Traq

Open-source PHP project manager and issue tracking

Visit Traq

Traq is a free, self-hosted project management and issue tracking system written in PHP and licensed under GPL-3.0. It addresses the need for teams to manage multiple projects, track tickets, and organize work without relying on a cloud service, keeping project data on infrastructure they control.

The tool supports multiple projects with their own members, permissions, milestones, and settings, along with agile sprints and traditional milestones with due dates. It includes role-based access control configurable globally or per project, custom fields for tickets (text, dropdown, checkbox, date), and a built-in Markdown wiki for each project. Integration is handled through a REST API and a plugin system. Traq is built on PHP, MariaDB/MySQL, and Vue.js.

Traq is aimed at developers, designers, and project managers who want a self-hosted tracker. It is distributed as free open-source software under GPL-3.0, with downloads available from GitHub; no paid editions, trials, or seat-based plans are described.
