What Leantime actually does
Leantime is a self-hosted project management tool designed to take initiatives from the initial idea phase through to final delivery. It provides a structured workspace tailored for small teams and startups to plan tasks, track progress, and organise workflows.
Best fit: Small teams and startups looking for a dedicated, open-source project management system to coordinate tasks from conception to execution.
Worth knowing: The AGPL-3.0 licence places strong copyleft obligations on network services, which may restrict how you modify and redistribute the code within your organisation.
Deployment notes
As a PHP application, deployment typically involves setting up a container with a web server, a persistent database backend, and a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
