Open Source Collaborative Workspaces Software
Collaborative Workspaces software centralizes team communication, knowledge management, and project coordination into shared digital environments. These tools integrate real-time chat, shared calendars, and collaborative document editing to prevent information from being scattered across different apps. This type of software serves teams and organizations that need to manage internal wikis, task lists, and contact directories. Self-hosting these apps ensures that sensitive company notes and private team discussions remain on internal servers rather than on external corporate platforms.
This page lists 43 open source tools in the Collaborative Workspaces category. The most popular are Excalidraw, AppFlowy and Affine. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or Apache-2.0 license, and 40 offer an official Docker image.
