Project management
your team will actually use.
Netptune brings your tasks, boards, and team together in one place — with real-time collaboration, full audit trails, and the freedom to host it yourself.
"Built for teams who need real control over their tools and their data."
Features
Everything your team needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Kanban boards built for speed
Custom columns, drag-and-drop reordering, multiple boards per project. Structure your workflow exactly how your team thinks — no configuration overhead.
Real-time, out of the box
When your teammate moves a task, you see it move. When someone posts a comment, it appears instantly — no polling, no refreshing, no guesswork.
Full audit trails, always
Every change is logged automatically — who made it, what changed, and when. 11 tracked activity types give you complete visibility into how your project evolved.
Comments on every task
Discussion lives on tasks, not in Slack threads that get buried. React with emoji, ask questions, share context — all attached to the work it relates to.
Rich task details
A powerful editor, file attachments via any S3-compatible store, tags, due dates, and status tracking — without the bloat of tools that try to do everything.
Role-based access control
Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles per workspace. Everyone sees what they should — and nothing they shouldn't. Separate workspaces for different teams or clients.
Kanban boards
The way your team works — visualized.
Drag tasks between columns, assign them to teammates, and watch the board update for everyone in real time. No refreshing. No confusion about who's doing what.
Custom columns, drag-and-drop reordering, multiple boards per project. Structure your workflow exactly how your team thinks.
Workspaces
One workspace. Every project.
Bring your entire team under one roof. Create projects, assign members, and keep work organized across as many boards as you need — all within a shared workspace.
Separate workspaces for different teams or clients. Role-based access ensures everyone sees what they should — and nothing they shouldn't.
