# Leantime

> Open-source project management built with neurodivergence in mind

Leantime is a project management system that pairs kanban, table and list task views with milestones on a timeline, goals, docs, timesheets and retrospectives. Its maker says it is built with ADHD, dyslexia and autism in mind, and the cloud version includes an AI assistant that prioritizes and breaks down tasks. The core is open source under AGPLv3 for self-hosting, and the hosted Leantime Pro is a single paid plan.

## Ways to pay less

- **Two months free with annual billing** (Annual discount): Leantime Pro is $8 per user / month billed annually against $10 billed monthly. The pricing page describes this as 2 months free and a 17% discount. Source: https://leantime.io/pricing/

## Key features

- **Kanban, table and list task views:** To-dos can be viewed as a kanban board, a table or a list, with subtasks, dependencies, custom statuses, sprints and a backlog.
- **Milestones on a timeline:** Milestones bundle tasks under a date and appear on a Gantt-style timeline. Program plans, a paid extra when self-hosting, give the same view across projects.
- **My Work dashboard:** A personal dashboard gathers tasks from every project in customizable widgets, with time blocking around events imported from an iCal link.
- **Goals and strategy:** Strategy boards, focus areas and goals connect project goals to a longer-term plan. Strategy management is in Leantime Pro or a plugin for the open-source version.
- **Time tracking and timesheets:** Time is tracked from a task, the dashboard or a timesheet, and timesheets can be managed and exported in both the open-source and Pro versions.
- **AI assistant:** The AI, called L.E.O., prioritizes tasks, breaks a task into subtasks, collects status updates from the team and compiles status reports. It is not in the open-source version.

## Good for

- People with ADHD, dyslexia or autism who find standard project tools overwhelming
- Teams that want to self-host an open-source project management tool
- Small businesses and agencies that track billable hours on projects

## Worth knowing

- There is no free cloud plan: the hosted version is a single paid plan after a 14-day trial.
- AI features are not available when self-hosting, and whiteboards, custom fields, recurring tasks and program plans are paid plugins there.
- The iPhone and Android apps are in beta and act as companions for tasks, notes and timers; full project work stays on the web.
- Self-hosted instances need the paid Advanced Auth plugin before the mobile app can connect.
