Huly is an open-source, all-in-one platform for building and running team workspaces that combine project management, real-time communication, and documentation. It aims to replace a stack of separate tools by unifying issues, collaboration, and knowledge in one system.

Key Features

  • Project and issue tracking for planning and managing work
  • Team chat for real-time communication inside workspaces
  • Collaborative documents with rich text, attachments, and code blocks
  • Real-time co-editing, user mentions, linking documents to issues, and action items
  • Multiple business apps built on the same platform (e.g., CRM, HRM, ATS)
  • API client for programmatic access and building integrations

Use Cases

  • Run a unified workspace for product teams combining issues, chat, and documentation
  • Maintain internal documentation, meeting notes, and roadmaps linked to ongoing work
  • Build custom business applications on top of the Huly Platform framework

Limitations and Considerations

  • Some local/development installations may not support outbound email, which can disable features like password recovery and email notifications

Huly is well-suited for teams that want a single, cohesive system for coordinating work and knowledge. It also provides a platform foundation for extending into broader business workflows such as CRM and HR processes.
