- Project management - organize information with structured data, custom fields and dynamic views (table, kanban, calendar) - similar to AirTable
- File storage - store, share, and manage files effortlessly with granular permissions
As a local-first application, Colanode offers full offline support, allowing you to work even when you’re not connected to the internet or the server is not available. It also provides a great user experience where everything is loaded instantly since the data are stored locally in your device (no network requests needed).
The Colanode desktop client can connect to multiple servers simultaneously, enabling users to use different accounts across different workspaces. You can self-host the server in any environment using Docker, Postgres, Redis, and any S3-compatible storage.
