## What it is
WeKan is an open-source, MIT-licensed collaborative kanban board application built with Meteor, supporting boards, lists, cards, swimlanes, calendar/Gantt views, automation rules, and webhooks. It is self-hostable via Docker, Snap, Kubernetes, Sandstorm, and standalone bundles, with translations into 234 languages.

## Use cases
- self-host a Trello alternative for my team
- manage project tasks on a kanban board
- track personal todo lists with due dates and checklists
- organize team workflows with swimlanes and WIP limits
- automate card moves with rules and outgoing webhooks
- plan sprints with Gantt and calendar views
- migrate attachments from Trello to an open-source board

## When to choose
- you want a fully open-source, self-hosted kanban tool with no vendor lock-in
- you need multi-language support (171+ complete translations)
- you want automation rules, custom fields, and card dependencies out of the box
- you need to run on-premise for privacy or compliance reasons

## When to avoid
- you want a lightweight embedded kanban widget inside your own app rather than a full application
- you need official commercial support without paying for it
- you prefer a SaaS with zero server maintenance
- you rely on MongoDB-specific features, since WeKan is migrating to FerretDB
