Kaneo is an open-source, self-hosted project management application with kanban boards, list views, labels, priorities, and GitHub/Gitea issue sync. It is built with a Hono/TypeScript API, a React/Tailwind frontend, and PostgreSQL, deployable via Docker Compose.
Use cases
- self-host a jira or linear alternative
- manage team tasks on a kanban board
- track issues and sync them with github
- host project management on my own servers
- simple lightweight task tracker for a small team
- replace bloated project management tools
- organize backlog and sprints with labels and priorities
When to choose
- you want full data ownership with a permissive MIT license and free self-hosting
- you prefer a minimal, fast tool over feature-heavy platforms like Jira
- you need GitHub or Gitea issue syncing with webhooks to Slack/Discord
- you want Docker-based deployment with SSO included even in the free tier
When to avoid
- you need advanced enterprise features like detailed reporting, resource management, or extensive integrations
- you prefer a fully managed solution without any hosting (though Kaneo Cloud exists, it is paid)
- you require mature ecosystem plugins or a long track record at enterprise scale
