a project from its menu. Press n to add a task, search every project with a slash or Command-K, paste an image straight into a card or comment, and park half-formed ideas in an optional Backlog column that agents leave alone until you promote them. The whole board is one folder, and a private Git repository you own keeps it in step across a laptop, a desktop, and a Raspberry Pi, with conflicts resolved by choosing which side to keep. Statuses are yours to rename in the config file, the board exports cleanly to Markdown or JSON, and one click in the sidebar installs updates and restarts the service. 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.

"Less is more" is Kanboard's stated philosophy, and the free, MIT-licensed PHP application lives it: drag tasks between customizable columns, enforce work-in-progress limits per column, and slice boards horizontally with swimlanes for releases, teams, or priorities. Tasks carry what matters - colors, categories, subtasks with time estimates, Markdown descriptions, comments, attachments, internal links, and due dates - and move or duplicate across projects in one click. A concise query language filters any board dynamically (assignee, category, due date, description), and saved filters become custom views. The automatic-actions engine kills repetitive triage: on events like column moves or task creation, Kanboard reassigns, recolors, recategorizes, or closes tasks by rule. Around the board sit a calendar, per-project analytics (cumulative flow, lead and cycle time), Gantt view, and time tracking. Authentication spans LDAP/Active Directory, Google, GitHub, GitLab, and reverse-proxy headers; a JSON-RPC API, webhooks for creating tasks from external systems, and a CLI cover integration. A large community plugin catalog adds what core deliberately omits. With no external dependencies, it runs happily on anything from a Raspberry Pi up - translated into 30+ languages.

Edi Life OS puts the habits, goals, projects, money, focus sessions, and notes that usually live in five separate apps into one calm dashboard on your own server. Start the day from an Overview that rolls focus, habit trends, goals, finances, and the week ahead into one readable score. Connect long-term goals to six life areas, drive progress from a checklist, a measure, or a habit you actually keep, and use weekly, monthly, or quarterly reviews to choose the next honest step. Log daily habits with streaks and monthly progress, run timed focus sessions with short and long breaks, and keep a history of the deep work you finished. Track expenses, income, budgets, debts, and credits in your chosen currency, including recurring entries that land straight in the ledger. Plan projects on draggable Kanban boards with labels, priorities, due dates, checklists, comments, and attachments, then see card deadlines and money dues together in one calendar. Capture Markdown notes with preview and export, pin sticky notes with colors and connections, and give each account its own private workspace, theme, and currency. Ask an AI assistant through the optional MCP server to read your dashboard, create goals, log habits, or record expenses through a token-protected API that never touches the database directly. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Your team's work lives in boards, sprints, and deadlines, and TaskView keeps all of it on infrastructure you control instead of a vendor's cloud. Projects break down into lists, tasks, and nested subtasks with priorities, tags, deadlines, and assignees, arranged on custom Kanban boards whose statuses you define yourself. A dependency graph shows which tasks block which, sprints organize iterations, and recurring tasks regenerate on schedule so weekly rituals never need manual recreation. Built-in time tracking separates billable from non-billable hours, and analytics turn that data into workload reports, productivity views, and income and expense summaries. Multiple organizations share one instance with invites, granular role permissions, and real-time updates, while SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SCIM provisioning plug into your existing identity provider. GitHub and GitLab integrations connect development work to the board, signed webhooks push events into your other systems, and scoped API tokens plus a TypeScript client make automation safe to hand out. An MCP server lets AI assistants search projects, create and update tasks, and manage statuses within the exact permissions you grant.

Seven columns, one per day, hold your whole week of tasks in Will Be Done, and rebalancing a crowded Wednesday means dragging a card to Friday. Unfinished tasks keep their day and get a quiet yellow marker instead of piling into tomorrow as red overdue badges. The Today view narrows the screen to one day, and Stash holds the few tasks you want close at hand without picking a date. Projects get kanban boards with columns you define, such as Week, Month, Ideas, and Someday, and separate spaces keep work and personal planning apart. Tasks carry descriptions and checklists, and recurring tasks repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly with custom intervals and end dates. Every device holds a full local database, so planning, completing, and rescheduling happen with no network at all, and changes sync across tabs and devices once the server is reachable. Vim keys such as h, j, k, and l move through everything, and a global quick-add shortcut in the Linux, macOS, and Windows desktop apps captures a task without leaving the window you are in. Todoist and TickTick imports bring existing projects along, and a token-protected HTTP API with OpenAPI docs lets scripts, cron jobs, and bots drop tasks straight into your stash.

What Trello fans wanted Trello to stay: Kan (kan.bn) is a minimalist, frills-free kanban board capturing the original vision before the enterprise pivots - and then adds the things 2025 actually demands. The core is exactly right: drag-and-drop cards across lists, labels and filters to find work fast, comments for discussion on cards, checklists, a detailed activity log tracking every change, and reusable board templates. Workspaces gather your team with member invites and role management, and board visibility controls decide who can view or edit each board. Migration is first-class: a built-in Trello importer brings existing boards over, so switching costs an afternoon, not a quarter. The standout differentiator is the bundled Model Context Protocol server exposing 46 tools across workspaces, boards, lists, cards, comments, checklists, labels, and members - meaning Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot, or any MCP client can read and manage your boards in natural language: "move everything assigned to me into Done" becomes a sentence, not a click marathon. The stack is modern TypeScript - Next.js, tRPC, Drizzle ORM over PostgreSQL, Better Auth (credentials or OAuth), Tailwind - with optional SMTP email and S3 file storage. Unlimited boards, lists, and cards; AGPL-licensed.

With nearly 8,000 GitHub stars since its December 2024 launch, Kaneo has rapidly gained traction as the minimalist alternative to bloated project management platforms like Jira and Linear. Built on TypeScript with React and Hono, the interface strips away complexity to focus on execution — plan in list view, track in kanban board, and schedule on interactive Gantt chart timelines where dragging bar handles adjusts start and due dates with optimistic UI updates. Native GitHub integration synchronizes issues bidirectionally, links pull requests to tasks, and keeps product planning aligned with development execution without context switching. The built-in Model Context Protocol server at /api/mcp enables AI tools like Claude and Cursor to manage tasks, projects, and labels directly, while the official @kaneo/mcp npm package provides stdio access for local MCP clients. Authentication supports password, magic link, GitHub OAuth, and Google sign-in with organization-level access management. Rich text editing for task descriptions and comments, label-based initiative grouping, priority levels, assignee management, and due date tracking provide focused planning without ceremony. Deploy with the drim CLI for automatic HTTPS and database setup, Docker Compose for custom configurations, or Helm charts for Kubernetes clusters — all requiring just 2GB RAM and PostgreSQL.

End-to-end encrypted by design, CryptPad is a real-time office suite where teams write documents, plan on kanban boards, collect answers with forms, and draw diagrams without the hosting server ever seeing their content. Rich text pages come with comments, replies, @mentions, and a document outline, while the Markdown editor adds a live preview, Mermaid diagrams, mind maps, and math. Kanban columns hold colored, tagged cards with Markdown bodies, and the diagram editor exports PNG, JPG, SVG, or PDF. Optional ONLYOFFICE editors add spreadsheets, word-processing documents, and presentations that several people can edit together. The form builder offers text, choice, grid, date, ranking, and poll questions, conditional sections, and separate author, auditor, and participant roles. Documents can be shared with contacts or teams, by link, or as embed code, with view, edit, present, or view-once access. Passwords, expiry dates, owner lists, and access lists limit who gets in, and every edit lands in a history you can step through, restore, or pin as a named snapshot. CryptDrive keeps files in folders, tags, templates, and a trash bin, while teams get their own drive, chat, and member roles.

Trello's board model on your own server: Planka is an open-source Kanban project management tool. Boards organize into projects with lists, cards, labels, due dates, checklists, file attachments, and per-card stopwatch time tracking, all managed through drag-and-drop. Updates propagate over WebSockets, so a teammate moving a card or adding a comment appears instantly for everyone without a refresh - a genuine differentiator among self-hosted boards. Card descriptions use a full Markdown editor, custom fields adapt cards to your workflow, and views switch between Kanban, grid, and list layouts. Authentication supports OpenID Connect single sign-on with Google, Azure AD, Okta, or any OIDC provider - a feature Trello reserves for enterprise plans - and notifications reach 100+ channels including Slack, Discord, Telegram, and SMTP via Apprise. A REST API with 50+ webhook events supports custom integrations, and one-click board import eases migration. Built with React and Node.js on PostgreSQL, translated into 35+ languages, deployed via Docker.

From the Mattermost team comes Focalboard, an open-source, MIT-licensed project board tool - a self-hosted alternative to Trello, Asana, and Notion databases, written in Go with a React frontend. Every board renders the same card data four ways: Kanban with drag-and-drop columns, a spreadsheet-style table, an image-forward gallery, and a calendar. Cards carry unlimited custom properties - dates, dropdowns, checkboxes, people, URLs - and boards can be grouped, filtered, and sorted by any property combination, with unlimited saved filtered views for quick access. Built-in templates cover the common workflows (meeting agendas, content calendars, project tasks, roadmaps, sprint planning), or you can build fully custom boards from scratch. Collaboration is real: card comments with @mentions, per-board permissions for teams or individuals, file attachments stored on your own infrastructure, and archiving with backup snapshots. Migration tooling imports existing boards from Trello (JSON export), Asana, and Notion, so switching does not mean starting over. It ships in 20+ languages and runs as a lightweight multi-user personal server. Worth knowing before deploying: Mattermost has shifted primary development to the integrated Mattermost Boards plugin, so the standalone edition is community-maintained - stable and functional, but evolving slowly. For teams wanting a free, private Trello without per-user fees, it remains a solid pick.

Why export timesheets from one tool, manage Kanban tasks in a second, and copy billable hours into a third just to send a client invoice when TimeTracker handles the entire agency workflow in one self-hosted platform? Start a persistent server-side timer from any browser or log hours manually using saved templates, bulk entry forms, and automatic idle detection. Project managers organize deliverables across drag-and-drop Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, and threaded task comments while monitoring real-time project budgets and cost burn rates. A built-in CRM tracks client contacts, lead scores, and sales pipeline stages before work even begins. When billing day arrives, you convert unbilled hours, reimbursable receipts, mileage logs, and per diem allowances directly into branded multi-currency invoices without double-billing a single minute. Finance teams can customize PDF invoice layouts, automate recurring billing schedules, and transmit EN 16931 compliant electronic invoices via Peppol or embedded ZUGFeRD/Factur-X XML. Interactive analytics dashboards and scheduled CSV or Excel exports give every stakeholder complete visibility into billable utilization.

Winner of the 2015 Most Valued Agile Tool award and cited as a top project management platform by Opensource.com with over 2,100 GitHub stars on the Docker deployment repository alone, Taiga has served an estimated 20 million users worldwide with over 2 million Docker pulls since its creation in 2014 by Kaleidos. The platform delivers a complete agile project management experience through Scrum boards with backlog prioritization, sprint planning, story point estimation configurable per role, burndown charts at both project and sprint levels, and velocity tracking with a project doom-line indicator. Kanban boards offer customizable workflow columns with swimlanes, WIP limits, zoom controls, and the ability to switch between Scrum and Kanban at any point without losing data. The issue tracker supports custom types, priorities, and severities with the ability to promote issues directly to user stories. Team collaboration features include threaded comments, file attachments, email notifications, mentions, a built-in wiki for project documentation, and a team performance dashboard with the Iocane health metric for tracking team sustainability. The platform integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for version control linking, provides importers for migrating from Trello and Jira, and exposes a REST API for custom integrations. Available in over 20 languages with custom fields, tags, roles, and permissions.

Edict is a multi-agent orchestrator that runs every AI request through a court-style chain: a crown prince agent triages it, a planning department drafts the work, a review department can veto the plan, and specialist ministries execute what survives. Casual chat gets a direct reply, while real commands become kanban tickets whose titles are scrubbed of file paths and metadata. A vetoed plan returns for rework; an approved one is dispatched in parallel to ministries for finance, documentation, engineering, compliance, infrastructure, and HR. Commands arrive through Feishu, Telegram, or Signal channels configured in OpenClaw. The dashboard shows cards by state with heartbeat badges and stop, cancel, and resume controls, plus a department monitor and a memorial archive that turns finished work into five-phase timelines you can copy as Markdown. Nine edict templates add parameter forms and cost estimates, an officials panel ranks agents by merit score while tracking token spend, and per-agent model switching restarts the gateway in about five seconds. Agent thinking, tool calls, and results stream live. A permission matrix limits who may message whom, illegal state jumps are rejected, and every transition lands in an audit log. Worked examples cover competitive analysis, code review, and weekly reports. Dashboard login protects the console, and a systemd unit keeps it running across reboots. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Kandev provides a command center for orchestrating AI coding agents across parallel workstreams. The Go backend paired with a Next.js frontend delivers kanban boards with drag-and-drop columns, pipeline workflow definitions with per-step agent handoffs, and an IDE-like review workspace combining file editor, file tree, terminal, browser preview, and unified git diffs. Multi-provider support connects Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Qoder, Grok, and custom agents through configurable profiles with per-agent prompts, runtimes, and review gates. Tasks execute in isolated git worktrees with multi-repository support, letting agents work on separate branches simultaneously while changes surface in a consolidated review interface. Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Sentry, and Slack pull external issues into the kanban and link tasks to pull requests. Kandev exposes streamable HTTP and SSE MCP endpoints, enabling external clients — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Augment — to create tasks and read workspace context programmatically. Workflow definitions export as portable YAML for sharing across installations. Agentic workflows chain multi-step pipelines mixing different models per step — Opus for architecture, Sonnet for implementation, with human review gates between stages. 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.

A drag-and-drop task board that works fine on its own and can also hand cards to AI coding agents, Veritas Kanban shows what each agent is doing, what it changed, and what is waiting for your approval. Start with no agents at all. Cards move through To Do, In Progress, Blocked, and Done, and each one carries subtasks, dependencies, time tracking, comments, and an activity log. When you are ready, connect Codex, Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Hermes, or OpenClaw, give every agent an Intern, Specialist, or Lead permission level, and follow each agent's status and model on a live dashboard. Let a task run in its own Git worktree, read the diff, leave inline comments, approve or request changes, and open a GitHub pull request from the task panel. Squad Chat gives agents one shared channel that posts spawned, completed, and failed events. Workflows chain steps with parallel branches, loops, and human approval gates. Policy rules allow, deny, or hold agent actions for review. Assistants reach the board through an MCP server, a command-line client, or a REST API. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

A personal to-do list that scales to team project management: Vikunja is an open-source task manager that grows with the work. Every project can be viewed four ways - classic list, drag-and-drop Kanban board, Gantt chart for timeline planning, and a spreadsheet-style table - so a project manager watches the Gantt while developers work the board, on the same data. Tasks carry the full attribute set: labels, priorities, due dates and reminders, recurring schedules, subtasks and task relations, file attachments, assignees, and comments, and Quick Add Magic parses natural-language input like dates and labels typed inline. Projects share with team members or via links, and saved filters slice tasks across projects. Built-in CalDAV support (VTODO) syncs tasks bidirectionally with clients like Thunderbird, DAVx5, and iOS Reminders, and one-click importers migrate from Todoist, Trello, and Microsoft To-Do. Nothing is metered - unlimited projects, tasks, filters, and attachments. A single Go binary with a Vue frontend runs against SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL, exposes a full REST API, and works as an installable PWA on mobile. AGPLv3-licensed.
