Boards & Sprints
Kanban or Scrum — every drag, drop and status change appears for everyone in under 500 ms. WIP limits keep columns honest, swimlanes group work by assignee, priority or epic, and quick filters cut the noise. Nobody hits refresh.
Backlog & Planning
Drag to reorder the backlog, drag again to fill the sprint. Bulk actions handle the hundred-issue days. When the sprint ends, unfinished work rolls to the next one — and velocity and burndown calculate themselves.
Time & Reports
Log time on the issue, compare estimates with reality, and read the reports that answer retro questions: burndown, velocity trends, cycle and lead time, cumulative flow, team workload. Billable work gets its own toggle.
Automations & Workflows
Build your own workflow per project, gate transitions by role, require fields before "Done" means done. Then automate the rest: triggers, AND/OR conditions and actions like assign, label, notify or create a subtask — no code, full run history.
Integrations & AI
Planora ships with a built-in MCP server — 13 tools that let Claude, Cursor or any MCP client create issues, search with PQL, move work through the sprint and comment on tickets for you. Scoped tokens and rate limits keep it on a leash. "Create a bug for the login timeout and put it in the current sprint" is now a sentence, not a workflow.
Self-hosting & Security
Planora is self-hosted by design, not as an afterthought. One docker-compose file brings up the whole stack — PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO — on your VPS, your data center or any Docker-capable platform like Coolify. Back up with pg_dump, migrate with one command, and answer the "where is our data?" question with a shrug: it's on your hardware.
docker-compose.yml — the whole stack, up in minutes
Internal dogfooding
We use Planora to plan Planora: issues, sprints and release work all live in the same self-hosted instance.
Launch content
The product brief is intentionally strict: only verified features make it into the marketing site.
Self-hosted first
The stack is familiar on purpose: PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO and Docker Compose.
The full platform for one self-hosted instance — all features, all updates while subscribed.

Planora is a self-hosted project-management platform — a simpler, faster alternative to Jira for software teams of roughly 11–50 people. It covers issue tracking, Kanban and Scrum boards, backlog and sprint planning, time tracking, reports, automations and integrations, and it runs entirely on your own servers.
Three ways. It’s self-hosted by design, so your data stays on your infrastructure. It’s radically simpler — the default workflow is four statuses and a project has six navigation items, so teams are productive on day one. And it’s licensed per instance, not per user, so growing your team doesn’t grow your bill. There’s even a PQL query language that will feel instantly familiar if you know Jira — and a Jira importer for when you switch.
No. The whole stack — app, PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO — is defined in a single docker-compose file. If you can run Docker on a Linux host, you can run Planora. It also deploys cleanly on Docker platforms like Coolify, Render, Railway or Fly.io, and database migrations run automatically on startup.
Yes — book a live demo and we'll walk you through a real instance in 30 minutes, using your questions as the agenda. And every plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can evaluate it on your own servers risk-free. We don't do fake "free" tiers.
One license per self-hosted instance, every feature included, no per-seat fees. Pay monthly, pay yearly (2 months free), or pay once for a lifetime license. Details and prices are on the pricing page.
Yes. Planora's Jira importer bulk-imports projects, issues and users from both Jira Server and Jira Cloud. Your history comes with you.
Planora ships with a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposing 13 tools — creating and searching issues, transitioning status, managing sprints, commenting and more. Any MCP client, like Claude or Cursor, can operate Planora on your behalf, secured by scoped tokens and rate limits.
Software teams and agencies of about 11–50 people who've outgrown spreadsheets but don't want Jira's complexity — especially teams that need or prefer self-hosting: privacy, cost control, EU data sovereignty, or regulated industries that must keep data in-house.
Every feature, one fair license, your own servers. Prefer to see it running first? Book a demo on a real instance.
