About WeKan
WeKan is an open source Kanban board for managing tasks and projects. It is designed with privacy in mind, and its code is public for anyone to read.
What it does
A board holds lists that represent stages of work, such as to do, doing and done. Cards carry a title, description, due date, labels and checklists, and you can comment on them as work moves along. Lists and cards can be customised with colours and custom fields, so the board can capture the information your team actually needs.
Key features
- Organise work into boards, lists and cards
- Drag cards between columns as work moves on
- Add labels, due dates, checklists and comments
- Work with custom fields on lists and cards
- Install it yourself or use the hosted app
Who it's for
Developers and small teams who want a board they can host themselves without a paid tool. People who want to read and audit the code behind their tools may also prefer it.
Pricing and good to know
WeKan is open source under the MIT licence and can be installed on your own server. The project also offers a hosted SaaS app and commercial support. The site lists those as separate options, so check which one suits your team before you start.
