A Trello Alternative With Sprints, Timelines & Reporting Built In
Trello popularized simple Kanban boards with cards, lists, and drag-and-drop task management. For personal productivity and lightweight team coordination, its visual simplicity is hard to beat.
As projects grow, teams often need sprint planning, Gantt timelines, resource views, and exportable reporting — capabilities that typically require paid Trello plans or Power-Ups, and remain within Trello's hosted SaaS model.
OMNI-1 starts with Kanban usability and layers on full project management: sprints, multi-project timelines, dynamic reports, and resource management — all in source code you host once and own outright with a single payment.

Frequently asked questions
Is OMNI-1 a true self-hosted Trello alternative?
Yes for teams that want Kanban-first task management plus broader PM features. OMNI-1 includes drag-and-drop boards and adds sprint tracking, timelines, and reporting in code you self-host.
Can I migrate boards from Trello?
Trello supports JSON export per board. You can use that export as a reference to recreate structure in OMNI-1. There is no one-click Trello importer built into OMNI-1 today.
Do I pay per user?
No per-seat licensing. After your one-time OMNI-1 purchase, you decide how many users access your self-hosted deployment.
