swCollab — collaboration and work management
Stop managing the gaps between your tools.
Documentation, project tracking, files, requirements, risks, tests and decisions in one connected system.
For wherever sovereignty matters
Your work. Connected. Controlled.
Bring your company’s knowledge, projects, files and secure workspace access together — without giving up control of your data.
Self-host on your infrastructure, or use our managed hosting for swCollab.
What it is
Two products. One controlled workspace.
swServer — secure browser workspace
Give people a workspace, not your network.
A fast, secure browser workspace for employees, contractors and recovery situations: files, office, communication and approved apps behind one identity.
swDesktop — prefer a native app? The native desktop client connects to swCollab, swServer or both on Windows, macOS and Linux. About swDesktop
Why it is different
The tools know about each other. And you decide where they run.
Connected
Documentation, tasks, requirements, tests and files share the same underlying data.
Current
Change the work once. Every page and view that shows it stays up to date.
Traceable
Follow a requirement through the work that implements it, the test that verifies it and the evidence.
Controlled
You choose the infrastructure, the region and who operates it.

Who it is for
Built for organisations that need control without giving up modern collaboration.
- Engineering and technology teams
- Regulated organisations
- Infrastructure and project organisations
- Public-sector organisations
- Financial and professional services
- Companies that work with external vendors and contractors
- Organisations with data-residency requirements
Control
Your workspace. Your infrastructure. Your choice.
Control backed by architecture, not just policy.
Run it where you choose
Your server, your cloud provider, the region you require, or our managed hosting for swCollab.
Know where your data is
When a customer, regulator or auditor asks where the information lives, you answer in one sentence.
Administrators administer the platform, not the data
Protected spaces use their own keys. An administrator does not automatically read your content.
No phone-home dependency
A running deployment sends no telemetry and does not need to reach us.
Code review for high security needs
Enterprise customers with high security requirements can review the source code.
Keep what you built
Your data is in a standard database and object storage, not in a proprietary export format.
A new vendor?
You shouldn’t have to depend on us forever.
Your deployment runs on infrastructure you control. Your information lives in standard storage. A running deployment does not need to reach us, and Enterprise customers with high security requirements can review the source code.
You do not have to trust us with permanent control of your workplace. Your business should not stop because your software vendor does.
Deployment and pricing
Two ways to run it.
Managed
We operate it for you.
Available for swCollab today. We host, patch and back up your deployment. You manage your users.
Self-hosted
You operate it. You license the software.
You run it on your own server or cloud and buy an annual licence. You supply the infrastructure.
Planned pricing. Nothing is for sale yet: paid plans open when the company is registered in Switzerland. Until then you can try both products in the live demo, and swCollab hosted is free in public beta.
| Plan | Managed | Self-hosted licence (annual) |
|---|---|---|
| swCollab Free Core modules, capped | €0 | €0 |
| swCollab Team Knowledge, files, work management | €8 per user per month | From €490 a year, by company size |
| swCollab Business + requirements and traceability | €18 per user per month | From €990 a year, by company size |
| swServer Priced for the server, not per seat | Not available yet | Annual licence, on request |
| swDesktop Native client | Free | Free |
swCollab hosted is in public beta at swcollab.cc: the Free plan is open now. See the swCollab seat bands.
Built on proven, self-hostable foundations
We don't reinvent identity or storage engines. Files, office, calendar, contacts and chat are first-party — so no third-party suite sits between you and your data.
See it working.
No presentation required. Open the live workspace and explore it yourself.
