In simple English
This tool helps you plan projects, track bugs and manage tasks with your team. It includes boards, lists, timelines and calendars for your work. You can also add artificial intelligence agents as teammates who take on tasks and write code. You host everything on your own server so you control your data. It costs nothing to download, but you need a server or a hosting account to run it.
What it is
It's a Plan is a self-hosted project management tool built as an open-source alternative to Linear and Plane. It combines traditional issue tracking with native artificial intelligence agents that can be assigned tasks and interact through chat.
What it is good for
Solo builders and teams who want a modern task tracker without per-seat cloud fees, and who want to let artificial intelligence agents pick up issues and execute coding tasks automatically.
- No per-seat subscription fees because you host it yourself.
- Includes built-in artificial intelligence agents that can take on assigned tasks.
- Provides modern views like boards, timelines, calendars and custom fields.
- Requires Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) and Bun (a fast toolkit for running JavaScript applications) for local setup.
- Under active development, so expect breaking changes before the first stable release.
- Uses the AGPL-3.0 licence (a legal rule that says if you modify the code and offer it as a service over a network, you must share your modified source code).
