Everything you need to know about task session
Find clear answers about self-hosted software, how Task Session works
Task Session is a self-hosted project and task management system designed to help teams, freelancers, and agencies manage tasks, projects, clients, invoicing, and collaboration in one central platform.
It is built for businesses that want full control over their data, better flexibility, and long-term cost savings.
Self-hosted means the software is installed on your own server or hosting environment, not on a third-party company’s servers.
This gives you:
- Full ownership of your data
- More privacy and security
- Complete control over how the system works
In short, you own both the software and the data.
