Open Source Task Management Software

Task Management software organizes individual to-do lists, project roadmaps, and development cycles. These tools use kanban boards, Gantt charts, and issue trackers to visualize work progress and manage agile workflows. This type of software serves developers and project managers who need to coordinate team assignments without relying on external cloud services. By hosting these apps on a private server, you keep project timelines, internal issue logs, and team productivity metrics within a private infrastructure. This approach ensures that sensitive product roadmaps remain internal.

This page lists 22 open source tools in the Task Management category. The most popular are Plane, Wekan and OpenProject. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or MIT license, and 21 offer an official Docker image.
