All-in-one open source project platform
Huly ranks #20 of 24 in Project management, with an Alt Score of 45. It is licensed under EPL-2.0, open source with paid hosting from $19.99/month and available on Web, Windows, macOS and Linux. 7 of 14 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Software teams and product companies who want to replace Linear, Jira, Slack, and Notion with a single self-hostable (or cloud) workspace, including teams that need data control via open-source deployment.
A unified workspace combining issue tracking and project management, a team planner with calendars and time-blocking, real-time chat and virtual meeting rooms, and a collaborative document editor with version history. It includes bidirectional GitHub sync for issues, milestone and roadmap tracking, and customizable workflows. Being open source, it can be self-hosted or used as a managed cloud service.
Teams create a workspace, set up projects and issues (with statuses, priorities, and milestones), then plan and track work through the calendar/planner view while communicating via built-in chat and docs. Issues can sync with GitHub, and progress is monitored through shared dashboards.
