Plane: open-source project management you can host yourself
An alternative to Jira, Linear and ClickUp that you can run on your own server.
Plane is a project management tool for tasks, sprints, documents and triage. It positions itself as an open-source alternative to Jira, Linear, Monday and ClickUp.
Why it matters
Most small teams pay for features they never use. A tool you can host yourself puts the data and the cost in your hands.
The facts
- Project: makeplane/plane on GitHub
- Stars: over 62,000 (as of 7 November 2026)
- Main language: TypeScript
- It is released under the AGPL-3.0 licence.
- Website: http://plane.so
Before you install it
Its licence is AGPL, which asks you to share your changes if you offer a modified version to others as a service. That is fine for internal use, but read it before you build on top of it.
I read the project page and its description to write this. I have not audited the code, so treat it as a pointer, not a recommendation to trust it with anything sensitive.
