What is Gruik?
Gruik is an open-source, self-hosted project management and team collaboration tool. It is designed as an alternative to applications like Asana, Trello, Jira, and Basecamp.
With Gruik, teams can plan projects, break down work into tasks, set due dates, assign tasks to team members, track progress and time spent, comment and discuss work items, and pull reports. It supports common project management methodologies like Kanban, Scrum, and Waterfall.
Key features of Gruik include:
- Kanban boards for visualizing work and work in progress
- Gantt charts for scheduling tasks and planning projects
- Time tracking so team members can log time spent on tasks
- Custom fields and forms to capture additional task and project data
- Notifications and activity feeds to stay up-to-date
- Android and iOS mobile apps so teams can access Gruik on the go
- Role-based access controls and permissions
- REST API and integrations with tools like Slack, GitHub, and more
As an open-source tool, Gruik is free to use and self-hosted. It can be installed on your own Linux server, giving you control over data and customization options lacking in proprietary services. The active open-source community behind Gruik also continually develops new features, plugins, and improvements.
