Our own products

Software we built ourselves — and run ourselves

Two platforms developed in-house: from the architecture and the code to running them on our own servers in Germany.

Taktos – Kanban board with tasks in the columns To do, In progress and Done

What sets us apart

AI access through our own MCP server

ChatGPT and Claude work directly in the board: creating, moving and commenting on tasks and querying project status — without ever opening the interface.

Modules tailored to each company

Features are enabled per company — from the site diary to scheduling. Whatever a business needs on top, we build as a dedicated module: the platform was designed for exactly that.

What it does

  • Boards, columns and tasks with checklists, comments and attachments
  • Sharing per board, column or individual task — staff only see what they are meant to see
  • Time tracking, recurring tasks and automations
  • Notifications via web push and Telegram, plus a site diary for construction projects

The technology behind it

A REST API built on Laravel (PHP 8.4) with a Vue 3 single-page app on the front end. Changes appear for everyone instantly — over a persistent WebSocket connection instead of repeatedly polling the server. The app keeps working without a connection: actions go into a local queue and are synchronised on reconnect, including conflict detection when two people have edited the same card.

SpamProtec spamprotec.de

Real-time spam protection for existing mailboxes — no MX change, no new address, no installation.

SpamProtec – real-time spam protection that catches spam before it reaches the inbox

What sets us apart

AI checks the content — fully local on request

Borderline cases are assessed by an AI on their actual content instead of merely running through rigid filter lists. Personal data is masked before every AI check, and a safety gate aborts if that cannot be done reliably. Anyone who wants no external check at all switches on strictly local mode: then only our own detection engine on the server decides — without any external service.

Rules on four levels: global, company, user, mailbox

A company defines allow and block rules centrally for every mailbox, while individual users add their own. The levels are inherited cleanly — from the global default down to the single account.

Every correction protects every mailbox

When a message is restored or reported as spam, the system learns from it permanently. New campaigns spotted at one mailbox are stopped faster at all the others.

What it does

  • Connects via IMAP or Microsoft 365 — the mailbox stays exactly where it is
  • Every new message is checked within seconds, spam is moved aside automatically
  • Quarantine with restore: nothing is deleted, everything stays traceable
  • Multi-tenant — with individual rules per company, user and mailbox

The technology behind it

A Python back end built on FastAPI. A dedicated service keeps an open IMAP connection for every mailbox and is notified by the mail server the moment a message arrives — which is why checks take seconds rather than minutes. Detection runs in stages: our own rule set, then spam and virus scanning, then AI assessment of the borderline cases. Personal data is stripped out locally beforehand; on request, detection runs entirely locally without any external AI.

SchlüsselBot schluesselbot.de

Send and receive confidential data securely — encrypted in the browser, no account needed, deleted automatically.

SchlüsselBot – send and receive confidential data encrypted

What sets us apart

Encrypted before anything leaves the device

Encryption happens in the sender's browser — only the unreadable ciphertext ever reaches the server. Not even we could open the content, because the key never leaves the sender's device.

Opened with a passkey instead of a password

Recipients identify themselves with Face ID, a fingerprint or their device PIN. There is no password that could be shared, guessed or intercepted.

What it does

  • Send a message or file: create a link, done — the recipient needs no account
  • A permanent inbox for the other direction: clients, patients or applicants send securely to you
  • Open once, then gone — the transfer deletes itself after retrieval or expiry
  • Embeddable form for your own website, data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR in the business plan

The technology behind it

A PHP application with its own process pool on our server in Germany; the data lives in a SQLite database. The actual encryption runs in the browser via the system's cryptography interface: AES-GCM for the content, PBKDF2 for key derivation. The server only ever sees ciphertext and has no idea what it is storing. Sign-in uses WebAuthn – passkeys instead of passwords.
