Stop paying rent on your team's tools.

Zioan runs on any VPS, cloud instance, or private infrastructure, as long as it has Linux and Docker. Our install script handles the rest. If you run into trouble, email us and we'll either walk you through it or install it for you. We also offer guidance and hosting packages to match every team size and need. Self-hosting doesn't mean hurdles and headaches anymore.

Zioan includes a built-in MCP server, an open standard that connects your workspace to AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others that support the protocol. Send chat messages, create and search documents, manage tasks on boards, update CRM clients, schedule calendar events, and search across everything, all by asking in plain language. There's also a built-in help system so the AI understands every feature and can act like a private tutor, especially useful when learning the platform or onboarding new team members. You bring your AI. Zioan just works with it.

Everything lives in one database. Hit Ctrl+K and search across chat messages, documents, tasks, and code snippets in one place instead of switching between five different search boxes. Your CRM client records are connected to their chat channels, calendar events, and shared files. Task boards track time estimates vs. actual hours without exporting to a spreadsheet. Guest portals share exactly the resources you choose, controlled by one permission system. You stop copying context between apps because there's only one app.

Your software keeps working with all its features. If you want continued updates and priority support, renew for €199/year. If you skip renewal, nothing breaks. You just stay on the version you have.

Register at updates.zioan.com, get a Client ID, and run the install script on your server. You get the full platform for 30 days with no credit card. After that, it pauses until you buy a license. There's also a live demo at demo.zioan.com with passwordless guest access and limited features. Contact us to book a full walkthrough if you'd like to see everything.

That's exactly what Zioan is built for. Real-time chat with channels, direct messages, audio and video calls, and screen sharing. Rich documents with version history. Kanban boards with time tracking and story points. A CRM with client portals, a shared calendar, and code snippet management. Everything searchable from one place. Teams that switch stop paying for three to five separate subscriptions and stop losing context between them.

Zioan is self-hosted, so your data never leaves your server. Host in the EU and you're already ahead of most SaaS tools. The platform includes a customizable cookie consent banner, editable privacy and terms of service policies, and built-in audit trails. We also offer cost-effective hosting in Germany if you want a GDPR-compliant setup without managing your own infrastructure. You control what data is collected, where it's stored, and who can access it.

Yes. Upload your own logo, customize the login page layout and content, and configure the main dashboard to match how your team works. You can also toggle features on and off, so if you don't use the CRM or code snippets, they simply disappear from the interface. Your team and clients only see what's relevant to them.

Create a guest account and share exactly what they need: a workspace, specific documents, or individual boards. Guests get their own login page and a dedicated chat channel. They see only what you've shared, nothing else. Unlimited guests at no extra cost.
