About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Leantime is an open-source project manager aimed at people who are not dedicated project managers, connecting goals and strategy with planning and daily execution. It includes kanban, Gantt, table, list, calendar, dashboards, documents, idea boards, and timesheets and can be self-hosted with the official Docker image. The latest release checked is v3.9.8.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Connect goals and strategy to milestones and day-to-day tasks

Goals and metrics can be linked to planning, status updates, milestones, and To-Dos, helping teams retain the reason behind work rather than managing cards in isolation.

View work as kanban, Gantt, tables, or calendars and keep docs and time alongside it

Tasks can be viewed through kanban, Gantt, table, list, and calendar interfaces. The README also lists wikis/docs, idea boards, comments, and timesheets as included in the OSS version.

Sources: [2]

For teams that want goals, planning, and execution together rather than only a task board

It fits organizations looking for more planning depth than a Trello-style board without centering the entire workflow on software-development issue tracking. The project also states design goals that consider ADHD, dyslexia, and autism.

Plan MySQL persistence and upgrades, and review AGPL plus plugin exceptions

Docker deployments need persistent MySQL volumes and backups before upgrades. Official support is described for the latest version and official Docker Compose or standard installations. Leantime core is AGPLv3, while plugins under /app/Plugins may use other licenses including Enterprise terms. Release v3.9.8 also updates MCP endpoint behavior, so API/MCP authentication and permissions should be reviewed when enabled.

Supplemental curator note

Leantime goes beyond Trello-style tasks by connecting strategy and goals to day-to-day execution. Its accessibility-oriented design goals are worth evaluating in the actual workflow rather than assuming one interface fits every team.
