# Fizzy

> Free kanban tracker for bugs, issues and ideas from 37signals

Fizzy is a kanban tool from 37signals, the company behind Basecamp and HEY, for tracking bugs, issues, ideas and small projects as cards on boards. Cards left untouched are closed automatically after a set number of days, and an urgent card can be marked as a Golden Ticket that moves to the top of its column. The hosted service is free, and the source code is published for running on your own server.

## Key features

- **Boards and columns:** Every board starts with three columns, NOT NOW, MAYBE? and DONE. Custom columns, each with its own name and color, are added alongside them.
- **Cards with steps and comments:** A card holds a description, a checklist of steps, comments, tags and an assignee. Typing # in a card links to another card by its number.
- **Auto close:** Cards with no activity move to NOT NOW after a set period, 30 days by default. Administrators can change the period for the account or for one board.
- **Golden Tickets:** Marking a card as a Golden Ticket turns it gold and moves it to the top of its column, which is how urgent work is prioritized.
- **Public boards:** A board can be given a public link so that people outside the account can follow its progress.
- **Webhooks and API:** Webhooks send board events, such as a card being created, assigned or completed, to Slack, Campfire or any tool that accepts them. An API covers boards, cards and comments.

## Good for

- Small teams tracking bugs, issues and ideas on simple boards
- Teams that want a hosted kanban tool with no per-user fee
- Developers who want to run or modify the code on their own server

## Worth knowing

- The hosted service limits file storage to 1 GB. The iOS app is for iPhone only, and desktops use the browser or an installed web app.
- There is no import from Trello, Jira, GitHub Issues or Basecamp and no two-way integration; data leaves through webhooks and the API.
- Cards cannot be reordered within a column, the three default columns cannot be renamed, and there are no board or card templates.
- The O'Saasy license permits self-hosting and modification but bars offering the software to others as a competing hosted service.
