HR should be simple
We built Krip because managing people shouldn't require leaving the tools you already use. If your organization runs on Nextcloud, your HR should too.
Why Krip?
Most HR platforms force you to adopt yet another separate system — with its own login, its own data silo, its own way of doing things. For organizations that value data sovereignty and already trust Nextcloud, this creates unnecessary friction.
Krip takes a different approach. The HR interface lives inside Nextcloud as a native app. Leave requests create calendar events. Receipts are stored in your files. Notifications come through the system you already check. Your employee data stays on infrastructure you control.
The backend service handles the business logic, AI processing, and complex workflows — so you get powerful HR capabilities without adding complexity to your Nextcloud instance.
Open-core philosophy
The Krip Nextcloud app is AGPL-licensed and will always be free and open-source. We believe the integration layer — how Krip connects to your Nextcloud — should be transparent and auditable.
The proprietary Laravel backend is where we invest in features that justify a subscription: AI-powered recruitment, advanced approval workflows, multi-tenant data management, and enterprise security features.
Enterprise customers who need complete data sovereignty can license and self-host the backend on their own infrastructure.
What we believe
Data sovereignty
Your employee data belongs on your infrastructure. Krip integrates with Nextcloud so your data stays where you put it.
Modular by design
Use only what you need. Start with leave management, add recruitment later. No bloated all-or-nothing packages.
Open where it matters
The Nextcloud app is AGPL. You can inspect, audit, and contribute to the code that runs on your server.
Simple over complex
HR software shouldn't need a consultant to set up. Krip is designed to be usable from day one.
