A whiteboard where your tasks stay live

tiko puts the tasks from Jira and GitHub on an infinite canvas as cards. Arrange them the way you think. Their statuses update on their own.

Works with Jira Data Center and Server GitHub IssuesPlanned: Jira Cloud, Linear, PlaneAll trackers

Your tracker keeps the tasks. tiko gives them a place.

Lists and columns hide how work fits together. On a canvas you group it, plan it and see what is waiting on what, with statuses that are never out of date.

Cards that stay live

Add tasks by key, link or query. Each card shows the real status from your tracker, refreshed every 30 seconds.

Adding tasks

Arrange them the way you think

Frames, sticky notes, text and arrows around the cards, with smart guides that snap things into place.

The board

Plan on a timeline

Drop cards onto a Gantt and get bars with live status, milestones and dependency lines.

Gantt

Wait without watching

Put a timer next to a card. It goes off after a set time or when the task leaves its status.

Timers and focus

Find anything from the keyboard

⌘K searches the board and runs commands, and every tool has a shortcut.

Search

Work on a board together

Invite people with a link, as viewers or editors. Everyone sees each other's cursors and changes as they happen.

Working together

One canvas, many ways to lay work out

A board has no fixed shape. Three layouts to start from.

Sprint planning

Pull the backlog in with one query, drag cards into frames by goal and leave notes on what is still unclear. During the sprint the board shows where each task really is.

A release across teams

Put the tasks of several projects, from Jira and GitHub, on one board. Plan them on a Gantt with milestones and see which bar slips when a status does not move.

Your own week

Keep the tasks you own and the ones you wait on in two frames. Set a timer on a review you asked for and use the focus timer for the deep work.

Running on your server in a few minutes

The installer sets up Docker if it is missing, starts the latest release and prints the address and the password. A fresh install opens on a sample board, so you can try everything before you connect a tracker.

Linux, macOS

$curl -fsSL https://tiko.run/install.sh | sh

Windows 10, 11 (PowerShell)

>irm https://tiko.run/install.ps1 | iex

Or run Docker Compose yourself, deploy on Railway or Render.

tiko Cloud is tiko hosted by us, with nothing to install and a free plan.

Coming soon

  • One SQLite file

    Boards, people and settings live in one file on your server, with no database to run.

  • Tokens stay on the server

    Tracker tokens are encrypted and never sent back to the browser or written to logs.

  • Read-only by design

    tiko reads tasks and never edits them. Each person sees what their own tracker access allows.

  • No telemetry

    It talks to your tracker and, unless you turn it off, to GitHub to check for a new release.

Built in the open, under AGPL-3.0

The whole of tiko is on GitHub: the code, the roadmap and the decisions behind them. You can run it on your own server and change it under the license.

Questions before you try it

What is tiko?

tiko is an open-source, self-hosted whiteboard where the tasks from your tracker live as cards. You lay them out on an infinite canvas with frames, notes and arrows, and each card keeps showing the real status of its task.

Which trackers does tiko work with?

Jira Data Center and Server, and GitHub issues and pull requests. Jira Cloud, Linear and Plane are planned. One board can mix tasks from several trackers.

Does tiko change my tasks?

No. tiko only reads tasks and never edits them. Each person connects their own token and sees what their tracker access allows.

How fresh are the statuses?

Statuses refresh every 30 seconds while a board is open, with one batched request per board. A closed task is struck through.

Where is my data?

On your server, in one SQLite file. Tracker tokens are encrypted and never sent back to the browser. tiko sends no telemetry.

How do I install it?

With one command on Linux, macOS or Windows: the installer sets up Docker if it is missing and starts the latest release. You can also run the Docker Compose file yourself or deploy to Railway or Render.

Is tiko free?

Yes. tiko is free software under AGPL-3.0: run it on your own server for as many people as you like. A hosted tiko Cloud with a free plan is coming.

Put your tasks where you can see them

The demo opens a sample board in your browser. You don't need to sign up or install anything.
