Kanban that keeps up

Drag-and-drop columns, multi-assignee avatar clusters, colored labels, due dates and per-card progress pills. Every change lands on the server instantly.

📊

A dashboard per project

A Gantt-style timeline, weekly velocity chart, priority distribution donut and a live activity feed sit beside the board, so you don't need a separate reporting tool.

🏢

Real multi-tenancy

Organizations with role-based access (Admin, Member, Viewer), backed by row-level isolation and JWT auth on a Django REST API.

📦

Portable projects

Export any project as a JSON template (columns, labels, tasks and assignees) and re-import it, with a preview before anything is written.

🖥️

Web and desktop

The same UI ships as a Next.js web app and a Tauri-powered native Windows app with MSI and NSIS installers.

An API you can build on

Every screen is driven by a documented REST API, with Swagger UI and Redoc included, JWT authenticated, versioned under /api/v1/.

Most project management tools make you pick one: a snappy UI, or a backend that can actually handle a real team. TaskForge is four separate apps built around one core, so you don't have to choose.

Under the hood:

  • A Django REST API on PostgreSQL. Redis covers caching, the message broker, and websocket pub/sub, which is what keeps board updates near-instant.
  • Celery workers run notifications, digests, and scheduled task rollovers outside the request path, so the API itself stays fast.
  • The Next.js frontend uses optimistic UI and packages down to an ~8 MB desktop app with Tauri. An Electron build of the same app would land closer to 120 MB.
  • A full documentation site covering setup, self-hosting, and the API reference.

This is still under active development, so expect things to change. Docs and all four repos are linked below if you want to look closer.
