What YouGile is
YouGile is an agile project management tool organized around boards and task chats. Boards arrange tasks in columns, and a task’s chat lets participants discuss its work; users can pin a chat message in the header. Task notes can also be shared with people working on other boards. For managing work, tasks support subtasks, countdown timers, stopwatches, and flexible deadline reminders by phone or email. A built-in code editor supports custom JavaScript scripts using 300 available methods and objects.
YouGile is available as a cloud service and as a self-hosted version. The self-hosted edition stores data on the customer’s server and can run on a local network without internet access. Its boxed version gives customers control over encryption, with HTTPS as an option, and can integrate with Active Directory. YouGile also offers a Telegram extension for task creation and notifications about assignments, task movement, and expired deadlines. Its REST API manages projects, users, boards, columns, tasks, chats, and webhooks, with a limit of 50 requests per minute per company. The free cloud plan covers up to 10 users and includes all functions without restrictions. Paid options add cloud features or self-hosting.
