Huly

All-in-one open source platform that combines project management, CRM, chat, HR, and wiki as an alternative to Linear, Jira, Slack, and Notion.

Open source alternative to:

Huly (built on the Hardcore Engineering platform) is an open source all-in-one productivity suite designed to replace a stack of paid tools with a single self-hostable application. It bundles an issue tracker, project planner, team chat, wiki, CRM, HR, ATS, and even quality management into one cohesive workspace.

It positions itself as a direct alternative to Linear and Jira for engineering teams, while also replacing Notion or Coda for documentation, Slack or Discord for chat, HubSpot for CRM, and Motion for AI scheduling. Because all modules share a single data model, work items, conversations, contacts, and documents stay in sync without glue code or paid integrations.

Huly is built with TypeScript and runs on Node.js and MongoDB, with first-class Docker and Kubernetes support. The community edition is fully open source under EPL-2.0, while a cloud-hosted tier is available for teams that do not want to manage infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Huly just a Notion alternative, or something bigger?

Huly positions itself as an "everything app" for teams, explicitly replacing Linear, Jira, Slack, and Notion in a single platform. Beyond documents, it bundles project management, CRM, HRM, applicant tracking, chat, and even a virtual office with audio/video rooms. The codebase is a mix of TypeScript, Svelte, Go, and Rust, and the framework is used by other products (e.g. TraceX) on top of the same platform repo.

Can I self-host Huly, and what license is it under?

Yes — the source is released under the Eclipse Public License 2.0, and the team provides a dedicated huly-selfhost repository with a Docker-based quickstart. Note that the README calls out that the hosted Huly service is being shut down (no longer funded), so self-hosting is effectively the supported path going forward; a backup & restore guide is provided for migrations.

How does real-time collaboration work in Huly documents?

Documents in Huly support live multi-user editing with version history, @mentions, code blocks, attachments, and rich-text formatting. Collaboration extends beyond docs into built-in chat, channels, and a virtual office for synchronous work. The platform also supports assigning action items directly from meeting notes inside the same editor.

Does Huly integrate with GitHub?

Yes — Huly ships a bidirectional GitHub sync for both Issues and Projects. You can link multiple repositories, mirror milestones, track contributions, and keep private tasks that only live in Huly. Effectively, Huly can act as a richer front-end on top of an existing GitHub workflow without forcing a migration off GitHub Issues.
