Redmine is a web-based project management application for teams coordinating software development and other work across multiple projects. Built with Ruby on Rails, it runs as a server application rather than a conventional Windows desktop tool. One installation can host separate projects and subprojects, with each project configured for its own members, permissions and working features. Projects can be public or restricted to their members.
Work is organized through a configurable issue tracker. Administrators can define issue types, statuses and role-based workflows, while teams use issues to record work and follow its progress. Roles can be assigned differently for each project, and permissions determine which actions members may perform. Custom fields allow teams to capture project-specific details on issues, time entries, projects and users. Dates recorded on issues feed Redmine's Gantt charts and calendar, helping teams review schedules and deadlines.
Each project can include a wiki, discussion forums, news, documents and files, with modules enabled or disabled to suit its needs. Redmine also provides time tracking and email notifications, and project updates can be followed through feeds. Existing source-control repositories can be connected to projects; users can browse repository contents, search changesets, inspect diffs and view line annotations. Supported systems include Git, Subversion, CVS, Mercurial, Bazaar and Darcs. Issues can also be created by email, and multiple LDAP authentication sources can be used.
Redmine suits development teams that need project planning, task tracking and repository activity in one web interface, as well as organizations managing related projects with different participants and access rules. Its project-level configuration keeps tools and information relevant to each team, while a shared installation offers administrators a central place to manage roles and projects. User self-registration is available, and the interface supports multiple languages.
The application is cross-platform and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite databases. It can run on Windows when Ruby and the necessary server environment are available; it is not a standalone desktop program. Redmine is free software, and its web-based design lets project members access it through a browser. The Windows download listing identifies Windows XP through Windows 10, but deployment depends on setting up the application and its server requirements.
