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.

Your coding agents finish a session, close the laptop, and forget everything; Pad is where the project remembers. It holds the tasks, plans, bugs, ideas, and decisions in one workspace that you drive from a browser while your agents drive it from the terminal, so the next session, human or machine, picks up exactly where the last one stopped. You plan on boards, lists, and tables with drag-and-drop status columns, rich item pages, comment threads, and a dashboard that answers what needs attention and what to do next. Your agents read the queue, claim items, leave checkpoints, link their pull requests, and mark work fixed with the fixing PR attached. Conventions teach them the house rules once, like running tests before calling a task done, and playbooks hand them repeatable multi-step workflows they can invoke by name. Every change is versioned with its author, a person or a named agent, and new items appear in the browser the moment an agent creates them in the terminal. The same workspace is reachable three ways: the web interface, the pad CLI, and a bundled MCP server with a natural-language skill that plugs into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, OpenCode, Copilot, Amazon Q, and Junie. 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.

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.

Operately is an opinionated operating system for growing companies that connects strategic goals directly to execution without the overhead of assembling separate tools. The OKR module tracks company-wide, team-level, and individual goals with measurable success conditions showing progress bars against numeric targets, timeframe deadlines, and automated progress aggregation from linked projects. Project management includes champion ownership, milestone tracking, Kanban task boards with TODO, In Progress, and Done columns, and scheduled check-ins that generate async progress updates on a configurable cadence. Team Spaces give departments organized homes for their goals, projects, documents, and discussions with configurable access controls at the space, goal, and project level. Message boards replace scattered email threads with focused project conversations, while the document and file system provides centralized content management. The Review screen aggregates everything requiring attention or approval into a single actionable view. The Elixir Phoenix backend uses Absinthe for GraphQL queries and mutations, Oban for background job processing, and Swoosh for email notifications. The React TypeScript frontend leverages Apollo Client for GraphQL state management. Full CLI and API access enables programmatic interaction, and MCP tools added in version 1.7 allow AI agents to create goals, update projects, manage tasks, and post check-ins. On RepoCloud, deploy Operately on a dedicated VPS with PostgreSQL persistence, root SSH access, and complete control over your organizational data, all under the Apache 2.0 license.

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.

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.

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. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. TaskView Source-Available License licensed.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

One self-hosted workspace holds your team's chat, tasks, notes, and calendar, and Deft lets AI agents work in it beside your people. People get real-time chat with spaces, direct messages, threads, mentions, reactions, files, and presence. Tasks open as Board, Table, Timeline, or Calendar views, with dependencies, subtasks, recurrence, and bulk actions. Notes, decisions, and channel memory become durable knowledge, with graph views and links back to the source conversation. Native calendar events sit beside read-only ICS subscriptions. Agent employees can join channels and receive task assignments. Tag the built-in assistant Defty to draft a task, answer a workspace question, or take a governed action, then review the proposal in an approval card before anything changes. Personal connections let Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, and other streamable HTTP MCP clients act as the signed-in user within revocable scopes. Approval tiers, trust levels, token scopes, revocation, activity history, and action receipts record who or what acted and what changed. OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and local Ollama-style models are supported providers. Chat, tasks, notes, and calendars keep working with no AI key. Modules add company-specific records, relationships, and views, with a bundled Contacts module as the first example. 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-only licensed.

Scrumboy is a Kanban and sprint management tool that ships as a single Go binary backed by SQLite, deploys in under ten seconds via Docker, and uniquely integrates with AI coding agents through a standards-compliant MCP JSON-RPC endpoint. The dual-mode architecture supports Full mode with bootstrapped authentication, TOTP two-factor auth, OIDC/SSO integration through Keycloak, Authentik, Auth0, or Entra ID, role-based access control across Owner, Admin, User system tiers plus per-project Maintainer, Contributor, and Viewer roles, and Anonymous mode that generates instant shareable boards accessible via unique URLs with zero signup requirement. Custom workflows allow user-defined lane configurations per project including designated "Done" lanes, while sprints with configurable one or two-week cycles include board-level sprint filtering and the ability to disable and re-enable sprint tracking without losing history. Real-time Server-Sent Events power instant multi-user board updates, and outbound webhooks deliver JSON payloads to registered URLs when domain events fire with HMAC signature verification. The MCP endpoint at /mcp/rpc enables native integration with Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI agents through OAuth 2.1 with PKCE authorization, while API access tokens support CLI automation and CI/CD pipelines. Additional capabilities include VoiceFlow voice commands, per-project sticky-note walls, Markdown and Mermaid diagram support in task notes, append-only audit trails, VAPID Web Push notifications, SMTP password reset, Trello import, JSON backup with merge/replace/copy strategies, and 22-language internationalization. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3.0 licensed.

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.

PandaDOS is a self-hosted control plane that turns Claude Code and Codex into long-running coding agents you direct through an issue queue from any browser, instead of babysitting a terminal. You file an issue with the outcome and acceptance criteria, and PandaDOS clarifies missing requirements, plans the work, picks the agent, and drives implementation, verification, and delivery in stages. Three approval levels, cautious, balanced, and automatic, decide which actions proceed alone; safe reversible steps continue automatically while destructive, irreversible, production, or secret-related decisions always come back to you. The browser workspace shows the real agent conversation, a native terminal, project files, Git history and diffs, and an execution summary, so you can inspect or intervene at any moment from a phone or laptop. Agents run on local or SSH-connected executor machines inside tmux sessions, and work sharing one repository is serialized while independent projects proceed in parallel without conflicting edits. Modules keep one assigned agent and durable project knowledge, so context from finished issues carries into the next task instead of evaporating when a chat ends. Teams can sign in through Feishu, ask the project manager questions in chat, and receive subscription notifications and approval cards on their phones. 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.

Autonomous AI coding agents work side-by-side with software engineers inside Its a Plan, a keyboard-driven project tracking and sprint planning workspace designed for rapid software delivery. Product teams organize development cycles through customizable Kanban boards, prioritized backlogs, nested sub-issues, and interactive roadmap timelines designed for rapid keyboard navigation. Engineers can assign work directly to AI agents or mention them inside discussion threads to trigger automated code fixes, documentation updates, and test suite generation. Integrated runners connect to popular coding models via standard protocol interfaces, executing assigned tasks in isolated environments before reporting pull requests and results back to the issue thread. Administrators manage team permissions through role-based access controls, authenticate users with passwordless passkeys or identity providers, and broadcast instant notifications via Telegram and transactional email. The platform dispatches configurable webhooks across development tools, enabling seamless bi-directional status synchronization with external version control platforms and continuous integration pipelines. Custom labels, milestone estimates, and progress metrics provide engineering managers with immediate visibility into sprint velocity and delivery bottlenecks. 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.

Where AI agents and people share one real-time workspace, an agent blocked on your decision never waits unnoticed until morning, and that workspace is AgentRQ, a human-in-the-loop task manager for agent fleets. In that workspace agents pull assigned tasks over MCP, report progress as they work, ask questions in the open, and pause visibly instead of going dark. Cards travel from Not Started to Ongoing to Blocked to Done on a list or Kanban board, and a Blocked card returns to work the second you answer from any device. Sensitive tool calls wait for an Allow click; flip YOLO on a task and they proceed automatically, still recorded call by call in a searchable trajectory. A timeline under every task totals how long the agent worked, waited, or stayed blocked. Scheduling spawns tasks on a cadence, completed tasks fire named events, and events hand new tasks to subscribed workspaces, chaining a release pipeline without glue code. Each project lives in an isolated workspace with its own agent, memory, skills, and Slack channel, and workspace memory carries yesterday's lessons into today's session. Voice-dictated tasks transcribe on device, 55 ACP-compatible agents connect through one gateway, and agents running on your own machines expose their terminals and resource use remotely. 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.
