Hivekan

Hivekan is a self-hosted kanban board and project management application for teams. You install it on your own server; there is no cloud service and no account to create with us, and your data never leaves your infrastructure.

It runs on ordinary PHP 8 hosting with SQLite. No Docker, no Node.js, no separate database server: copy the folder, make one directory writable, open the page in a browser. That makes it usable on the kind of inexpensive shared hosting where most self-hosted kanban tools simply cannot run.

Boards have drag-and-drop columns and cards. A card carries a rich-text description, a due date, assignees, tags, file attachments and comments, with @mentions that notify the person concerned. Each board also has its own file explorer, with previews for Markdown, HTML, office documents and spreadsheets, and optional Git versioning with history and diffs. Add to that a knowledge base of articles, a per-board activity log, email notifications you subscribe to board by board, and fine-grained roles and permissions set per board. The interface is available in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian, with a dark theme.

Licensing: a one-off payment of EUR 590 excluding VAT buys a perpetual licence for unlimited users, with the full source code. It is source-available under PolyForm Internal Use: you may read, audit and modify the code for your own internal use, but not redistribute or resell it. This is not open-source software. It is sold to businesses only.

A complete public demo runs at https://demo.hivekan.com, where a private instance with sample data is created for you, with no sign-up.
