Beskos
Source-available: read it, run it on your own server, keep your data

Everything your team works with, in one application.

Mail, calendar, contacts, files, documents, meetings, chat, boards and wiki in a single account. The whole product is on GitHub: run it on your own server for nothing, or wait for the service we host in Europe.

  • Source available on GitHub

Open source

The whole product is on GitHub. Run it this afternoon.

Beskos is a new product, and the open edition is how it gets found. There is no trial to start, no seat to buy and no call to book: clone the repository, bring a server, and the ten apps are yours for as many people as you like.

  • Nothing held back

    The edition you run for free is the product, not a sample of it. Mail, calendar, files, meetings, chat, boards and the wiki, with every security feature included.

  • It does not expire

    Business Source Licence 1.1, and each released version turns into Apache 2.0 four years after its release. Nothing can be taken back from an instance already running.

  • Your server, your data

    It runs on your machine, under your jurisdiction, with no account here and nothing calling home. We only know you exist if you write to us.

02

Scope

A complete workspace, not a mail service

European alternatives usually cover part of the working day: encrypted mail for individuals, or file storage somebody has to host and maintain. Beskos covers the whole of it — mail, chat, boards, calendar, files, documents, contacts, meetings, notes and wiki — in one managed account, on your own domain.

Mail

Mailboxes on your domain, with rules, templates, scheduling and snooze.

Meetings

Video in the browser, screen sharing, recording and annotations.

Calendar

Month, week and day views, invitations, availability and conflict warnings.

Contacts

Records for people and companies, in groups the whole team shares.

Drive

Team files with controlled sharing and full version history.

Documents

Word, Excel and PowerPoint edited in the browser, formatting intact.

Chat

Team channels, direct messages, threads and webhooks.

Boards

Kanban wired to mail and tasks, with WIP limits.

Notes

Meeting notes shared with whoever was there, and private notes that stay yours.

New

Wiki

A knowledge base by spaces, wired to the AI assistant.

03

One product

The difference between a bundle and an application

Five tools from five vendors communicate through integrations somebody has to configure and maintain. Here the connections are part of the product, because everything shares the same database — and the same jurisdiction.

01

Attachment → Drive

Large files become a Drive link, with controlled sharing.

02

Email → Task

A message becomes a Kanban card in a single action.

03

Event → Meeting

A video room is created directly from a calendar event.

04

Wiki → Assistant

The assistant answers from the team's knowledge base.

03

AI assistant

An assistant that does not export your data

The assistant is part of the product and works inside the application, with the context of mail, calendar and the team wiki. The models are open-source and served on European infrastructure: content is not disclosed to the organisations that developed them, and is not used to train them.

Assistant and wiki indexing run on European infrastructure. An organisation can disable the assistant for all of its users.

Summarise this thread and suggest a short reply

Assistant

01

Drafts and summarises mail

Produces replies in your register and condenses long threads.

02

Prepares meetings

Generates agendas and turns notes into concrete action items.

03

Calendar in plain language

“Lunch with Marta on Thursday at one” is enough to create the event.

04

Answers from your wiki

Grounded in the team's own knowledge base, through semantic retrieval.

05

Leaving

The exit is part of the product.

The cost of changing provider is what keeps most organisations where they are. These are the terms on which data leaves Beskos.

Export without asking

Mail over IMAP, calendars as iCalendar, contacts as vCard or CSV, files as ZIP — including whole folders. No request, no waiting period, no export fee.

The domain and the sending reputation remain yours

Your own SPF, DKIM, DMARC and reverse DNS. If you leave, mail keeps working at the next provider under the same domain.

Retention and deletion in writing

Retention periods, deletion on termination and breach notification are set out in the data processing agreement, not in a support reply.

Nothing to cancel

There is no contract and no seat count: the edition you run is free, and it keeps running whether or not we are still here. A commitment period is not what should keep a customer.

Licensing

Free to run. Nothing else is on sale yet.

Beskos is new. The whole product is on GitHub and free to run on your own server, for as many people as you like — that is what exists today. Two paid shapes are coming, and neither has a price until it does.
