Most project management tools treat your file storage as an integration. We think that's backwards – which is why we started from the platform instead of bolting onto it.
Every project management tool eventually runs into the same problem: the work lives in one place and the files live in another. You attach a link, someone edits the wrong copy, and by the third week nobody is sure which version is current.

Starting from the platform, not the feature
Nextcloud has spent more than a decade becoming a genuine alternative to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, backed by thousands of contributors. It already handles the hard parts: identity, permissions, file versioning, and sync across every device your team owns.
Building on a mature platform means inheriting a decade of decisions we didn't have to make ourselves.
That inheritance is the whole point. We don't have to invent a permissions model, or convince you to move your files somewhere new, or explain why your calendar doesn't sync. It already works, and our job is to make project work feel native inside it.
What this changes in practice
When a task references a document, it references the actual document — not a copy, not a link to a copy. When you assign work with a deadline, it lands in the same calendar your team already checks every morning.
A few things stop being problems entirely:
No more hunting for the current version of a file across two systems.
Permissions are set once, in one place, and apply everywhere — the access rules you already defined for a folder carry through to the tasks, comments, and timelines attached to it, so a contractor who can see one project never accidentally gains sight of another.
Deadlines and meetings live in the same calendar, not two competing ones.
Onboarding a new colleague means one account, not five.
Where we're going next
We're shipping in three stages:
- 1.
The theme: An interface that matches the maturity of the platform underneath it.
- 2.
Nexeno Projects: Boards, timelines, and reporting built natively into Nextcloud.
- 3.
Deeper integrations: Connecting the tools your organization already runs alongside it.
All three follow the same principle: work with what Nextcloud already does well, and fill the gaps that keep teams reaching for a second tool.
