What is it?

Worklenz is a project management application for teams. It covers task management with list, board and Gantt views, resource planning and scheduling to avoid overallocation, time tracking on tasks, and financial tracking of budgets and costs across projects. It also includes a planner with a cross-project timeline view, analytics on project health and team workload, project templates, and CSV import and export.

The project has a React and Ant Design frontend, a TypeScript and Express.js backend, PostgreSQL for data, Redis for caching, and S3-compatible storage. The Docker setup bundles PostgreSQL, Redis and SeaweedFS and includes an nginx reverse proxy with SSL. A manual installation path is documented for development and non-Docker servers.

Client collaboration is supported through a client portal where clients and internal teams share goals, updates and deliverables. The code is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and Worklenz also offers a hosted cloud version.
