With over 37,800 GitHub stars and active development since its first release in 2008, ERPNext is the most-starred open-source ERP system — delivering accounting, inventory management, manufacturing, CRM, project tracking, asset management, HR, and point-of-sale capabilities through a unified web interface built on the Frappe Framework's metadata-driven architecture. The accounting module handles multi-company consolidation, multi-currency transactions, tax templates for GST and VAT, bank reconciliation, and automated journal entries with real-time profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting. Manufacturing covers production planning with multi-level bill of materials, work order scheduling, capacity planning, subcontracting, and quality inspection at each production stage. Inventory tracks stock across multiple warehouses with batch and serial number tracing, automatic reorder levels, landed cost calculations, and perpetual inventory valuation using FIFO or moving average methods. The CRM module manages leads, opportunities, and customer communication with email integration, while project management tracks tasks, timesheets, and Gantt-based scheduling with budget controls. Custom applications extend functionality through the Frappe ecosystem without forking the core codebase, and the REST API enables integration with payment gateways, shipping providers, and third-party services. Deployable via Docker Compose or the bench CLI tool with MariaDB and Redis. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Tududi is a self-hosted planner that turns a pile of tasks into a plan for the day, keeping projects, notes, goals, and habits on a server you control. One Add box files an Inbox item, Task, Note, or Project and understands natural-language dates, recurrence, tags, projects, and people, so "every first monday #home" becomes a recurring task without opening a form. The Today page switches between planning mode, with a timeline or list beside your calendar and optional AI help to sketch the day, and doing mode, with a Next card and a hint when a free slot fits a small task. Tasks have subtasks and live in projects and areas, projects link to season or year goals, and saved views, project templates, and optional Eisenhower and Kanban boards organize the work. Habits support build or quit goals with streaks, a strength score, and a history grid, while notes offer linked pages, backlinks, and mermaid diagrams. Households and teams share projects with read-only or read-write access, assign tasks to people, and follow an Everyone board; members without email sign in through one-time links. Telegram captures tasks and can send daily summaries, CalDAV syncs with reminder apps, OIDC handles single sign-on, and an MCP server lets Claude or Cursor manage tasks. AI stays off until you enable it and add a provider; local models work too. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

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.

From a freelancer logging billable hours to companies with hundreds of users, Kimai scales professional-grade open-source time tracking - a Symfony/PHP application without the per-seat pricing of Harvest or Toggl. Tracking is flexible by design: run multiple concurrent timers, use punch-in/punch-out mode, or enter times manually, organized by customer, project, and activity with tags, and priced by user-, customer-, or project-specific rates. The billing pipeline is where Kimai earns "professional grade": generate invoices directly from timesheet data with configurable templates (DOCX, ODS, XLSX, PDF), entry grouping, and invoice-number generators, while an export flag locks billed records against editing and excludes them from future invoices - the audit-safety detail spreadsheet workflows never get right. E-invoicing supports EN 16931, XRechnung 3.0, and Zugferd/Factur-X. Enterprise controls come standard: SAML and LDAP login against Google Workspace, Azure AD, or Authentik, TOTP two-factor auth, customizable role permissions, and teams that scope customers and projects to departments. Money and time budgets alert before overruns, advanced reporting slices recorded time by any dimension, and an extensive JSON API plus a plugin marketplace (expenses, approvals, and more) integrate it with existing infrastructure. Over 30 translations, multi-timezone, AGPL-licensed.

Reaching 45,000 GitHub stars within seven months of launch, Multica is the fastest-growing open-source platform for managing AI coding agents as first-class teammates — assign an issue to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kimi, or any of 21 supported agent CLIs and it picks up the work, comments progress in real time via WebSocket, raises blockers, and hands the result back for human review before anything merges. The Go backend (Chi router, sqlc-generated type-safe queries, gorilla/websocket) connects to PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector for semantic search across workspace history, while the Next.js 16 App Router frontend delivers workspace dashboards showing per-agent token spend, execution time, daily cost charts, and runtime status across unlimited connected machines. Agent Skills provide reusable methods, reference material, and supporting files that compound across runs — a persistent knowledge layer that makes each subsequent task faster and more accurate. Squads let a leader agent select the right specialist for subtasks, creating multi-agent workflows without manual orchestration. Review gates ensure no AI-generated code ships to main without explicit human approval. Self-host via Docker Compose or Kubernetes with full Git integration across GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and Forgejo including self-hosted instances. The CLI and REST API make every surface scriptable, and Autopilot automations trigger agent runs from events. 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 with additional conditions.

Open a project in DooTask and your tasks appear as a Kanban board, a list, a Gantt timeline, or a calendar, with team chat and file sharing beside them. Start from a project or task template and set a task to repeat so each new occurrence links back to the original. Mention colleagues in project and task chats, add emoji, and keep messages protected with asymmetric encryption. Files from chats and tasks gather in a Collaboration Files section, and WebDAV lets you manage My Files and Shared Files from Finder or Explorer. Check the dashboard for what is overdue, due today, or coming up, while department heads switch to a team view charting overdue and incomplete tasks per member. Visit the App Store to install official apps for approvals, OKRs, AI assistants, OnlyOffice, Minder mind maps, and Drawio diagrams. Administrators can add custom apps from an archive, a URL, or a GitHub repository. Add an API key for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or Grok, or point to Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible URL, then type @AI Robot in a project chat to draft tasks. Log in on the web by scanning a QR code with the mobile app, or use an LDAP or Active Directory username. The free Open Source Edition covers three users; paid editions raise that to ten or unlimited. 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.

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.

Worklenz delivers an all-in-one project management platform purpose-built for teams that bill clients for their time and expertise. The task management system supports list, Kanban board, and timeline Gantt views with priorities, due dates, assignees, labels, and subtasks. Built-in time tracking offers both start-stop timers and manual entry, logging billable hours directly against tasks and automatically aggregating time data into project-level cost reports. The resource management module provides a visual team utilization dashboard showing capacity allocation across all active projects, helping managers avoid overallocation and balance workloads. Client portals give external stakeholders direct visibility into project progress, task status, and deliverables without requiring internal account access. Financial insights track budgets versus actuals, showing project profitability, cost breakdowns, and burn rate in real time. The analytics engine generates reports on project health, team workload distribution, task completion trends, and time allocation patterns. Project templates enable one-click setup of common agency workflows with pre-configured task structures, milestones, and assignments. The React frontend uses Ant Design components with TypeScript, while the Express.js backend connects to PostgreSQL for data and Redis for caching. Docker Compose deployment includes Nginx reverse proxy with SSL/TLS support, automated database backups, health checks on all services, network isolation, and MinIO for object storage. On RepoCloud, deploy Worklenz on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access, persistent PostgreSQL storage for your project data, and complete control over client portal access and team configurations, all under the AGPL-3.0 license.

Solidtime is a time tracker for freelancers and agencies, offering a modern SaaS-quality interface that rivals commercial tools like Toggl and Clockify. The time tracking interface provides a running timer, calendar view, and weekly timesheet for flexible entry across desktop, mobile, and the dedicated macOS, Windows, and Linux desktop applications. Project management organizes work by client with hierarchical billable rates configurable at organization, member, project, and project-member levels, ensuring accurate billing across complex team structures. The invoicing module generates polished PDF invoices and structured EU e-invoices with configurable VAT rates, percentage and fixed discounts, EU reverse-charge handling, reusable company templates, and automatic line item generation from billable time entries. Reporting provides filterable summaries by user, project, client, and date range with exportable data for billing audits and team retrospectives. Multi-organization support manages separate workspaces from a single account with role-based permissions controlling access across organizations. Data import from Toggl, Clockify, and generic Timeentry CSV files enables migration from existing tools without losing historical records. The RESTful API with bearer token authentication enables automation and integration with external services. Docker deployment with PostgreSQL runs behind Nginx or Traefik reverse proxy. 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.

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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Powering distributed teams seeking full visibility into work patterns and productivity, Ever Teams is an open-source platform unifying time tracking, task management, project coordination, and team collaboration in a single self-hosted application. The real-time timer tracks work against tasks and projects with one-click start/stop, while the Electron desktop app captures periodic screenshots at configurable intervals, monitors keyboard and mouse activity levels, detects idle periods, and syncs offline sessions automatically. Kanban boards with drag-and-drop, calendar views, and daily planning tools organize work across custom statuses, priorities, and sizes. Built-in video conferencing powered by Jitsi or LiveKit enables meetings without leaving the platform. Timesheet management supports submission, review, and approval workflows with configurable time limits and budgets. The backend runs on the Ever Gauzy NestJS platform providing REST and GraphQL APIs, multi-tenant architecture with organization and team scoping, role-based access control, and an integration framework connecting GitHub issues and pull requests bidirectionally plus JIRA import and sync.

Nearly two decades running engineering organizations: Redmine is the veteran open-source project management and issue tracker, a Ruby on Rails application (GPLv2) still in active development. Its core strength is configurability: define your own trackers (bug, feature, task, or anything else), issue statuses, and role-based workflows that control exactly which transitions each role may perform, then extend records with custom fields of every type. Issues support subtasks, relations (blocks, precedes, duplicates), watchers, categories, and full journaled history, with saved custom queries and cross-project filtering for slicing the backlog any way you need. Around the tracker sit Gantt charts and calendars, a roadmap driven by versions, per-project wikis, forums, news, and document repositories, plus time tracking with estimated versus spent hours and activity-based reporting. Multi-project support runs deep - subprojects, per-project modules, and granular role-based permissions - and repository integration (Git, Subversion, Mercurial) links commits to issues automatically. Email notifications, inbound email-to-issue creation, LDAP authentication, a REST API, and a large plugin and theme ecosystem round it out. Recent 6.x releases brought substantial query and rendering optimizations. Self-hosting keeps your entire project history in your own database, free of per-seat licensing.

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. 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.

With over 75,000 GitHub stars and native apps across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, AppFlowy is the most widely adopted open-source alternative to Notion — delivering the same block-based workspace model with full data sovereignty. The Flutter frontend renders natively on every platform while a Rust backend powered by Actix-web and Tokio handles CRDT-based real-time collaboration, ensuring sub-second sync across devices with conflict-free concurrent editing. Relational databases support grid, board, kanban, calendar, and gallery views over the same dataset, with two-way relations, rollups, advanced filters, sorts, and formula calculations that cover the majority of Notion's database workflows. The block editor supports 40+ content types including nested pages, toggles, callouts, code blocks with syntax highlighting, embeds, and slash-command insertion. AI integration connects to OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models via Ollama for writing assistance, summarization, and translation — all without sending data off-premises when using on-prem LLMs. Team spaces with workspace-level and per-page permissions, OAuth and SSO authentication through GoTrue, and S3-compatible object storage via MinIO provide enterprise-grade access control and file management. The self-hosted stack deploys through Docker Compose with PostgreSQL for metadata, Redis for caching and pub/sub, and a dedicated background worker for imports and email notifications. Offline-first architecture ensures the desktop app functions without connectivity, syncing changes when the connection resumes. 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.
