Looking for a powerful open-source alternative to Motion? Tired of juggling multiple tools to manage your team, projects, and daily schedule?
If you’ve explored platforms like Motion for time-blocking and task management, you already know the value of structured productivity. But what if you could get that, plus team chat, GitHub integration, CRM, collaborative docs, hiring workflows, and more, in a single, open-source solution you control?
Huly
Huly offers a comprehensive workspace where task planning, communication, and documentation come together in one unified platform. Designed for product teams, developers, and remote collaborators, it’s more than just a project manager, it’s an open-source ecosystem tailored for productivity and control.
Unlike Motion, which focuses on AI-driven time blocking and calendar management, Huly broadens the scope. It consolidates tools you'd otherwise spread across Linear, Slack, Notion, Jira, and more. From live team chats to planning out roadmaps, assigning tasks, and even managing hiring workflows, Huly is built to do it all.
It brings together a Project Manager, CRM, HRM, Chat, and Applicant Tracking System, all tightly integrated. You get fine-grained collaboration features, like real-time editing of rich documents, connected directly to your GitHub issues. Add to that the power of bidirectional GitHub syncing, and your dev workflow stays in sync without switching tools.
For teams that prefer ownership, self-hosting is simple through Docker, no deep technical overhead required. Whether you're setting up your own instance or customizing it for your company, Huly provides the flexibility proprietary tools can't match.
Need structured productivity? Huly includes time-blocking, much like Motion, to help structure your day efficiently. But it extends further with tools like a Virtual Office, designed to simulate real-time collaboration spaces with video and audio calls built in. No plugins, no friction.
Huly even anticipates the future of teamwork with MetaBrain, an emerging AI-powered knowledge base that will help teams link tasks, notes, and conversations together in meaningful, searchable ways.
In a remote-first world, you need tools that work together seamlessly. Huly makes collaboration intuitive, documentation collaborative, and data ownership yours.
