What is Huly?

Huly is a free, open-source all-in-one platform for teams that brings issue tracking, project planning, chat, documents, calendars and video meetings into one app. It is positioned as an alternative to Linear, Jira, Slack and Notion, and you can self-host it to keep your data in-house.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Huly does well

  • Replaces several team tools at once
  • Self-hostable
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Self-hosting is fairly heavy
  • Many features to learn at first

Who Huly is for

Who can skip it

Solo users who only need a simple task list.
