Plane offers an open-source product development and management platform for managing issues, sprints, and product roadmaps, with customizable list, Kanban and calendar views, sprint "cycles", and bi-directional GitHub Issues and Slack integrations. Founded last November by brothers Vamsi and Vihar Kurama, the initial Plane GitHub repository preceded the formal launch and the product went live 12 months ago. The company emphasizes privacy, security, and code transparency, allowing customers to self-host and inspect the code; Plane is released under the AGPL v3.0 copyleft license. Recent product iterations include a "quick add" feature and ongoing improvements to planning and tracking workflows. Plane plans a new "Vault" feature for securely storing and sharing authentication secrets and aims to ship Mac, Windows, Android and iOS clients by mid next year. The company is iterating on pricing, including managed cloud services and enterprise-grade features for self-hosting to support monetization.
