CoWorkboard on a phone: a board with lists and cards
Smartphone with a CoWorkboard board

Too many
subscriptions.

Every seat costs every month. The team grows, so does the bill.

Your data sits with the provider. You don’t decide where.

The subscription keeps running. Even long after the project is over.

One board.
Your hosting.

CoWorkboard brings what you know from Kanban services to your own web space: boards, lists, cards, checklists, automation, planner, calendar and table. You upload the files by FTP, click through the installer, and you’re ready in about ten minutes. No Docker, no server of your own needed.

Right in the middle of the workday.

In the team, in the home office, in the workshop or on the go: the same board, on your own hosting.

  • One board per client

    One board per client, one team, one shared status. Assign cards, set deadlines, tick off checklists. Anyone who should just follow along joins as a viewer and needs no seat.

  • Everyone on the same page

    Everyone works on the same board, wherever they sit. You see who’s online right now, and get a notification when something changes.

  • On your phone too

    Boards, cards and checklists also run on your phone. Open it in the browser and add it to your home screen like an app.

  • Orders and deadlines

    Orders, appointments and checklists on the tablet in the workshop. Recurring cards remind you of maintenance and deadlines.

  • Claude works alongside you

    Connect Claude to your board. Claude reads cards, creates new ones, moves and comments on them, with the rights of the connected person.

  • A single seat is enough

    A single seat is enough: your own board on your own hosting, no subscription. You invite clients as viewers.

A board for
every purpose.

Project management

Tasks in lists, deadlines in the calendar, checklists on every card. Everyone sees what’s coming up and who’s on it.

Editorial calendar

Posts as cards from idea to publication. The calendar shows the dates, labels stand for the channels.

Customer relations

Custom fields for company, value and status, labels for the stage. Sort as a table, export as CSV.

Onboarding

From a template, a board with checklists, owners and deadlines is created for each new person.

Meetings

One card per topic, decisions as comments, choices settled by poll. Afterwards everything stays readable.

IT & support

Requests from n8n, Zapier or Shortcuts can drop straight into the inbox as cards, automatically.

Processes & approvals

Rules move cards, set deadlines and assign people the moment something changes.

Knowledge base

Descriptions with images and formatting, attachments up to 50 MB and a search that finds everything.

Idea collection

Ideas as cards, vote with a thumbs-up or a poll, drag the best ones into their own list.

Deadlines & bookkeeping

Recurring cards remind you of monthly tasks, amount and invoice number live in custom fields.

Clubs & volunteering

Volunteers join the team via a link. Anyone who should just follow along is a viewer.

Personal tasks

Show only my cards, keyboard shortcuts and notifications on your own schedule: a good tool solo, too.

★★★★★

Ich nutze CoWorkboard für meine Projekte und bin sehr zufrieden. Es hilft mir, Aufgaben, Ideen und Absprachen übersichtlich zu organisieren und den Überblick zu behalten.
Besonders wertvoll ist für mich, dass die Zusammenarbeit mit Schule und Therapeuten dadurch viel einfacher wird. Alle können hand in hand arbeiten, Informationen besser teilen und sehen, was gerade wichtig ist. Das spart Zeit, schafft Klarheit und macht die gemeinsame Arbeit deutlich strukturierter.
Für Projekte, bei denen mehrere Menschen zusammenarbeiten, ist CoWorkboard eine große Hilfe.
Klare Empfehlung.

Ich hab das CoWork Board von Mike jetzt eine Weile im Einsatz und muss sagen: Genau solche Tools mag ich.

Kein unnötiger Schnickschnack, keine 47 Funktionen, die man irgendwann mal brauchen könnte – sondern einfach ein übersichtliches Board, mit dem man vernünftig arbeiten und den Überblick behalten kann.

Was mir besonders gefällt: Man kommt rein und versteht eigentlich sofort, wie es funktioniert. Und genau das ist für mich bei solchen Tools Gold wert. 😄

Es macht die Zusammenarbeit einfacher, bringt Struktur rein und spart einem ganz nebenbei dieses berühmte „Wo war das nochmal?“ – das vermutlich jeder kennt.

Unterm Strich: Durchdacht, angenehm unkompliziert und wirklich hilfreich im Alltag.

Klare Empfehlung – und dafür gibt’s von mir volle 5 Sterne! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Frequently asked questions

Smartphone with a CoWorkboard board

What does CoWorkboard cost?

Single seat 149 €, 5 seats 646 €, 10 + 1 seats 1,490 €, each one-time and including 19% German VAT. You pay for every seat once, there’s no subscription per person. Additional seats later cost €149 per seat. Updates are included in the first year, after that the update package extends it for €79 a year. The differences are under Pricing.

What do I need for this?

Web hosting with Apache or LiteSpeed and PHP 8.1 or newer, an empty MySQL or MariaDB database, and your own domain or subdomain with SSL, for example board.yourcompany.com. CoWorkboard itself runs at All-Inkl; most hosts with Apache or LiteSpeed meet the requirements.

How does the installation work?

Upload the files by FTP, open install.php in your browser, fill in the form, add a cron job, delete install.php. That takes about ten minutes. An installation guide and an installation video come with every package.

How do I get updates?

CoWorkboard reports new versions itself. One click downloads the signed package, backs up the previous state, installs files and database changes, and rolls back on error. Updates are included in the first year; after that the update package extends the period, without it your installation just keeps running unchanged. For the check, your installation only sends the licence key, domain and version number.

Where is my data?

Database, attachments and AI keys sit on your hosting. I have no access to your boards. If someone uses the AI feature, the selected text goes to the provider that person entered themselves.

How many people can work together?

As many as your licence has seats: 1, 5 or 11. A seat is an account with its own email address. Anyone who should just follow along gets the viewer role and needs no seat. Once all seats are taken, the app won’t allow more accounts.

Ask a question.

No cart, no subscription: just tell me briefly what you need. I’ll get back to you within one business day with an invoice and licence key.
