Boards

Boards your team will actually use

Move work from idea to done on a calm, fast board, then see the same tasks in a list, a timeline or the calendar.

  • Kanban, list, timeline and calendar views
  • Assignees, labels, priorities and due dates
  • Sub-tasks, and validation person by person
  • Everything with a date appears in your calendar

Documents

Documents you write together

A fast editor that stays out of your way, with live cursors, rich blocks and the same document on every device.

  • Live co-editing with presence and cursors
  • Formulas, diagrams, tables, code and embeds
  • Share by link, or with exactly the people you choose
  • Edit offline in the apps; changes merge when you reconnect

  • Recurring events and a calendar per board
  • Subscribe to your school or work calendars (CalDAV)

And around it

Everything a team needs, nothing it doesn’t

Boards and tasks

Kanban boards with assignees, labels, due dates, sub-tasks and per-person validation.

Collaborative documents

Write together, with formulas, diagrams, tables, code and embeds.

Calendar

Events, recurrence, a calendar per board and CalDAV subscriptions.

Mail alongside

Read your mailbox next to your work and turn a message into a task.

Projects

Small websites, LaTeX documents and Jupyter notebooks that run Python in the browser.

Made for school too

Connect Moodle to see deadlines, courses and messages beside your own tasks.

Roles and guests

Fine-grained roles, read-only members, and guests who see only what you share.

Yours to host

Docker on your server, your identity provider, your data.

Apps

Native apps that work offline

Take Looty everywhere. The apps keep your boards, documents and calendar on the device, let you work without a connection and sync when you are back.

Android

A native app with no Google services: notifications through UnifiedPush, a home-screen widget, sharing to Looty, offline editing and updates inside the app.

Linux and Windows

A light desktop app with a tray icon, notifications, global shortcuts and offline mode. Debian and Ubuntu update through apt.

iPhone, iPad and web

Open Looty in any browser, or add it to your home screen from Safari: it opens full screen and can send notifications.

Self-hosting

Your server, your data

Looty is a server you run. Each team or school installs its own: no shared account, and nobody else holds your data. This site only distributes the apps; inside them you sign in to your own Looty server.

  • Docker Compose: three small containers and PostgreSQL
  • Single sign-on with OpenID Connect providers
  • Roles, guests and public sharing under your control
  • Free software, GPL-3.0

Read the setup guide

# docker-compose.yml + .env
curl -LO https://github.com/untypequicode/looty/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
