ABOUT THE SOFTWARE
What is Leantime
Leantime is an AGPLv3 open-source work-management platform built for teams that don't have a project manager. The codebase has been in active development since 2019 and recently rewrote its core onto Laravel and Symfony for performance.
Maintained by Leantime — a US-incorporated team led by Gloria and Marcel Folaron. The platform has crossed 1.8 million Docker Hub pulls and 25,000+ self-reported installations, with over 40 languages contributed via Crowdin and a 9,000-plus star GitHub repository.
Where Leantime is unusual: it was deliberately designed with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia in mind. The interface offers an OpenDyslexic-font reading mode, emoji-based emotional task prioritization, an AI-generated "project story" that re-translates the project goal into the user's preferred tone (motivational, pirate, knight), and a My Work dashboard that hides scope rather than showing it. Customers describe it as the project tool that doesn't fight executive-function friction.
Under the hood: PHP, MySQL or MariaDB, optional Redis. A JSON-RPC 2.0 API exposes everything the UI does.
FEATURES
What Leantime does
WHAT'S ALWAYS INCLUDED
Every app. Fully managed.
Nothing extra to pay for.
Every app you deploy includes the full managed service — security, backups, updates, and support from day one.
WHY MANAGED
Why teams pick managed Leantime
Atlassian raised Jira list prices twice in 2025: Data Center plans went up 15–30% on February 11, and Cloud plans went up 5–20% on October 15. Data Center reaches end-of-sale on March 30, 2026. Teams that picked Jira for cost or control are running out of both.
Self-hosting Leantime is well-documented and not technically hard for someone who has run a PHP stack. The work that "just running Leantime" doesn't include is the part that hurts.
The most-cited failure mode on the Leantime issue tracker is the 3.2 release upgrade. The release switched session handling from a homegrown system to Laravel's, and the new session/ folder must be writable by the PHP-FPM user. The upgrade script doesn't say so. Many self-hosted installs locked their own users out on the first run — see GitHub issues #2649 and #2582. The fix is one line of chown, but the symptom looks like a database failure, and the rollback path isn't obvious if you didn't snapshot first. The 3.7 release replaced the entire WYSIWYG editor and quietly tightened the PHP-extension requirements. The 3.x line has had three more upgrade traps like that.
DANIAN ships every Leantime instance on a known-good stack and runs upgrades behind a maintenance window with a rollback snapshot. If 3.7.3 → 3.7.4 breaks something, we revert. You don't. The cron worker is monitored — if it stalls, we restart it. Most self-hosts never notice their scheduler silently stopped six months ago. And the email password-reset flow actually works, because the SMTP relay is pre-configured with TLS, not left for you to wire to Gmail and discover that App Passwords were silently required.

No more maintenance headaches!
Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Kevin Blackwell

Best managed service
I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

William Northfield

Love the personalized service!

George Adams

n8n runs excellent

David Hartmann

Smooth experience
I needed a way to manage the projects and files for my company. This was the first time I learn about opensource. I asked their support and livechat and they assisted me immediately. I started with Openproject. Later I added Nextcloud. My team were able to get used to the apps fast.

Love the freedom
I wanted to use a crm for my startup. I signed up for the free trial. Tried out espocrm and dolibar and picked one. Their dashboard is very easy for a beginner. I recommend them and feel confident in choosing them.
Elias Koch

Wow just wow
After discovering DANIAN, I wished I'd found them sooner — their solution is excellent and deserves wider recognition. Very good solution!

Tyler Hollander

Professional tech support!

Bastian Engel

Their support team is the best!
I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding. They basically left my apps run until I solved the card issue. Other providers would have deleted my data in a heartbeat. This is the way to build client-vendor trust!

George Adams

Fair price and fast
4 months ago I activated n8n, Uptime kuma, Vaultwarden and Paperlessngx. So far everything is perfect. The performance of all apps is excellent. I contacted their support team couple times for using custom subdomains for the apps and they were fast and kind. I'm constantly recommending them to my network!

Atanas

Vaultwarden 10/10
I wanted to selfhost a passwords manager for my company but I didn't trust the mainstream providers. I tried out Vaultwarden for the free trial. I loved how their support team communicated with me professionally but still kind. I know that I can contact them whenever with whatever question I have. Recommended!

Edward Nelson

Everything just works!
My focus is on my business, not running servers. I love that I can lauch any app without having to think about the tech behind it. Everything just works!
Tony Roy

Awesome support team!

Filip

Very proactive!
Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Luke Hall

Win-win!
I run a web design biz. After I perform the work for my clients, they constantly ask me for more software solutions. So I partnered with DANIAN. Not only I provide the requested softwares for my clients and get the increased revenue boost by delegating all to DANIAN, but also for those clients that wish to order directly from DANIAN, I send them an affiliate link. Win-win on all sides!

Awesome customer service
I needed to add analytics on my website but I didn't know anything about DNS. Their team guided me at all phases and they performed the changes for me. Additionally they were transparent and notified me of every change applied and steps performed.

Gabriele Marino

Good admin dashboard
Not only that I got Chatwoot, I also have access to the management dashboard. I love that I can view my hourly/daily usage and perform manual backups and restorations if needed. I don't need the level of control but it feels good to know that I have it if I need it.

Andreas Schmitt

Great service!
I configure custom Matomo tracking for my clients as a monthly service. Many of my clients were asking if they can selfhost Matomo instead of using the Cloud service. My employee recommended DANIAN. Basically, I can activate as much Matomo's in any of 20+ countries the same day. Additionally the affiliate revenue is a nice bonus.

Jacob Turner

Smooth experience
I was listing through youtube tuts on how to install Bookstack myself. Then randomly, I found their video playlist exactly for Bookstack. Got curious and went at their website. For the same price (or higher) that I would pay for just the VPS, with them I'm getting a fully managed Bookstack. It's a no-brainer decision!

Mason Hayes

Its a great service
Its a great service. I love the performance of my Mastodon community. It keeps on growing and I don't have any worries about backups, secuirity, updates, etc.

Vinícius Rocha

Very intuitive solution!
I wanted to use a nocode software for my company. A friend recommended them so I tried both Baserow and NocoDB, couple days later picked one.

USE CASES
Three teams who run Leantime on DANIAN
These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.
8-PERSON PRODUCT STUDIO
Moved off Jira after the October 2025 price hike
Germany region. OIDC tied to Google Workspace. GitHub-issue sync via the JSON-RPC API. Founder is ADHD-diagnosed; picked Leantime specifically for the My Work dashboard and emoji prioritization. Daily backups, 30-day retention. Monthly cost replacing Jira: €9 instead of $90.50.
BOUTIQUE DEV CONSULTANCY
Tracking 6 client engagements with native time tracking
USA region. One project per client, kanban board per project, timesheets per consultant. Stripe invoicing wired through the JSON-RPC API. Client roles let stakeholders see only their project. Replaced an Asana Advanced subscription that was $24.99 per seat per month.
ADHD-COACHING PRACTICE
4 coaches managing 60+ concurrent client engagements
UK region. One Leantime project per client, treatment goals mapped to Leantime milestones, session notes in the Notes feature. CalDAV plugin for two-way calendar sync. Self-hosting was a deliberate choice for client-record confidentiality; managed-hosting kept the choice without the 2am pager.
COMPARISON
Four ways to run Leantime
The Leantime team makes the open-source code free. What costs money is running it: a server, a database, backups, monitoring, certificate renewals, version upgrades, on-call. Here are four real-world ways to pay that bill, with the math each path actually involves.
| PATH | 1 USER | 5 USERS | 10 USERS | WHAT YOU OPERATE | FAILURE MODE | UPGRADE WORK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jira Software Cloud Standard | $9.05 / month | $45.25 / month | $90.50 / month | The vendor's UI | Per-seat math at scale | Vendor handles |
| Self-host on a $24/mo VPS | $44 / month infra + 1–2 hrs ops | Same infra + ~2 hrs ops | Same infra + DB tuning + ~3 hrs ops | A whole stack | A 2am alert no one answers | You handle |
| Run on a home server | €85–185 / month effective | €105–245 / month effective | Same hardware, scaling tax | A whole stack and a closet | A power flicker that wipes the DB | You handle |
| DANIAN Managed Leantime | €9 / month | €9 / month | €9 / month | Nothing | A support reply | We handle |
Jira Software pricing per Atlassian's pricing page, October 2025 list rates at annual billing. The 5-user and 10-user rows for the VPS and home-server paths assume the same hardware — the bottleneck is operational time, which scales with team usage and database size. The home-server path includes amortised hardware, electricity at €0.30/kWh, business-grade internet with a static IP, off-site backup target, and 2–4 hours of monthly operational time at €60–120/hour. Once Jira passes 10 seats, the per-seat math is what teams notice.
BY INDUSTRY
Leantime for specific industries
Leantime's goal-focused structure and AGPL license make it a fit for industries that need client-record retention, jurisdictional control over data, and the option to keep working when a vendor doubles their prices. Four patterns we run repeatedly.
