Kan

    Manage projects on an open-source kanban with self-hosting, board imports, and team access controls

    One-time payment. Lifetime deal.

    Using a closed-source project management tool means you're renting access to your own data. ("So much for calling it My Workspace.")

    The moment you stop paying, you lose access to every project, card, and conversation your team ever had.

    If only there was a kanban tool that let you own your boards, control access, and actually migrate your info where you need it.

    Introducing Kan.
