Focalboard

Focalboard is an open source, multilingual, self-hosted project management tool that's an alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.

It helps define, organize, track and manage work across individuals and teams. Focalboard comes in two editions:

Personal Desktop: A standalone, single-user macOS, Windows, or Linux desktop app for your own todos and personal projects.

Personal Server: A standalone, multi-user server for development and personal use.

Try Focalboard

Personal Desktop (Windows, Mac or Linux Desktop)

Windows: Download from the Windows App Store or download focalboard-win.zip from the latest release, unpack, and run Focalboard.exe.
Mac: Download from the Mac App Store.
Linux Desktop: Download focalboard-linux.tar.gz from the latest release, unpack, and open focalboard-app.

Personal Server

Ubuntu: You can download and run the compiled Focalboard Personal Server on Ubuntu by following our latest install guide.

API Docs

Boards API docs can be found over at

Getting started

Our developer guide has detailed instructions on how to set up your development environment for the Personal Server. You can also join the ~Focalboard community channel to connect with other developers.

Create an .env file in the focalboard directory that contains:

EXCLUDE_ENTERPRISE="1"

To build the server:

make prebuild
make

To run the server:

./bin/focalboard-server

Then navigate your browser to http://localhost:8000 to access your Focalboard server. The port is configured in config.json.

Once the server is running, you can rebuild just the web app via make webapp in a separate terminal window. Reload your browser to see the changes.

Building and running standalone desktop apps

You can build standalone apps that package the server to run locally against SQLite:

Windows:

Requires Windows 10, Windows 10 SDK 10.0.19041.0, and .NET 4.8 developer pack* * Open a git-bash prompt. * Run make prebuild * The above prebuild step needs to be run only when you make changes to or want to install your npm dependencies, etc. * Once the prebuild is completed, you can keep repeating the below steps to build the app & see the changes. * Run make win-wpf-app * Run cd win-wpf/msix && focalboard.exe

Mac:

Requires macOS 11.3+ and Xcode 13.2.1+* * Run make prebuild * The above prebuild step needs to be run only when you make changes to or want to install your npm dependencies, etc. * Once the prebuild is completed, you can keep repeating the below steps to build the app & see the changes. * Run make mac-app * Run open mac/dist/Focalboard.app

Linux:

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04* * Install webgtk dependencies * Run sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev * Run sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev * Run make prebuild * The above prebuild step needs to be run only when you make changes to or want to install your npm dependencies, etc. * Once the prebuild is completed, you can keep repeating the below steps to build the app & see the changes. * Run make linux-app * Uncompress linux/dist/focalboard-linux.tar.gz to a directory of your choice * Run focalboard-app from the directory you have chosen

Docker:

* To run it locally from offical image: * docker run -it -p 80:8000 mattermost/focalboard * To build it for your current architecture: * docker build -f docker/Dockerfile . * To build it for a custom architecture (experimental): * docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --platform linux/arm64 .

Cross-compilation currently isn't fully supported, so please build on the appropriate platform. Refer to the GitHub Actions workflows (build-mac.yml, build-win.yml, build-ubuntu.yml) for the detailed list of steps on each platform.
