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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
