Plane is an open-source project management tool that handles issue tracking, sprint cycle execution, and product roadmap management on a single platform. Positioned as an alternative to commercial tools such as Jira, Linear, Monday, and ClickUp, it is designed to let teams focus on their work without the hassle of managing the tool itself.

Core features consist of work items, cycles, modules, views, pages, and analytics. Work items support a rich text editor and file uploads, while cycles track progress via burndown charts. Modules break down complex projects into smaller units, and views save filters to display only relevant issues. Pages are note spaces equipped with AI capabilities, and analytics provide real-time insights.

Distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license, it uses a tech stack including Django, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, TypeScript, and Vite. With an active community recording 56.2k stars and 5.4k forks, responses to bug reports and feature requests are fast.
