The open-source, self-hosted alternative to Google Workspace
Notes, calendar, email, files, photos, and a private AI assistant — all on your hardware. No cloud. No subscriptions. Your data stays yours.
No spam. We'll email you once when it's ready.
The engine
OpenClaw is the open-source AI agent runtime — the brain. Micelclaw is the product layer — the dashboard, the integrations, the experience you actually use every day.
The problem
Your notes in one app. Calendar in another. Files in the cloud. Photos on a NAS. AI behind a paywall. Nothing talks to each other — and none of it is truly yours.
Notes, email, calendar, contacts, files, photos, diary, bookmarks — all unified in a single dashboard. No more context-switching between a dozen tabs, remembering which app has what, or paying for separate subscriptions that don't talk to each other.
Semantic search finds what you mean, not just what you type. A knowledge graph automatically connects people, topics, and events across all your data. Daily digests surface what matters before you ask — all powered by local AI models, nothing leaves your machine.
Install and open — that's it. No YAML files to edit, no Docker Compose to debug, no weekend tutorials to follow. Micelclaw handles database setup, service orchestration, SSL certificates, and AI model management automatically. You focus on your work, not on infrastructure.
Runs on any PC, mini-PC, Raspberry Pi, or NAS you already own. Your data stays on your network — no cloud dependency, no vendor lock-in, no surprise price hikes. You're in control, always. Core features are free forever, no strings attached.
Connect your Google Calendar, IMAP email, CardDAV contacts, and CalDAV calendars. Micelclaw syncs bidirectionally — your data flows in, stays local, and the AI understands all of it. No migration needed; keep using what works while Micelclaw adds the intelligence layer.
Micelclaw grows with you. Install apps from the marketplace — office suites, VPN management, terminal access, media players, finance tools — or build your own. AI agents can learn new skills to automate your specific workflows, from triaging emails to generating weekly reports.

Frequently asked questions
Notes (Notion, Obsidian), Calendar (Google Calendar), Email (Gmail), Files (Google Drive, Dropbox), Photos (Google Photos, iCloud), Contacts, Bookmarks, and Diary — all in one self-hosted app. Instead of paying for separate subscriptions that don't talk to each other, you get a single dashboard where everything is connected and AI understands all your data.
Yes. Sync your Google Calendar, Gmail (IMAP), and Google Contacts (CardDAV) into Micelclaw. Your data stays on your machine. You can stop depending on Google without losing your history — Micelclaw pulls everything in and keeps it local.
Core features are free forever and open source. Notes, calendar, email, files, contacts, bookmarks, and diary — all included. The Pro tier adds AI-powered features: semantic search, knowledge graph, entity extraction, voice assistant, and daily AI digests.
Any x86 PC or mini-PC with 4 GB of RAM or more. Works on bare metal Linux or Docker. Raspberry Pi 5 for light use. No GPU required — AI models run on CPU via Ollama. A retired laptop, a $150 mini-PC, or a NAS you already own will do.
A NAS stores files. Micelclaw is a productivity operating system: notes, calendar, email, photos with face recognition, AI-powered semantic search, a personal knowledge graph, and 40+ managed services (Jellyfin, qBittorrent, Firefly III, and more) — all from one dashboard. Think of it as a NAS with a brain.
Yes. The dashboard is fully responsive and works in any mobile browser. Use Tailscale or WireGuard for secure remote access from anywhere — no port forwarding, no exposing your server to the internet.
No. All AI processing runs locally via Ollama. There are no cloud API calls, no telemetry, and no analytics. Your notes, emails, photos, and search history never leave your network. You own your data completely.
Yes. Everything runs locally — notes, files, photos, calendar, AI search, and the knowledge graph all work fully offline. You only need internet for syncing external email (IMAP) and external calendar/contacts (CalDAV, CardDAV).
Nextcloud is primarily a file sync and collaboration platform with an app ecosystem of plugins. Micelclaw is an AI-native productivity OS built from the ground up: semantic search across all your data, an automatic knowledge graph, daily AI digests, and a unified dashboard — not features bolted on as third-party plugins.
Notion is cloud-only, proprietary, and charges per user. Micelclaw is self-hosted, open source, and free. Beyond notes, Micelclaw includes email, calendar, file storage, photo management, and an AI assistant — things Notion doesn't offer. Your data stays on your hardware, not on someone else's servers.
Obsidian is an excellent markdown editor for personal notes. Micelclaw is a full productivity OS: notes + calendar + email + files + photos + AI assistant + 40 managed services. If you only need notes, Obsidian is a great choice. If you want everything connected with AI that understands relationships across all your data, Micelclaw replaces the need for separate apps.
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. All AI runs locally — no data is sent to external APIs. Authentication uses JWT with refresh tokens. Remote access is secured via Tailscale or WireGuard VPN. No ports are exposed to the internet by default.
Freelancers who want one tool for everything. Developers and sysadmins who prefer self-hosted software. Privacy enthusiasts who are tired of Big Tech. Homelabbers looking for a productivity layer on their existing server. Anyone who wants to degoogle without losing the convenience of a modern, integrated workspace.
