Focalboard

Focalboard is an open-source, self-hosted workspace that sits somewhere between Trello and Notion. You get Kanban boards for workflow stages, database tables for structured data, and timeline views to see when work lands. Everything can be deployed on your own server, giving you privacy and full control over your data without monthly subscription costs.

It's built for teams who want flexibility without complexity, and organizations that prioritize data sovereignty or need to integrate with existing infrastructure. Smaller teams and startups benefit from the low cost and the ability to start simple and grow features as you need them.
