Kaneo

Project management that doesn't become the project

About Kaneo

Kaneo is a project management platform designed to stay out of the way. Teams plan work on boards, lists, and backlogs, visualize timelines with Gantt and calendar views, break work into subtasks, and sync issues and pull requests with GitHub in both directions. The open-source code can be self-hosted, while Kaneo Cloud handles hosting, backups, and updates for teams that prefer managed service.
