Boardly on Linux
Build from the open source or run the desktop build on Linux — same pay-once license, no telemetry.
Setup on Linux
Download the installer
Download the latest Boardly installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/boardly-kanban-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Boardly runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Boardly is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Boardly on Linux — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/boardly-kanban-mvp, always. $49 buys the packaged installer, updates and setup support.
How do team members log in?
One shared password protects the whole install — there are no per-user accounts, permissions or assignee fields yet. That's fine for small teams on a trusted server or VPN; if you need granular roles and member management, Trello still wins there.
