A realtime kanban board, built in the open.
Nimbus is a free, open-source issue tracker for teams that want to ship — without paying per seat or living inside a sales funnel.
Issue tracking should be boring to pay for.
Most issue trackers started as a spreadsheet in a company that needed an enterprise quarter. The result: per-seat pricing, feature bloat, and a board that feels like someone else's product.
Nimbus starts from the other end. Boards, cards, comments, and assignments sync to every screen in real time — free for every team, with nothing to install and no per-seat pricing. It is an issue tracker the way a whiteboard is a whiteboard: everyone can use it, and the work is what matters.
Free is a feature
Issue tracking should not be priced per seat. Nimbus is free for every team — unlimited boards, issues, and members.
Realtime by default
A board everyone can see move is the whole point. Presence, comments, and assignments sync over WebSockets without a refresh.
Quiet by design
Every feature earns its place. No popups, no upsells, no changelog chasing — just the board and the work.
Open source
Nimbus is built in the open on GitHub. You can read the source, file an issue, or contribute to the roadmap.
Nimbus is maintained by Nehan Ahmed and is open source under the MIT license. The full source is available on GitHub — read it, run it, or contribute to it.
