LocalPM: Free Browser-Based Agile Project Management
LocalPM is a free agile project management tool that runs entirely in your browser. There is no account to create, no server to configure, and no data ever leaves your device. LocalPM stores everything locally, which makes it a good fit for sensitive client work and personal projects you would rather keep off third-party servers. After your first visit, it opens and works without an internet connection, and you can install it as an app.
What you can do with LocalPM
Manage multiple projects with Kanban boards, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and epics. Run daily standups and retrospectives, track bugs alongside feature work, and review velocity and work-distribution reports. You get the core workflow of tools like Jira or Trello without the overhead, cost, or vendor lock-in.
Feature overview
- Projects: keep separate work streams apart, each with a name, description, and a short uppercase project key.
- Stories, bugs, tasks, and spikes: every work item has a type, status, priority, story points, assignee name, labels, and acceptance criteria.
- Kanban board: move cards across four columns (To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done) with a mouse, a touch screen, or the keyboard. With a sprint active, the board shows only that sprint's work.
- Backlog: see every story in one list and filter by status or priority. Edit stories from here.
- Sprints: plan a sprint, start it, and complete it. Each project has one active sprint at a time.
- Epics: group related stories under a colored epic with story and point totals and a progress bar.
- Team: list members with a role, avatar color, and daily capacity in hours for reference.
- Standups: log what was done yesterday, what is planned today, and any blockers for the active sprint.
- Retrospectives: record what went well, what to improve, and action items for a sprint.
- Reports: a velocity chart of committed versus completed points per sprint, plus distribution of work by status and priority.
Getting started in five steps
- Create a project and give it a short key, such as the client or product name.
- Add stories, bugs, tasks, and spikes to the backlog with points and priorities so the most important work is easy to find.
- Plan a sprint with a name and goal, assign the stories you can realistically finish to it, then start the sprint.
- Use the Kanban board to drag work from To Do to Done, and log daily standups as you go.
- Complete the sprint, run a retrospective, and review LocalPM reports to see how your velocity trends over time.
