// EDITOR'S TAKE
Plane is the closest clone in both data model and feel, with cycles, modules, a fast issue view and keyboard shortcuts, and it is the one to try first if Linear's workflow is what you actually want. Huly bundles far more around it, including chat, documents and HR, which is either a bonus or bloat depending on whether you want one tool or ten, while Vikunja is a capable task manager that will not carry roadmap planning.
