It documents integrations and add-ons including GitHub, Bitbucket, Google Chrome and Apps, Dropscan, and desktop repository clients, and provides Redmine REST API functionality with OAuth 2 integration. Its Android and iOS apps support project and task management and are free for Planio users. The service has a free plan and a 30-day trial.
