About Truetask

Built for teams who
own their tools.

Truetask is a self-hosted project management platform designed for organizations that refuse to hand their operational data to a third party.

Why Truetask exists

Truetask was born from nearly a decade of building enterprise internal tools for global production teams. Bidding platforms, payroll systems, pipeline automation, real-time project tracking across facilities in Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Atlanta — all built to run on-premise, all built to work without depending on external services.

The pattern was always the same: teams start with a SaaS tool, accumulate years of operational data inside it, then realize they have no control over where that data lives, how it's secured, or what happens when pricing changes. By then, migration is painful and vendor lock-in is real.

Truetask takes a different approach. It deploys on your infrastructure in minutes. It runs without internet access. It stores everything in a local database you control. And it costs a flat fee — no per-seat pricing, no recurring charges, no surprises.

Principles

What we believe

Data Sovereignty

Your data lives on your servers. We never see it, touch it, or have access to it. Zero telemetry. Zero external calls.

Perpetual Licensing

Pay once, own it forever. No subscriptions, no renewals required to keep running. Your license never expires.

Offline-First

No CDNs, no web fonts, no external APIs. Truetask runs in air-gapped environments without internet access.

No Per-Seat Fees

Unlimited users on every plan. We believe charging per seat punishes growth and creates perverse incentives.

Background

Engineering philosophy

Truetask comes from a background of building enterprise internal platforms — CI/CD pipelines, automated payroll systems, and real-time production tracking tools used across global facilities. That experience shaped every architectural decision in the product.

Docker Compose deployment because infrastructure should be simple. SQLite because databases shouldn't require a DBA. Perpetual licensing because software you depend on shouldn't disappear when a subscription lapses. Air-gapped support because some environments can't — and shouldn't — reach the internet.

Every feature is built, tested, and maintained with the same rigor you'd expect from tools running inside a production environment where downtime costs real money.
