What is CollabNowPro?

An app for mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, notes and files with an integrated assistant. It works with servers your organization controls itself and runs on iOS, iPadOS, Android and as a web app in the browser.

Can I already buy or download CollabNowPro?

No. CollabNowPro is in development. Since November 10, 2026, the mobile app has been running on a physical tablet; open points include complete acceptance on Android devices, release hardening and an independent security review.

Which servers do I need?

A mail server with IMAP and SMTP and a Nextcloud for calendars, contacts, tasks, notes and files. Exchange accounts are planned as an additional account type. No account with a cloud provider is needed.

Where is my data stored?

On your mail server and in your Nextcloud. On the device, the app keeps only an encrypted cache of recently used data for working without a connection.

What does the private mesh mean?

The app reaches your servers through an encrypted private network to which each device is admitted individually. The servers therefore do not have to be publicly reachable on the internet. When mesh mode is on, the app never falls back to a direct route.

What is the assistant allowed to do?

Only what you approve. Areas determine which calendars, address books, mail folders and lists it may read or change. Every change appears as a card for confirmation, and it sends email only to approved addresses.

Where does my data go when I use the assistant?

The model runs on the device or on hardware owned by the organization and receives only the excerpts approved for the request, never your credentials. An external model service is used only if you explicitly choose one.

Do I have to use the assistant?

No. Every feature is fully usable without the assistant.

Can I talk to the assistant?

That is planned: a full-screen conversation and short voice requests. Today, the assistant in chat is in development.

Does the app work without a connection?

Recently loaded mail, appointments, contacts, tasks and notes remain readable. Changes made without a connection are marked as "pending" and transmitted later with version checks.

What is sealed email?

An option in development: the message is encrypted end to end on the basis of OpenPGP and travels exclusively over the secured network. You see delivery as a check mark. It does not promise absolute anonymity.

What will CollabNowPro cost?

There is a draft pricing with four tiers; it is non-binding, as of November 11, 2026. One rule is fixed: anyone who operates a node uses CollabNowPro for free.

Does CollabNowPro replace Nextcloud?

No. CollabNowPro uses Nextcloud as the server for calendars, contacts, tasks, notes and files and combines them with your mail accounts in one app.

Where are the limits of the protection?

CollabNowPro cannot protect a compromised, unlocked device. Your own servers mean your own responsibility for operation, updates and backups. An independent security review is still pending.
