What is it?

Windshift is a self-hosted work management platform for teams that want Jira-style planning without Jira's footprint. It covers projects, epics, stories, sub-tasks, sprints and backlogs, boards, roadmaps, custom workflows, custom fields, screens, permissions, automation and dashboards, with a JQL-style query language for filtering and saved views.

Beyond core planning, it includes service management with SLAs and a customer portal, a knowledge base, test management, time tracking and an asset/CMDB register. A built-in importer supports moving projects from Jira.

It runs as a single Go binary with the Svelte frontend built in, using embedded SQLite by default or PostgreSQL for storage. Official Docker images and a desktop app are available, and the interface is offered in nine languages including Simplified Chinese and right-to-left Arabic.
