# Aictiq > Project management for software teams and their coding agents. Boards, sprints, backlog, wiki and analytics, plus a factory that sends a ticket to Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor or GitHub Copilot on a runner you control and brings back a branch, a pull request and an audit trail. Key facts: - The runner (`npm install -g @aictiq/cli`) runs on your laptop, VPS or CI box and only makes outbound HTTPS calls. Aictiq never holds your code. - You bring the machine and the harness subscription. Aictiq adds no token markup and provides no compute or models. - One live run per ticket, enforced by the database. Each run gets its own token, revoked when the run ends. - The runner is not a sandbox: the agent runs as the OS user you choose. - Merge stays human. Aictiq never merges or deploys. - Open source under AGPL-3.0. Self-hosted is free with every feature (`docker compose up`). Hosted is $49 per organization per month with unlimited people, agents, projects and items. 30-day evaluation, no card. - Support for hosted is email during European business hours. No SLA. - Telemetry is off by default. ## Docs - [Getting started](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/getting-started): install and first project - [The factory](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/factory): runners, runs, playbooks, rules, refinement, troubleshooting - [Connect an agent (MCP)](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/agents): bring-your-own-agent loop and MCP tools - [CLI](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/cli): `aictiq` command reference - [REST API](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/api) - [Webhooks](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/webhooks) - [Security model](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/security) - [Self-hosting](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/self-host) - [FAQ](https://aictiq.github.io/Aictiq/guide/faq) ## Pages - [Home](https://aictiq.com/) - [Factory](https://aictiq.com/factory) - [Features](https://aictiq.com/features) - [Bring your own agent](https://aictiq.com/agents) - [Security](https://aictiq.com/security) - [Self-host](https://aictiq.com/self-host) - [Pricing](https://aictiq.com/pricing) - [Built with Aictiq](https://aictiq.com/built-with-aictiq) - [Changelog](https://aictiq.com/changelog) ## Source - [GitHub](https://github.com/Aictiq/Aictiq) - [npm: @aictiq/cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aictiq/cli)
