Overview

PLANKA is a real-time kanban board for teams with a clean, modern interface heavily inspired by Trello. It supports boards, lists, cards, labels, due dates, attachments, and real-time collaboration via WebSockets. It is lightweight and easy to deploy with Docker.

Where it falls short of Trello

  • Newer versions moved to a fair-use license with Pro/Enterprise tiers for some features
  • Fewer features than Trello (no power-ups, limited automation)
  • No official mobile apps
  • No managed cloud offering from the core project

We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
