## What it is
Leantime is an open-source, self-hostable project management system designed for non-project managers, built with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia in mind. It combines kanban boards, gantt charts, milestones, timesheets, wikis, retrospectives, and goal tracking in a PHP/MySQL web application, with an AI assistant and MCP server integration.

## Use cases
- self-host an open source alternative to Jira, Trello, Asana, or ClickUp
- manage projects with kanban, gantt, list, table, and calendar views
- track goals, milestones, and sprints for agile teams
- run retrospectives and idea boards for team collaboration
- find an ADHD-friendly project management tool with reduced cognitive overload
- manage timesheets and project documentation in one place
- connect AI agents to project tasks via an MCP server

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, AGPL project management tool you fully control
- your team includes neurodivergent members who need accessible, low-overhead workflows
- you need strategy features like lean canvas and goal tracking alongside task management
- you want Trello simplicity with Jira-like feature depth

## When to avoid
- you need a native desktop or mobile offline app
- you require a permissive (non-copyleft) license for embedding in proprietary products without licensing arrangements
- you cannot run PHP 8.2+ and MySQL on your infrastructure
- you need deep integrations with an ecosystem beyond what Leantime plugins offer
