What is Vikunja?
Vikunja is an open-source web-based application for task and project management. Developed using Go language and Vue.js, it allows individuals and teams to efficiently organize their work and collaborate on tasks.
Some of the key features of Vikunja include:
- User accounts and teams - Vikunja supports creating separate user accounts and organizing them into teams with different permission levels
- Tasks and sub-tasks - Tasks can be structured with parent-child relationships, checklists, labels, due dates, assignments, comments and more
- Boards and lists - Tasks can be organized into customizable boards (like Kanban or Scrum) and lists for better visualization
- Calendar view - See all your tasks and deadlines laid out on a calendar to help with scheduling and planning
- Notifications - Get notified when you are assigned a task, mentioned in a comment, task due dates approach, etc.
- Attachments - Add files and attachments like images, documents, spreadsheets to tasks
- REST API - Integration with other tools possible through Vikunja's REST API
- Themes - Customize the interface with multiple themes
- Open source - Hosted on your own server, fully customizable
With its simple and flexible interface, Vikunja is great for personal task management. But where it really shines is for teams looking for an open-source alternative to tools like Trello, Asana, Jira or Microsoft Planner.
