What is Leantime?

Leantime is a free, open-source project management system built for people who are not project managers, with ADHD, dyslexia and autism in mind. Plan tasks on Kanban, Gantt, list and calendar views, link work to goals, log time on timesheets, and keep docs, idea boards and retrospectives in one place.

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 Leantime does well

  • Goals, plans and tasks in one tool
  • Designed with neurodivergent users in mind
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Self-hosting needs PHP and MySQL
  • Hosted plans and some marketplace plugins are paid

Who Leantime is for

Small teams and agencies that want Jira-level features without Jira-level complexity.

Who can skip it

Solo users who only need a simple to-do list.
