General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
After years of using bloated, overcomplicated project management platforms that distracted from actual work, we built Kaneo to be different.
The problem with most tools isn't that they lack features—it's that they have too many. Every notification, every unnecessary button, every complex workflow pulls your team away from what matters: building great products.
We believe the best tools are invisible. They should amplify your team's natural workflow, not force you to adapt to theirs. Kaneo is built on the principle that less is more—every feature exists because it solves a real problem, not because it looks impressive in a demo.
Learn more about Kaneo's features and capabilities in our documentation.
