Offline-first · On-device AI

Progress, together — without the cloud

Nkosoɔ is project management for freelancers, consultants, agency studios and startup squads who need AI-assisted planning without handing their project data to a vendor's server. Your work lives on your device, syncs end-to-end encrypted, and the AI never leaves your phone.

Why Nkosoɔ

A project manager's toolkit, built for teams that can't compromise on privacy

Genuinely local project data

Projects, tasks, dependencies, comments, progress, retrospectives, and everything the AI assistant produces live in a database on your device — not on our servers. There is nothing for a vendor breach to expose, because there is nothing of yours to hold.

AI planning that runs on your phone

An on-device assistant helps you break down work, suggest assignments, check plan adequacy, and answer questions about your projects. Nothing you ask it, and nothing it answers, is ever transmitted anywhere.

End-to-end encrypted team sync

When you share work with a teammate, it's encrypted on your device and decrypted on theirs. The key that opens it is held only by member devices — we cannot read your projects, and we don't try to.

What's inside

Everything a project needs, none of it phoning home

Nkosoɔ combines the day-to-day mechanics of running a project with an AI assistant that actually understands it — dependencies, risk, and all.

Tasks & dependencies

Plan work, assign it, and track progress with dependency tracking that flags conflicts before they become deadline problems.

AI assignment & breakdown

Ask the assistant to break a task down, suggest who's best placed to take it, or sanity-check a plan against your team's real capacity.

Risk detection

A scheduled on-device sweep watches for the patterns that precede a missed deadline, and surfaces them before they compound.

Retrospectives & insights

Close a project with a structured retrospective, and let the assistant carry what it learned into the next plan.

Team roles that scale

From a two-person team to a multi-team program with delegated leads, roles and permissions scale with how you actually work.

Your backup, your passphrase

Export an encrypted backup any time, protected by a passphrase only you know. We never receive it and can't open it.

Who it's for

Built for the teams cloud project trackers weren't built for

Freelance project managers, independent consultants, agency studios, and startup squads who need real AI planning assistance but work with client data, confidentiality agreements, or intermittent connectivity that a always-on cloud tracker doesn't respect.

  • Freelance PMs and consultants — run client projects without ever putting client data on someone else's server.
  • Agency studios — coordinate multiple project teams while keeping each client's work genuinely separate and private.
  • Startup squads — move fast with AI planning help, without adopting another vendor's data-retention terms.
  • Anyone working offline or intermittently connected — the app is built for full offline parity, not a degraded fallback mode.

No tracking. No ad network. No data broker.

Your projects are yours. We built Nkosoɔ so we don't have to ask you to trust us with them.

We can tell you precisely what an attacker who compromised our servers would find — and it isn't your work. Read the full account of what we hold, what we can't see, and why.
