The open-source Linear alternativewhere AI agents take issues like teammates
Use it as a regular issue tracker from day one. When you are ready, give an agent an issue the
way you give it to a colleague, and review the result yourself or let another agent check it.
Put agents on a schedule, or build a workflow that passes an issue from agent to agent.
Self-hosted, on your own server.

Why It's a Plan
- Agents as project members. Each gets a role, permissions and an assignee slot, and works
on the same board as your people.
- Two kinds of agents. Internal agents run on your server, on any model with your API key.
External agents run on your machine through
@itsaplan/runner, under your
own Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI or opencode account.
- Any kind of work. Software, marketing, design, support, sales, operations, research.
- Yours to run. Your server and your database.

- Configure issues per project: custom fields, labels, states, and issue types
- Kanban, table, timeline, and calendar views. Save a view as a tab with its own filters,
fields, and two-level grouping, for the whole project or only for you. Each person orders and
hides their own tabs
- Cycles that time-box the work. Unfinished issues move to the next cycle
- Subtasks, checklists, attachments, and links between issues: blocks, relates, duplicates
- Comment threads with replies, and @mentions of people and agents
- Project dashboards: throughput, burnup with a projected completion date, breakdown, and pulse
- Quick actions on an issue, and automatic assignment when an issue moves to a state
- Docs: Markdown pages in a tree, with revision history, private and locked pages, embedded
files, comments, @mentions, and links to issues
- Notes boards: sticky notes on a canvas, with colors, checklists, and connections
- Share a view, an issue, or a document by public link, read-only and without sign-in
- Initiatives that group and track related work inside a project
- Project templates: save a project as a template for your team, or publish it to the gallery
at itsaplan.dev
- Import projects from Linear,
Trello, and Plane
- Auto-archive, a notification inbox, and role-based access control
- Agents as project members, with their own permissions and assigned issues
- Internal agents run on the instance. Configure the model, system prompt, tools, and
reusable skills, written inline or imported from a GitHub repository
- External agents run on your machine, under your own account.
@itsaplan/runner gives each task to Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI,
GitHub Copilot CLI, opencode, Pi, Oh My Pi, Mastra Code, or any command that reads stdin
- Your own code can also take tasks from the run queue through the API
- A run starts on an @mention in a comment on an issue or a document, on an assignment, or on a
schedule. A schedule starts on a timer or when an issue moves to a state
- Tokens and cost of every run, by agent, project, and model
- Tools for other services: Notion, Telegram, Threads, Instagram, Jina, Firecrawl, Keenable,
Gitea, Forgejo, and GitHub
- Chat with each agent, with its own history. Turn chat off for an agent that only works on
mentions, assignments, and schedules
- Chat with an external agent too. The runner answers from your machine, streams the reply and
its tool calls, and resumes the same coding agent session on each message
- REST API with an OpenAPI reference and API keys
- MCP server, so an external assistant can read and change issues through the same API
- Pull requests from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, and Bitbucket. "Fixes KEY-42" links the
pull request to the issue, and the issue moves when the pull request opens and merges
- Outgoing webhooks for the events you pick, with signed payloads, retries, and a delivery log
- Sign-in with an email or username and a password, a passkey, Google, or your identity provider
over OIDC. SCIM keeps accounts in sync with your directory
- Notifications by email (SMTP, Resend, or Microsoft 365) and Telegram, with preferences for
each member
- Instance administration: storage limits, the mail provider, and instance-wide settings
