About Plane
Plane is a project management and knowledge base tool for teams. Initiatives, projects, epics and cycles break work down and track its progress. A built-in wiki keeps documentation next to the work it relates to. Plane AI can summarise progress, triage items and act on assigned work.
You can use Plane in the cloud or self-host it, including in air-gapped setups. Apps are available for Android and iOS. The source is published on GitHub. It suits teams moving off Jira, Monday or ClickUp that want the option to host it themselves.
