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 main editions:
Mattermost Boards: A self-hosted or free cloud server for your team to plan and collaborate.
Personal Desktop: A standalone, single-user macOS, Windows, or Linux desktop app for your own todos and personal projects.
Focalboard can also be installed as a standalone Personal Server for development and personal use.
Mattermost Boards combines project management tools with messaging and collaboration for teams of all sizes. To access and use Mattermost Boards, install or upgrade to Mattermost v6.0 or later as a self-hosted server or Cloud server. After logging into Mattermost, select the menu in the top left corner and select Boards.
Mattermost Boards is installed and enabled by default in Mattermost v6.0 and later.
See the plugin setup guide for more details.

Create an .env file in the focalboard directory that contains:
EXCLUDE_ENTERPRISE="1"To build the server:
make prebuild
makeTo run the server:
./bin/focalboard-serverThen 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.
You can build standalone apps that package the server to run locally against SQLite:
