Calm collaboration
for your team
Messaging, meetings, voice rooms, and files — all self-hosted on your own infrastructure. No subscriptions. No data brokers.
Everything your team needs
Six integrated workspaces that replace a stack of disconnected tools.
Organized channels for every topic — threaded replies, emoji reactions, inline file previews, and pinned messages keep conversations clear and searchable.
Structured meeting workflows with agendas, live notes, decisions, and action items. Every meeting ends with clarity on what was decided and who owns what.
A shared workspace for all your team's documents and attachments. Browse by channel, search across content, and preview files without leaving Nook.
Drop into persistent voice rooms for quick syncs, or host stage events for larger audiences. Screen sharing, participant management, and recording built in.
A unified Activity Inbox surfaces mentions, reactions, and task updates. Focus mode and quiet hours keep notifications from breaking your flow.
Fine-grained roles and permissions let you control exactly who can see and do what. Manage members, channels, and workspace settings from one place.
Calm by design
Every feature is built to reduce noise, not add to it.
Channels
Organized conversations with threads, reactions, and inline file previews. Every channel stays searchable forever.
Meetings
Structured agendas, live collaborative notes, decisions, and action items. Every meeting produces something useful.
Voice Rooms
Persistent audio rooms for quick syncs and stage events for larger audiences. Drop in and out without scheduling.
Files
Shared document workspace with full-text search across all attachments. Find anything in seconds.
Global Search
Find messages, files, decisions, and people across your entire workspace. Instant results, powerful filters.
Admin & Roles
Fine-grained permissions let you control exactly who can see and do what. Member management at any scale.
Your data stays
on your server
Nook runs entirely on infrastructure you control. No vendor lock-in, no usage-based billing, no third party storing your conversations.
