Project Management, Planning and Time Tracking app. From solo projects to multi-member teams, Eigenfocus adapts to your workflow.
eigenfocus is commonly used as a self-hosted alternative to Asana, Monday.com, Jira. Replacing a SaaS tool with a self-hosted equivalent lets you avoid recurring subscription fees, keep full control of your data, and continue working even when the original vendor changes pricing, ships limits, or shuts down.

And access it at http://localhost:3001. ## Docker Compose Or using a `docker-compose.yml` file: ```yaml services: web: image: eigenfocus/eigenfocus:1.5.1-free restart: unless-stopped volumes: - ./app-data:/eigenfocus-app/app-data environment: - DEFAULT_HOST_URL=http://localhost:3001 ports: - 3001:3000
Self-hosting gives you three things SaaS can’t: data ownership (the files live on disks you control), cost predictability (a one-time setup vs. recurring per-seat fees that grow with your household or team), and longevity (open-source means the app keeps working even if the maintainers move on, since you can pin a working version). The trade-off is that you take on the operational work of running a server, applying updates, and handling backups.
Most self-hosted apps run comfortably on modest hardware — a Raspberry Pi 4, a mini PC, a NAS with Docker support, or a small VPS is usually enough for personal or family use. CPU and RAM requirements scale with how many simultaneous users or how much data you push through eigenfocus. Storage requirements depend on the kind of data you keep; check the README for guidance on data retention.
