What is Vikunja?

Vikunja is an open-source task and project manager with four views: list, Kanban, Gantt and table. It is licensed under the AGPLv3, completely free to self-host, and has built-in migration from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To Do. A paid hosted version, Vikunja Cloud, is available if you do not want to run it yourself.

Pros: what Vikunja does well

  • List, Kanban, Gantt and table views
  • Imports from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To Do

Cons: where it falls short

  • Hosted Vikunja Cloud is paid
  • Self-hosting needs some technical setup

Who can skip it
