Built for a Better Workflow
Traq is a project management tool born from a simple idea: developers and teams deserve software that is powerful, not punishing. We're here to provide a self-hosted, open-source solution that puts you back in control.
The Journey of Traq
Traq was started in 2009 by a single developer, nirix, who needed a straightforward, self-hosted PHP issue tracker without the bloat of existing tools. It began as a personal project driven by a real-world need for efficient agile development.
From its humble beginnings, Traq evolved. Fueled by community feedback and a commitment to open-source principles, it grew from a simple bug tracker into a comprehensive project management system. Today, it stands as a testament to the idea that great tools can be built collaboratively, remain free, and respect the user's freedom and data.
What We Believe
Our development is guided by a few core principles that define everything we build.
Open Source First
We believe in the power of community. Traq is licensed under GPL-3.0, ensuring it will always be free to use, modify, and distribute.
You Own Your Data
As a self-hosted application, Traq gives you complete ownership and control over your sensitive project data. No cloud, no third-party access.
Simplicity & Power
A tool should be powerful without being complicated. We focus on genuinely useful features and a clean, intuitive interface.
Extensibility
No tool solves every problem. With a robust API and plugin system, Traq is built to be adapted and integrated into your existing toolchain.
Built with Proven Technology
Traq is built on a solid foundation of reliable and popular open-source technologies, making it easy to deploy, manage, and contribute to.
