Leantime

What Leantime is

Leantime is project management software for people who may not work as project managers, with a product design focus that includes ADHD and neurodivergence. It connects project goals and milestones to actionable tasks, which can be viewed in Kanban, table, or list formats. The Work Dashboard brings tasks from different projects together and includes time blocking and personal notes. Listed AI tools can break tasks into smaller parts, personalize project descriptions, and generate status reports.

Leantime is offered as a cloud-hosted service and as a self-hosted application. Its open-source Community Edition is licensed under AGPLv3 and community-supported; advanced features are available as plugins. Leantime Pro includes unlimited to-dos and projects and 500 AI credits per month. The monthly subscription is $10 a month, while the yearly subscription is listed at $8 a year; both include a 14-day free trial. Integrations listed include Slack, Discord, Mattermost, ICS calendar export, and embeddable integrations. Leantime Mobile is in beta for iPhone and Android for daily tasks, notes, and time tracking, while full project administration remains on the web. For self-hosted accounts, using the mobile app requires the paid AdvancedAuth plugin.

Who it suits

Leantime suits individuals or teams looking to connect project goals with tasks, and who may value its stated design focus on ADHD and neurodivergence. It can fit people who want either a cloud-hosted service or a self-hosted, AGPLv3 community edition.

Limits

The free Community Edition is self-hosted and community-supported, with advanced features available as plugins. Leantime Pro includes 500 AI credits per month; its plans include unlimited to-dos and projects.

Getting started

1. Visit https://leantime.io/.
2. Choose the cloud-hosted service or the self-hosted Community Edition.
3. For self-hosting, provide PHP 8.2+, Apache with mod_rewrite or Nginx (IIS with adjustments), and MySQL 5.7+.
4. Choose Leantime Pro monthly at $10 a month or yearly at $8 a year; both offer a 14-day free trial.

Verdict

Choose Leantime if you want project planning that links goals, milestones, and tasks, with several task views and a personal work dashboard. The free Community Edition is an option for self-hosting, while Pro adds listed paid-plan features and a 14-day trial. Look elsewhere if you need full project administration in the mobile app or do not want to manage self-hosting requirements.
