A single-file, self-hosted Kanban board designed for developers. No database. No complex setup. Just PHP and Markdown files.
MIT Licensed • Free • Open Source
Every card is a Markdown file. Use headers, lists, and code blocks natively. When you write in Beckon, you're writing standard files that any editor can read.
No MySQL. No SQLite. Beckon stores your boards as folders and your cards as JSON/MD files. Back up your projects by simply zipping the folder.
Deployment is instant. Upload index.php to any PHP-enabled server (Apache, Caddy, Nginx) and you are ready to sail.
Migrating from the cloud? Export your Trello board to JSON and import it directly into Beckon. Keep your history, comments, and checklists.
Track changes with built-in revision history. Beckon keeps a log of card edits so you can roll back descriptions to previous versions if needed.
Your data stays on your server. Perfect for internal developer tools, private roadmaps, or personal organization.
No build steps. No npm install. Just raw PHP power.
