What it does
Kanban boards, sprints, task dependencies and time tracking, plus an in-app AI assistant that carries out the work when you describe it in plain language - it navigates the interface and performs the actions itself. Everything runs on your own infrastructure and you bring your own LLM key (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter or a local model), so project data never has to sit with a vendor. Setup needs Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis and the command line. Released under the Business Source License, which is not a standard open-source licence - check the terms before commercial use.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

Taskosaur FAQ
- Is Taskosaur free?
- Taskosaur itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use Taskosaur?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does Taskosaur work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use Taskosaur commercially?
- The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
