Compare the full shortlist

Inside PlanDB

Represent nested tasks with dependencies across branches of the plan.
Find ready work, split a task and retain discoveries or decisions for later sessions.
Use CLI, MCP and HTTP interfaces documented by the project.

Before relying on it

An agent task graph does not establish a replacement for team issue permissions, cycles, reporting or a hosted board.
The installer can configure agent instruction files. Review that setup before installing; this review did not run it.
No direct Linear importer or independent concurrency benchmark was verified.

ALTERNATIVES

Asana alternatives should preserve how work crosses teams. ClickUp is a broad work-management comparison, Basecamp emphasizes a simpler project space, and Linear fits software-issue workflows. A clean personal task list is not enough when portfolios and cross-project ownership drive the process.
