Spirex information
What is Spirex?
Spirex is a free, open-source project management tool and Jira alternative for engineering teams. It covers the full delivery loop — sprint boards, backlog planning, epics/stories/subtasks, a custom workflow editor, time tracking, and honest reporting that sums the time actually logged rather than showing an estimate as fact.
A full-fidelity importer brings entire Jira projects across, including issues, comments, epic links, attachments, and images embedded in descriptions.
The core is open source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable via Docker Compose (React, Node/Express, Prisma, Postgres, S3/MinIO). An optional, bring-your-own-key AI layer drafts tickets from a sentence using your own Anthropic key or any OpenAI-compatible model through a LiteLLM proxy. A hosted cloud version with a free-forever tier (up to 10 seats) is also available.
