What is it?

PLANKA is a self-hosted Kanban project tracker where teams organize work into projects, boards, lists and cards. Cards support drag-and-drop, Markdown descriptions, attachments, comments, custom fields, due dates and a stopwatch, and changes sync instantly across all users without a page refresh.

The Community edition is free to self-host and includes notifications through 100+ providers, webhooks, a documented REST API and two-factor authentication. Your data stays in your own database. The interface is translatable.

A paid PLANKA Pro tier adds features such as mobile apps, calendar, timeline and map views, templates, guest roles, OIDC SSO and PDF export. Upgrading from Community is one-way.
