Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Self-hosted project management with tasks, time tracking, analytics
Worklenz provides a self‑hosted solution for project planning, task tracking, collaboration, time logging, and reporting, deployable via Docker or manual setup.

Worklenz is a self‑hosted project management platform aimed at organizations and development teams that require full control over their data and infrastructure. It supports project planning, task breakdown, real‑time collaboration, and detailed reporting, making it suitable for SMEs, consulting firms, and internal IT departments.
The tool combines task management, time tracking, and resource analytics in a single interface built with React and Ant Design. Users can create projects, assign tasks with priorities and due dates, share files, comment, and generate performance reports. Integrated MinIO provides S3‑compatible storage for attachments, while PostgreSQL stores all operational data.
Worklenz can be launched quickly using Docker Compose, which bundles the frontend, backend, database, and MinIO services. For developers preferring granular control, a manual installation guide walks through setting up Node.js, PostgreSQL, and environment variables. Remote server deployment is supported through configurable scripts, allowing HTTPS and custom hostnames. The flexible setup ensures the platform can run on‑premise or in any cloud environment that supports Docker.
When teams consider Worklenz, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
