AND THE FOUNDATION

Not an app. A platform.

desk:NG is built on the five pillars of digital tools for business: productivity, communication, infrastructure, collaboration and development. Every tool above shares the same audit log, identity model, deployment story and security posture. Built once, used everywhere.

Activity log

Persistent audit trail across every tool. Who did what, when. Permission-aware, queryable.

Identity & SSO

Centralised LDAP. Roles, permissions, RADIUS, Kerberos, group sync. One identity across the whole ecosystem.

Admin tools

User management, system settings, monitoring, deployment operations. Built for your IT team.

DevTools

Source control, project management, knowledge base, diagram editors and more. Engineering workflow without leaving the suite.

Content validation

Antivirus scanning on every upload with quarantine vault and spam filters.

Notifications

Single platform notification center. Per-user preferences, mutes, channels. Cross-application awareness.

On-prem ready

Deploy to your own hardware. No cloud dependency. Managed services and remote updates available.

And more

Search, dashboards, integrations, mobile. The platform keeps growing.

THE WHY

Seven vendors. Zero conversation.

Privacy

Your data does not leave the perimeter you control.

Sovereignty

Built for provable, auditable independence and complance. Created by engineers who have shipped self-sufficiency and privacy for two decades.

Control

Self-host the whole suite, or let us run it. Switch later without leaving the platform.

subscriptions to do the work of one. desk:NG collapses mail, chat, calls, files, tasks, calendar, AI, and much more, into a single platform, on your servers, under your audit log.
