Colanode
Open-source and local-first collaboration infrastructure
Colanode is an open-source, local-first workspace that brings chat, notes, files, wiki and project management into a single platform, serving as an alternative to Slack and Notion. It is designed for teams that want to keep control of their data, with the option to self-host or use a hosted cloud service.
The platform combines messaging, document and wiki tools, file storage and project management in one environment. It is available as open-source software for self-hosting, through Colanode Cloud, or as a custom deployment on AWS, Azure, GCP or on-premises infrastructure. Custom deployments can include higher storage and file limits, priority support with a dedicated SLA, and custom integrations.
Colanode Cloud is offered in four plans — Seed, Forge, Scale and Titan — each with unlimited users and all features, differing in storage and maximum file size, and each available to start for free. Enterprise and custom deployment options are available for organizations with specific requirements.
