Changelog
01The problemFive tabs for one answer

Your tools don't talk to each other. And your data lives in all of them.

A client sends you a question. The answer is split across a Slack thread, a Notion doc, and an Asana task. You open three tabs, compare timestamps, and paste together a reply. Then you log it in your CRM by hand, because that doesn't connect to anything either.

Every one of those tools keeps its own copy of your client data, on servers you don't run, under contracts you have to review one by one.

02The platformDelivered in one shipment

Everything your team needs, in one delivery.

One database, one search bar, one permission system. A task can link to the document it came from, and a client in the CRM can have their own chat channel.

03Data protectionDrawing no. 1: where your data lives

Built for European data rules.

Zioan is developed in Germany and installed on your own server. Host it in the EU and the GDPR question about where your team's data lives has a short answer: with you. We have no access to your conversations, documents, or files.

  1. Access audit on sensitive records

    Personnel files log who accessed which document and when. Access rights are separate from general HR permissions.

  2. Retention and erasure you can prove

    Set retention periods per document type, place a legal hold, export a person's files, then erase them with an audit trail.

  3. Clean offboarding

    Deactivate an account in one step. Access ends immediately, and archived files become read-only.

  4. Working-time records that hold up

    Rules for daily maximums, breaks, and rest periods by country. Confirmed timesheets are stored with checksums and can be countersigned.

  5. Calls on your own media server

    Audio, video, and screen sharing run through your infrastructure, with TURN/STUN support for strict firewalls.

  6. Your legal texts, your branding

    Cookie consent and editable privacy policies are built in. Your company details appear as the issuer on generated documents.

04New this yearVersions 1.9 and 2.0

Working time and HR records, in the same workspace.

Your team already plans, writes, and talks in Zioan. Now they record their hours and request leave there too, and HR keeps personnel files next to it, with stricter access rules.

Version 1.9

Time and attendance

  • Record presence blocks, breaks, and activities like meetings or training
  • Time tracked on tasks flows into the daily record
  • Leave requests with manager approval, half days, and balances
  • Overtime balances with opening balances and payouts
  • Public holidays imported by country and region
  • Monthly timesheets confirmed by the employee and countersigned
  • PDF and CSV exports for working-time records and payroll
Version 2.0

Personnel files and offboarding

  • One record per employee: job title, department, location, emergency contacts
  • Contracts, payslips, sick notes, and references stored securely
  • Employees upload their own certificates, HR sees them
  • Retention policies and access rules per document type
  • Monthly contracts, trust-based working time, and freelancer tracking
  • One-step offboarding that removes people from payroll exports and booking pages

Every release is documented in the public changelog. Twelve releases since November 2025.

05AI, on your termsOptional. Off until you connect it

An assistant that knows your workspace, and how Zioan works.

Use it inside Zioan's chat, or connect the AI tool you already use through Zioan's MCP server. Either way it works with your real documents, tasks, and clients, acts on your behalf, and only sees what you're allowed to see.

In the app

Claude in your chat

Claude joins your Zioan chat as a coworker with access to your documents, tasks, CRM, calendar, and conversations. The Zioan Companion connects it from your machine, using your own Claude subscription.

  • Renders tables, charts, diagrams, and collapsible summaries in the chat
  • Creates tasks and documents straight from the answer
  • Answers questions about hours, leave, and balances
From any AI tool

MCP server with 170+ tools

Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenCode, or any other MCP-compatible CLI or assistant. It can read and change your workspace for you: documents, boards, calendar, CRM, chat, files, and notes.

  • Built-in help on every feature, so it can explain where things are and walk you through them step by step
  • Does the task for you when you'd rather not click through it
  • One token for all your devices, revocable at any time

Try asking

  • Draft a proposal from last week's meeting notes
  • Find every task related to this client
  • Log a follow-up with this client for Friday
