Focalboard is an open source, self-hosted project management tool with kanban boards, available as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux or a multi-user personal server. It serves as an alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana for organizing and tracking work.

Use cases

  • self-host a trello alternative
  • manage personal todos with a kanban board
  • track team projects without a cloud subscription
  • replace notion for task boards
  • run a lightweight asana alternative on my own server
  • organize work across individuals and teams

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted kanban/project board instead of Trello, Notion, or Asana
  • you need a simple desktop app for personal todos on macOS, Windows, or Linux
  • you prefer open source project management you control

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software - the repo is explicitly unmaintained and seeking new maintainers
  • you want the Mattermost-integrated boards plugin, which lives in a separate repository
  • you need advanced features comparable to current Notion or Asana releases
