Is Redmine still used?

Redmine remains an actively maintained open-source project management tool with regular releases and a vibrant community, evidenced by version 6.0.5 being released just two months ago and nearly 19,000 commits on its GitHub mirror. 

Despite its niche position, 2.9 % of developers reported using Redmine in the 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, demonstrating a steady, if modest, user base among professional teams. 

The platform’s ecosystem continues to grow, with community analysis in 2024 registering 60 new plugins and active contributions across forums and the core codebase. Moreover, over 250 user reviews on G2 in the past quarter reflect ongoing deployment and feedback from organizations of various sizes.

Since its launch in 2006, Redmine has been adopted across diverse sectors—including software development firms, educational institutions, government agencies, and non-profits—thanks to its flexible, Rails-based architecture and extensive customization options. Notably, even the Ruby language project itself uses Redmine for its issue tracking, further validating its suitability for technical teams that require deep control over workflow and data.
