Kanboard
"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.
