One workspace.
Your server.

Open-source app that replaces your scattered SaaS tools with a single self-hosted workspace. Mail, boards, docs, chat, and more — all under your control.

Eight tools, one app.

Install only what you need. Each tool can be shared with different collaborators, or kept private.

Mail

IMAP/SMTP email client with rich text compose, contacts, and threaded conversations.

Board

Kanban boards with drag-and-drop columns, cards, comments, and attachments.

Docs

Rich text documents you can share and edit together with your team.

Chat

Real-time messaging with typing indicators, threaded replies, and file sharing.

Todos

Task lists with due dates, assignments, comments, and file attachments.

Files

File storage with folders, previews, and sharing via public links.

Calendar

CalDAV-compatible calendar with recurring events and standalone local mode.

Room

Video conferencing powered by LiveKit, without leaving your workspace.

Everything you'd expect, and then some.

Command palette

Hit Cmd+K to instantly jump to any tool, page, or action without touching the mouse.

Keyboard shortcuts

Navigate, compose, and act from the keyboard. Every tool ships with a full shortcut set and a ? help overlay.

Real-time notifications

Activity dots appear on tools with new content since your last visit. Pushed live over ActionCable — no polling.

Two-factor auth

TOTP-based 2FA compatible with any authenticator app. Enable per-account for an extra layer of security.

Collaborative sharing

Invite people as owners or collaborators per tool. Permissions are explicit and instance-based, never global.

Mobile-friendly

Responsive layout that works on any screen size. Add to your home screen as a PWA for native-app feel.

Your data, your rules.

Dobase runs on your server. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party data sharing. One Rails app, one SQLite database, one Docker container. That is the entire stack.

  • Self-hosted on any VPS
  • Fully open source
