qwerk · an app for groups
As easy to start a data cooperative as to start a chat group.
A stokvel, a clinic, a school, a farm, a team, a family. In qwerk your group gets a hub: chats, docs and feeds in one private place that the group owns.
Three doors, one private place
Everything a group says, writes and follows
-
Chats
Rooms and threads for your group, read only by the people in them.
-
Docs
Pages you write together and keep: minutes, rules, records, forms.
-
Feeds
Your hub’s own stream, and what you choose to follow from outside.
Why it is different
Most apps keep your data on their computers. qwerk does not.
-
Local-first
Your phone holds your data. No signal? Keep working; it catches up when you have one.
-
End-to-end encrypted
Only your group holds the keys. Not us, not a company, not a government.
-
Your hub is yours
Free software, open code, your members, your rules. Nobody can take it away.
For co-ops
Members, roles, invite links and a commons
A hub is born with an admin and a roster. Add roles, send invite links, open a sign-up page, and share what the group chooses to share.
Honest note
qwerk is an alpha
It is built by a small team at Wamoja, with the code open on Codeberg. Things change daily and the security is not yet audited, so keep sensitive data out until beta.
