Overview

Kaneo is a project management tool built on the philosophy of "all you need, nothing you don't." It aims to solve the problem of overly bloated and distracting project management platforms by offering a minimalist yet powerful set of features. The tool provides essential functionalities like Kanban boards and list views for task management, allowing teams to plan, prioritize, and ship their work efficiently.

A core strength of Kaneo is its native GitHub integration, enabling users to import and sync issues directly from their repositories. It emphasizes a privacy-first approach with minimal analytics and no tracking, coupled with granular access controls. For those who value control and data sovereignty, Kaneo is designed for self-hosting with one-click Docker deployments, ensuring backups and freedom from vendor lock-in. It's ideal for teams looking for a streamlined, open-source solution that amplifies natural workflows rather than dictating them.
