TinyCld puts your whole office in one quiet app — mail, real documents, spreadsheets, files, calendar, and contacts, together and yours. No ads, no algorithm, no infinite scroll. Just the tools you actually use every day. WHAT'S INSIDE • Mail — Threaded conversations, folders, and search. Tracking pixels are blocked and external images load through a server-side proxy, so senders can't see your IP or know when you opened a message. • Docs — Real .docx documents on your phone. Format, comment, and collaborate with headings, lists, tables, and suggesting mode. • Sheets — Spreadsheets that actually work. Formulas, pivots, and .xlsx round-trip, right from your pocket. • Drive — Files with versioning, thumbnails, link sharing, and role-based permissions. Yours, not the cloud's. • Calendar — Shared calendars, recurring events, RSVPs, and reminders. A week that looks like a week. • Contacts — A shared directory with favorites and notes, in one quiet place. YOUR CLOUD, YOUR RULES TinyCld is open source and self-hostable. Run it on your own server in about fifteen minutes, or use a hosted instance. Either way, you keep the keys. OPEN STANDARDS, NO LOCK-IN Mail syncs over IMAP and SMTP. Calendars over CalDAV. Contacts over CardDAV. Files over WebDAV. Documents and spreadsheets round-trip as .docx and .xlsx. Keep using Apple Mail, Calendar, and Finder — or Word and Excel — alongside if you want, and walk away with everything any time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No analytics. No tracking pixels. No data mining. When you self-host, nothing leaves your server. The app does what you ask, and nothing else. ONE APP, ONE LOGIN Switch between mail, docs, sheets, and files without bouncing between apps or tabs. One place for the work you do every day. FREE FOREVER $0 per user, no seat counting, no upsell. Open source under AGPL.
