Planix
Boards, backlog and hours for teams that build and fix things, on your own . Finish before you start.
Board, backlog, hours, dependencies. One place per project.
Planix keeps the work of a project on one board. Drag a card from left to right as it moves along. Keep the ideas for later in the backlog. Log the hours on the task you did them for. See what is stuck, and why, without a status meeting.
A column holds five cards. The sixth waits.
Today everyone starts everything and nothing gets finished. Instead, you give a column a limit. When "In progress" already holds five cards, the column turns red and the sixth one waits. The team finishes before it starts, and you see the bottleneck on the board instead of hearing about it in a meeting. The limit is a warning, not a wall: a card can still be dragged over it when it has to.
Ideas go in the backlog, not in someone's head.
A client asks for something during a call. Today it lives in the memory of whoever picked up the phone. Instead, it goes in the backlog with a priority and a due date. Sort by what matters most, and drag it onto the board the day the team has room. Nothing gets lost between "good idea" and "on the board".
The hours on the task are the hours per project at month end.
Give a task an estimate, log the hours you spent on it, and your timesheet groups them by day and week. At month end the hours per project are already there, no reconstruction from memory or chat history. Estimate against actual shows you where the plan was optimistic.
A task that waits on another wears a badge. Nobody starts the roof before the walls.
Mark a task as blocked by another. The card shows a "Blocked" badge until the other one is done, on the board and in the list, so nobody picks it up too early. Planix refuses a loop where two tasks wait on each other, so the badge always tells the truth.
Due tomorrow shows up before it is due yesterday.
Every card carries its due date as a badge that changes colour as the day comes closer. The person the task is assigned to gets a Nextcloud notification ahead of the deadline, with a lead time you set. Across all projects, the timeline view shows what runs when.
It works the way you work. And it works for you.
Four things you would normally pay extra for. In Planix they are built in.
A card reaches "Done". The rest happens by itself.
Today: a task is finished and someone remembers to tell the client, update the sheet and start the next one. Instead, set it up once. The moment a card moves to "Done", the task that was waiting on it loses its badge and lands on the next person's list. A card that sits in "Review" for more than three days puts a nudge on the lead's desk. Every Friday, a list of tasks with no hours logged. Nothing forgotten, no chasing, no coding.
How automation worksYour columns, your labels, your limits.
A support team wants "Waiting for client" as a column. A build team wants "Testing" between "Doing" and "Done". A studio wants a label per client. Add the column, set its limit, add the label, and give each project its own colour. In the running app, in minutes, and your changes stay with every update. A board that fits how your team really works, not one you bend the team around.
How customising worksAsk what is stuck. Get the list, not a meeting.
Ask "what is overdue on the website project?" and you get the cards, with who holds them. Ask "how many hours went into the app this month?" and the number is there. The assistant reads the same tasks and hours you are allowed to see, and asks before it changes anything. Moving cards and logging hours stay with you.
Meet the assistantYour client follows the project without calling you.
The client who asked for the website does not need a seat in your Nextcloud. Through Portaliq they log in to their own portal and see their projects and how far along each one is, the tasks that wait on them, and the hours already spent against the estimate. The contractor you hired logs hours on their own tasks from the same portal. Fewer "how is it going?" calls, and the answer is always today's board, not last week's mail.

Open Planix and your dashboard shows your open and overdue tasks, the projects you touched last, and what is due this week. Click a number and you are on the list. Design your own widgets with OpenBuild, or build your own dashboard from all your data with LaunchPad.
Notifications, activity and the people outside. Already yours.
The board lives where your team already reads its notifications and its activity feed. That is the point of a workspace.
A task is due in two days. The person it is assigned to sees it in the same Nextcloud notifications where they see a shared file or a chat mention. You set the lead time, they can switch it off. Every change on a task shows up in the Activity feed, so "who moved this card?" has an answer.
