Open source task management with Kanban boards, lists, Gantt view, CalDAV sync, and a built-in Trello importer, self-hosted or in the cloud.
German open source to-do and Kanban app, self-hosted or cloud, with Trello import.
Vikunja is a German open source task management app that shows the same project as a list, a Kanban board, a table, or a Gantt timeline. Self-host it on your own server or use the hosted cloud; either way the code is fully auditable and your tasks stay under your control.
Migration is a first-class feature: a built-in Trello importer carries boards, cards, labels, and attachments across in minutes, and importers for other tools exist too. Tasks support subtasks, relations, recurring schedules, reminders, labels, and team sharing, while CalDAV sync puts deadlines into any calendar app.
Key features:
- Four views on one project with list, Kanban, table, and Gantt
- Built-in Trello importer moves boards, cards, and attachments automatically
- Task relations and subtasks model dependencies simple boards cannot
- Recurring tasks and reminders keep routines and deadlines on track
- CalDAV sync connects tasks to your existing calendar
- Self-hosted or EU cloud with open source code under the AGPL
Vikunja is developed and maintained in Germany, with its hosted offering operated under GDPR. Self-hosting on a small VPS or home server takes one Docker command, giving privacy-focused teams complete sovereignty over their task data with no license fees.
Ideal for self-hosters and small teams leaving Trello who want boards plus proper task structure, without adopting a heavyweight project suite.
