Every package Focalboard depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Focalboard is a self-hosted, open source project management platform that gives technical teams and individuals full control over their data. It replaces proprietary tools like Trello, Notion, and Asana by offering a flexible, multi-view interface for managing tasks, goals, and workflows without vendor lock-in.
Built with a Go backend and a React/TypeScript frontend, Focalboard supports both a personal desktop edition (available on Windows, macOS, and Linux) and a personal server edition for multi-user team use. Data can be stored in SQLite for lightweight deployments or PostgreSQL for production-grade setups, and Docker images make deployment straightforward.
Focalboard originated as a project from Mattermost and was deeply integrated into the Mattermost platform as its Boards feature. The standalone community repository allows teams outside the Mattermost ecosystem to run it independently. The codebase supports multilingual interfaces, real-time collaboration via WebSockets, a REST API for integration, and customizable board templates for recurring workflows.
As of 2024, the standalone community repository is no longer actively maintained. Teams interested in ongoing board functionality within Mattermost can use the separately maintained mattermost-plugin-boards plugin. Despite this status, the codebase remains a complete, fully functional project management solution for teams willing to self-host a stable, feature-complete tool.
