Choosing task management software is messy because the category mixes project boards, to-do apps, scheduling, time tracking, collaboration, and adjacent workflow tools. This July 2026 ToolVitals snapshot compares open/source-visible entries using the supplied health, shipping, openness, license, GitHub star, and ToolVitals score data for Task Management Tools.
The ranking is limited to open/source-visible tools and is ordered by ToolVitals score first, with GitHub stars used only as a secondary popularity signal when scores tie. License and openness are treated explicitly: each listed tool here is labeled OSI-approved OSS, with license_label values such as AGPL-3.0, GPL-3.0, MIT, or Apache-2.0 shown as supplied.

Top 3 Highlights
Documenso ranks first with a ToolVitals score of 97, the highest health score in the set at 98, and a shipping score of 95. It also has the largest GitHub star count among the top-ranked tools at 13,606. The supplied description positions it as “The Open Source DocuSign Alternative,” so it is adjacent to task and workflow management rather than a conventional task board. Its openness_label is OSI-approved OSS and its license_label is AGPL-3.0.
TREK ranks second with a ToolVitals score of 94 and the strongest shipping score in the list at 98. Its description is specific: a self-hosted travel and trip planner with real-time collaboration, maps, PWA support, SSO, budgets, and packing lists. With 8,665 GitHub stars, it has meaningful popularity, but its rank is driven by the ToolVitals score. Its openness_label is OSI-approved OSS and its license_label is AGPL-3.0.
Leantime ranks third with a ToolVitals score of 92, a health score of 86, and a shipping score of 93. It is one of the more directly relevant project management entries in the set, described as a goals-focused project management system for non-project managers and built with ADHD, Autism, and dyslexia in mind. It has 10,142 GitHub stars, more than TREK but a lower ToolVitals score, which is why it ranks below TREK. Its openness_label is OSI-approved OSS and its license_label is AGPL-3.0.
