Plane

Plane is an open-source alternative to Jira and Monday built on a modern TypeScript stack. The platform includes native Kanban boards, sprint cycles, modules for organizing work by feature or component, and a polished interface that doesn't feel like enterprise software. You can run it on your own infrastructure or use their hosted version.

Plane works well for engineering teams and product groups that want the power of Jira without the complexity or monthly bills. It suits teams already comfortable with GitHub and self-hosting, though the hosted cloud option removes that friction for non-technical users.
