Open-source Taskade alternatives

Huly is an open-source platform meant to replace several tools at once, including Linear, Jira, Slack, Notion and Motion. Under the hood the Huly Platform is a framework for developing business applications such as CRM systems, and this repository includes applications for chat, project management, CRM, HR management and applicant tracking, with team and issue management covered too.

There are two important notices. First, the repository is frozen and no longer actively maintained, with development continuing in the Platform-Collective/platform repository. Second, the managed Huly service was shut down since nobody is funding its hosting any more. The remaining option is to self-host Huly or use another hosted provider, and the README points to a backup and restore guide and a community for migration help.

The code is written in TypeScript and licensed under EPL-2.0. Other teams have built products on top of the platform. Anyone interested in Huly today should look at the successor repository for current source code, issues and releases rather than relying on this one.

Vikunja is a task manager that you can host and control yourself. It covers to-do lists and broader project management, and exposes an API so it can be connected to other tools. Its backend is written in Go and the web front end in Vue. The tagline stresses ownership: a task manager whose data and hosting you decide.

The README mentions an optional hosted version for people who want a hassle-free setup for themselves or a team, and a Vikunja Pro tier that adds an admin panel, audit logs and time tracking. The maintainers also note that they use LLM-assisted coding tools in parts of the codebase. The repository has documentation, a roadmap and contribution guidelines.

Vikunja is licensed under AGPL-3.0. The community version is free to self-host, which suits individuals, families and small teams who want an open alternative to hosted to-do and project apps. Support comes from donations, sponsorship and paid hosting or Pro plans.

Focalboard is a multilingual, open-source, self-hosted project management tool that helps individuals and teams define, organize, track and manage work. It positions itself as an alternative to Trello, Notion and Asana, with boards, cards and goal tracking as its building blocks.

The project comes in two editions: a Personal Desktop app, a standalone single-user program for macOS, Windows or Linux for your own to-dos and personal projects, and a server edition for teams. The code is written in TypeScript and Go. Importantly, the README carries a warning that this repository is currently not maintained and invites volunteers to become maintainers. A separate repository holds the Mattermost plugin version of Boards.

The repository license appears as 'Other' on GitHub, reflecting a mix of license terms, so check them before use. Given its maintenance status, evaluate whether it fits long-term needs before adopting it for a team.

Tududi is an open-source system for organizing personal and work tasks in a hierarchy. Tasks belong to projects, projects can be grouped into areas, and notes and tags can be attached across the structure, which suits people who follow a getting-things-done style of planning. It is released under the MIT license.

Tasks can be filtered into views such as Today, Upcoming, and Someday and sorted by name, due date, creation date, or priority. It supports subtasks with progress tracking and a recurring-task system with daily, weekly, and monthly patterns, including monthly on specific weekdays. A Telegram integration lets you capture and manage items from chat, and your data stays under your control when self-hosted.

The application is built with React and Node.js with Express, and you can run it on your own server or buy a hosted subscription from the maintainer for a managed setup. It suits individuals and small teams who want a calm, privacy-minded alternative to hosted to-do and project apps.

TaskTrove is a modern to-do manager that you host yourself. The project stresses privacy: it runs on your infrastructure with no tracking or data collection. Tasks can be created in natural language, for example by typing a phrase like tomorrow at 2pm, and can have unlimited subtasks, priorities, due dates, comments and file attachments. It is aimed at individuals and small groups who want a capable task app without a hosted account.

Recurring tasks can follow daily, weekly, monthly or custom patterns with automatic scheduling. Tasks can be grouped into projects with sections and color-coded labels, and viewed as a list, a kanban board or a calendar. The interface has light and dark themes, is mobile friendly and offers keyboard shortcuts such as a quick-add key and a search key.

Data is stored in JSON files, which makes backups and transfers simple. The recommended installation is Docker, with Docker Compose and manual setup also described. TaskTrove is built with TypeScript and React, and the repository metadata lists the license as Other, so check the license file for terms.
