Introduction

oneloop is a lightweight task manager for small teams. You host it yourself. It is a single program with a built-in database, so it runs well on a small server or in one container.

Features

• Roadmap: plan tracks, epics and milestones on a timeline.
• Board: move tasks through Planning, In Progress, In Review and Done. Keep loose ideas in the Pool.
• Tasks: assignees, deadlines, blocking, comments, mentions, and files with previews.
• Inbox: one private list of mentions, replies, assignments and unblocked tasks.
• Knowledge: read your team’s guides, rules and decisions from a folder of any Git repository, with previews and one search over names and text.
• Live updates: everyone sees changes without reloading the page.
• AI assistants: connect Claude Code, Codex or another MCP client, with the access you choose.
• Easy to run: one binary, SQLite storage and backups with one command.

What oneloop doesn’t do

oneloop stays small on purpose.

• No custom workflows. Every task has the same four statuses. There are no sprints, story points, time tracking, automation rules or plugins.
• No email. Notifications appear in the Inbox. An admin creates accounts and resets passwords; people can’t sign up on their own.
• One server. oneloop runs as one process with one database. There is no clustering. Use projects to separate the work of different teams.
• English interface. Your own content can be in any language.
