Did you have a look at Chandler (chandlerproject.org)?

Also I'd suggest to see if ACT can work on Linux using Wine as that
would give you some time to find a replacement.

Otherwise you could start your own project or contribute to an
existing project which you think is a good starting point, if you have
some coding skills or if you want to learn to. It's not all that much
difficult. Anyway going that way you'll have to make a list of the
features you need first and give them priorities.
