WeKan

WeKan is an open-source kanban application that started in 2014 as LibreBoard. Teams install it on their own servers using Docker, Snap, Kubernetes, Sandstorm, Cloudron or a Windows, Mac and Linux bundle. Boards hold swimlanes and lists, and cards carry descriptions, checklists, due dates, labels, members, attachments, comments and custom fields. WIP limits are supported. Beyond the board, the repository lists table, calendar, multi-board calendar, timeline and Gantt views. Rules work in the style of Trello Butler and include workflow and blocks editors. Admins can set up global webhooks and a REST API. Sign-in options include LDAP, SAML, OAuth2 and passwordless login, and permissions can be set per board or per user. Attachments can be stored in MongoDB GridFS, the filesystem, S3 or MinIO, Azure Blob or Google Cloud. WeKan can also import from Trello. The software is free under the MIT license with no paid tiers, user limits or feature gates. Paid commercial support is available from the maintainer, but no prices are published. WeKan suits IT-led organisations, public bodies and privacy-minded teams that can run their own servers. Its main drawback is the user experience: reviewers describe a dated, sometimes glitchy interface, a weak mobile browser layout, no native mobile apps and setup that is hard for anyone without server experience. Development depends heavily on one maintainer.
