What Wekan is

WeKan is a free, open-source Kanban task management tool for arranging work on boards. Boards divide work into lists, and cards can hold descriptions, due dates, labels, files, checklists, and comments. You can view boards as swimlanes, lists, tables, calendars, Gantt charts, or stats. Automation options include rules, board buttons, and outgoing webhooks. WeKan can import boards from Trello, Jira, and Kanboard, and supports LDAP, CAS, and OIDC/OAuth2 sign-in. It also provides a REST API and Python client. Boards can be private or public, with nine per-board roles and organization or team membership controls. WeKan is available on web, Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and can be self-hosted using Docker, Snap, Sandstorm, Kubernetes, or source installation. The free app costs nothing and has no Admin Panel. Official SaaS with an Admin Panel costs €50 a year. The maker recommends daily backups; deleted lists and cards cannot be undone.
