About MantisBT

MantisBT is an open source bug and issue tracker used through a web browser. It aims to stay simple to start with while still offering enough control for real projects, and lets teams work with clients as well as colleagues.

  • Email notifications — keeps team members and clients informed when an issue is updated, resolved or commented on.
  • Access control — permissions set per project according to each user's role.
  • Customisation — issue fields, notifications and workflows can be adapted.
  • Self-hosting — can be installed on the organisation's own servers, with demo options available to try first.
