What it does
Kaneo is an open-source project management platform with board, list, calendar, and Gantt views, backlog, task dependencies, time tracking, custom workflows, and GitHub integration. It can be self-hosted or used as a managed cloud service.
Run Kaneo on your own server for free or use Kaneo Cloud, which offers a 14-day trial. Its board, list, calendar, Gantt, and backlog views organize work across projects; OAuth/OIDC SSO is included in the self-hosted build. See the official site, pricing, and repository.
Strengths

Best for
