Plane

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknown

Issue tracking and planning without per-seat pricing

Plane covers the ground between a lightweight tracker and a full project suite: issues, cycles, modules, and roadmaps, with views that suit both engineers and the people asking them for dates.

It is self-hostable and does not gate core planning behind a paid tier, which is unusual in this category.

Decisive facts

Issues, cycles, and modules with dependency tracking
List, kanban, calendar, spreadsheet, and Gantt views
Custom workflows and issue properties
Pages for specifications linked to the work they describe
Self-hostable with Docker
