Simple
Run projects without project-management bureaucracy. No epics, story points, velocity, Gantt charts or workflow builders. If it needs training to understand, we reconsider it.

Leaning PostgreSQL for the transactional store. Consistency matters more than raw write speed here.

Agreed. Benchmarks in the docs folder confirm p95 under 8 ms at 10k rows/s. Proposing we record this as a decision.

The core loop
Communication → decisions → knowledge → work
The key concept isn’t “project management.” It is a loop where every conversation has an outcome — and both humans and agents participate.
01
Communication
Long-form asynchronous discussions that create real organizational records — not noise.
02
Decisions
Every discussion can end in a first-class decision: what, why, alternatives, who decided.
03
Knowledge
Decisions become curated company knowledge — versioned, sourced, linked, verifiable.
04
Work
Knowledge becomes context. Humans and agents do better work, and the loop starts again.
Projects eventually finish. Tasks disappear. Chat becomes noise.
But decisions + knowledge + history increase in value over time.
Why TaskLodge
Not another project tool.A different shape of workspace.
Private
Your infrastructure. Your data. Self-hosted on a Docker VM, with your own object storage, your own database, and AI traffic that never routes through our cloud.
Sovereignty is the default, not an add-on
Built for agents
Give AI workers identities, permissions and access to exactly the knowledge they need. Agents are users — not plugins — with scoped tokens, approvals and a full audit trail.
The office, not the employee’s brain
Five jobs, one workspace
Organize work
One understandable place for projects, tasks, discussions and documents.
Preserve decisions
Don’t let important decisions disappear inside chat history.
Build memory
Turn operational knowledge into something the company reuses.
Control agents
Identities, permissions and limited access for AI employees.
Own it all
Run everything on infrastructure you control.
The killer feature
Decisions are a first-class object. Not a doc tag.
Most collaboration systems accumulate information but never convert operational discussion into durable knowledge. TaskLodge does. Inside any discussion, one action —Extract decision — and AI drafts the record. A human approves it.
- Discussion
- AI proposes
- Human approves
- Knowledge created
AI proposes knowledge. Humans promote it into organizational truth.

Organizational memory
Curated knowledge. Not another AI-text pile.
Knowledge is organized in a hierarchy — Engineering, Sales, Operations, Company — and every article keeps its author, contributors, version history, source discussions and related decisions.
Optionally Git-backed
Knowledge mirrors to a Git repository for portability, history and agent access — while staying usable for someone who has never used Git.
Staleness, flagged
“This policy hasn’t been reviewed in 14 months” is far more valuable than another “Ask AI” button.
Everything connects
Projects, decisions, knowledge, tasks, people and agents form one company graph — so you can ask why, not just where.
Agents
Agents are users.Not plugins.
An agent is represented like a human principal: identity, role, permissions, knowledge scope and an approval policy. Every significant action is attributable.

Bring your own runtime
We don’t ship an agent runtime. TaskLodge is the office, not the employee’s brain.

Self-hosting
Self-hosting is a product feature. Not an afterthought.
Installation, upgrades and backups receive the same design attention as task creation. The deployment target is a modest VM — and one line.
$ docker compose up -d
[+] Running 5/5 app · postgres · minio · worker · caddy
$ tasklodge backup
✓ backup-2026-08-27.tar.gz
$ tasklodge restore backup-2026-08-27.tar.gz
✓ restore verified automatically
# or, when we ship the installer:
$curl -fsSL https://tasklodge.example/install | sh
One command
A modular monolith behind a reverse proxy: app, PostgreSQL, object storage, background worker. No Kubernetes, no microservices.
Any S3-compatible storage
MinIO, AWS S3, Cloudflare R2 or any compatible system. Your files live where you point them.
Backup you can trust
tasklodge backup and tasklodge restore, covering database, files, configuration and knowledge — with automatic restore testing.
Your AI, your endpoint
Point TaskLodge at OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, a local model or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Your AI traffic never routes through our cloud.
No telemetry by default
Self-hosted installations ship with no customer-data telemetry. Anonymous product telemetry is opt-in — and agent prompts stay yours.
You can leave
Exporting company data is straightforward. Lock-in should come from years of valuable memory, not from fear of getting your data out.
Pricing
Flat pricing per instance. Predictable by design.
Your infrastructure. Your users. Your agents. No per-seat math on 43 employees plus 27 agents — one price for the instance.
