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, data silo, and 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.
Core records and workflows run inside your Nextcloud. Licensed backend images add AI processing, maintained integrations, and advanced automation on infrastructure you control. Krip never receives your HR data.
Open-core philosophy
The Krip Nextcloud app is AGPL-licensed and will always be free and open-source. We believe the integration layer, meaning how Krip connects to your Nextcloud, should be transparent and auditable.
The licensed backend is where we invest in capabilities that justify a subscription: AI-powered recruitment, receipt OCR, advanced automation, maintained integrations, and enterprise operations.
Licensed backend images run on customer-controlled infrastructure. Enterprise adds deployment support, custom integrations, and service commitments.
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.
