Doska vs Hygger

Doska is a local-first Kanban board that stores cards as Markdown files. Boards remain on the device and work offline, with synchronization available when configured. Card content supports GitHub-flavored Markdown, task lists, links between cards, deadlines and priorities. Board tools include a row view, sortable deadlines and priorities, search, sidebar folders and undo for deleted cards. The desktop app can sync boards both ways with a local folder, representing columns as folders and cards as Markdown files. Cross-device sync and shared boards require a self-hosted server running with Docker and Docker Compose. On that server, admins create accounts, while board owners can share boards or publish read-only links. Doska is free, MIT licensed and has no features behind a paywall. It supports Android, API, iOS, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web and Windows. The project is in active development; its maker directs users to GitHub for bug reports and feature requests.

Hygger is project and product management software for teams. Work can be organized with task lists, Kanban boards, sprint boards, and timelines. Kanban includes swimlanes and work-in-progress limits. Scrum tools provide sprint estimates, burndown charts, velocity, and sprint release reports. Prioritization methods include Value/Effort, weighted scoring, and RICE or ICE. Teams can create and share roadmaps, track time with reports, and view live activity across boards.
