Issue tracking system

Linear? Jira Free Plan for small teams? There's a ton out there.

Just use Linear, free version is very good. They're leaning hard into AI but you can just ignore it

A few solid no-AI, open-source options depending on how heavy you want to go: - Kanboard: dead simple, self-hosted, runs on basically anything (it's PHP). Kanban + issues, zero bloat, no AI anywhere. Probably the closest to what you're describing. - Redmine: more full-featured (subprojects, time tracking, wikis, custom fields). Been around forever, rock solid, completely free. - Forgejo (or Gitea): if you'd rather have issues living right next to your code. Lightweight, self-hosted, and the community is pretty explicitly anti-bloat. - MantisBT: classic dedicated bug tracker if you literally just want issues and nothing else. All four are free, self-hostable, and have no AI features bolted on. Kanboard would be my pick if you want the least friction to get started.

GitHub projects?

Linear, free tier caps at 250 issues Clickup free tier as well Github projects, free entirely

Linear does the job in its free tier

Plane is probably the closest to what you're describing — open source, clean Jira-like interface, actively maintained, and notably AI-free. Self-host or use their cloud tier (free for small teams). If you want something lighter, Focalboard by Mattermost is open source and feels closer to a kanban board with issue tracking bolted on. Runs locally, no cloud required. For dead-simple: just use GitHub Issues on a private repo.

Yeah, Plane is nice in general! That said: I gave it a shot about two weeks ago, as I need something like it. The text fields (issue body, comments) drove me nutty, though. No Markdown support but no plain text either. It's some sort of WYSIWYG editor component, it completely ruined the whole thing for me. YMMV

Huly or Linear

I use https://github.com/basecamp/fizzy for a while and it is self hostable as well also can use agents to operate but it is pretty simple Not really a macOS app but the web experience is great

Many years ago I've been a redmine user and it's still actively maintained, so if you're ok with self-hosting, this can be a good fit.

If you want open source and not too expensive, I’d first decide whether “local Mac app” matters or if self-hosted is fine. For self-hosted, Redmine and Kanboard are still boring but reliable. Plane is nicer visually, but I’d check whether it has become too SaaS-shaped for your use case. If it is just personal/small-team issue tracking, even GitHub Issues in a private repo can be enough.
