About Huly

Huly is an open-source platform that bundles a Linear-style issue tracker with team chat, documents, a planner, video meetings and an HR module in one workspace. Issues support projects, milestones, sub-issues, labels and keyboard-driven navigation, and a two-way GitHub sync lets teams use Huly as a front end for GitHub Issues and Projects. The pitch is replacing Jira, Slack, Notion and a calendar tool with a single app. You can use the hosted service, which has a free tier with unlimited users and paid tiers that add storage and video traffic per workspace, or self-host the platform; the code is under the Eclipse Public License 2.0. Because it does so much, some parts are less mature than specialist tools, and self-hosting the full stack takes more resources than a simple tracker. It runs in the browser with desktop apps.

Best for: Startups that want one open-source tool for tasks, chat and docs instead of several.
