Instead of Doska

Doska alternatives

Doska is a free, local-first Kanban board for organizing work in Markdown files. Boards stay available offline, while optional folder sync and a self-hosted server extend access across devices. Cards support GitHub-flavored Markdown, task lists, links, deadlines and priorities. Search, row view, sortable fields, folders and undo cover daily board work. Doska also offers guest access, read-only links, OpenID Connect sign-in on self-hosted servers and an MCP endpoint for connected agents.

Alternatives make sense when Doska’s operating model does not fit your team. Shared boards and cross-device sync require Docker-based self-hosting, and attachments require a sync server or S3-compatible storage. The project is in active development, with security support handled by a one-person project. Compare the need for hosted collaboration, richer planning views, automation, time tracking, forms, issue fields or enterprise integrations. Platform coverage and whether your team wants Markdown files, local storage or a more conventional hosted service should also guide the switch.
