WeKan
Self-hosted kanban board app with swimlanes, Gantt, Scrum views and imports from Trello, Jira and many other tools.
Run your own Trello-style boards with imports from dozens of tools and no database server needed.
WeKan is a free kanban board application under the MIT licence, built to be installed on your own computer or server. It suits teams that want Trello-style boards with data they control, plus agile reports like burndown and cumulative flow.
What it is
WeKan offers boards with swimlanes, lists, cards, checklists and custom fields, plus table, calendar, Gantt and Scrum views. Its rules feature works like IFTTT or Trello Butler. It can import boards from Trello, Jira, Asana, Todoist, GitHub, GitLab and many more, and export to PDF, Excel, CSV and others.
Who it's for
It suits teams that want to leave Trello or Jira boards and host their own data, including large installations. It is not for people who want a hosted service with no admin work: you install and update it yourself via bundle, Docker, Snap or Kubernetes.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- The import list is long (Trello, Jira, Asana, Linear, ClickUp, Notion and others), which makes moving boards over easier.
- The default database is FerretDB with SQLite, so no separate database server is needed.
- It includes agile analytics such as burndown, cumulative flow and cycle time out of the box.
- The README says its largest user runs it with 30k users, so it has been run at size.
Where it falls short
- You run and update it yourself using the bundle, Docker, Snap or Kubernetes; there is no vendor-hosted free tier described in the README.
- The feature set is huge and the README itself reads as a long list, so expect a busier interface than simple Trello clones.
- Using MongoDB has caveats noted in the README, including a Linux kernel range where it refuses to start.
- Many non-core database options (MySQL, MariaDB, SAP HANA) are labelled experimental.
Pricing & license
Free under the MIT licence; the README shows no paid plan for the software. The wekan.fi site menu lists commercial support and a SaaS app, but I did not read their prices, so the only cost I can confirm is running it yourself.
