Kaneo

What is Kaneo?

Lightweight project tracker with boards, lists, Gantt and GitHub links that small teams self-host.

Who is Kaneo best for?

Kaneo is best for small software teams who want a simple self-hosted task tracker linked to GitHub or Gitea.

• Small teams that want less process

  Boards, lists, a backlog, calendar and Gantt views cover the basics without feature tiers.

• Code-linked tasks

  GitHub and Gitea integrations and rules move tasks when repository activity changes.

• AI assistants on your tasks

  An MCP server, a REST API and a command-line client let assistants and scripts read and update work.

• Custom notification setups

  Updates arrive in the app, by email, through ntfy or Gotify, or as personal webhooks.
