The problem nobody budgets for
Your team doesn't have a productivity problem. It has a plumbing problem.
The ticket is in one app. The spec is in another. The decision was made in a chat thread nobody can find. Every hand-off between tools is a small tax, and the taxes add up.

What's inside
Four tools' worth of features. One joint holding them together.
Each part of Tenon is a serious product on its own. The point is that they share one data model, so a ticket can link a page, a page can be dropped into chat, and the AI can read all three.
Projects
Kanban boards, timelines with dependencies, hill charts, todo lists and analytics that write their own status report.
Explore projectsPages & docs
A Notion-style editor, an infinite canvas, backlinks, @-mentions and public share links: docs that live next to the work.
Explore pagesChat
Channels and DMs with reactions and read receipts, plus polls, decision cards and async standups that end in a summary.
Explore chatBrain AI
A workspace-aware assistant that flags stuck work, drafts tickets and writes your morning briefing, on the model you choose.

Projects & work tracking
See the work. Move the work. Know when it's stuck.
Boards for the day-to-day, a timeline for the month, hill charts for the honest "are we still figuring this out?" conversation. Every ticket carries its priority, owner, due date and custom fields, and Tenon quietly flags anything idle for three days.
- Kanban with custom columnsDrag-and-drop tickets through the process your team actually follows.
- Timeline & dependenciesSchedule work and see where two deadlines collide before they do.
- Analytics that talkBurndown, workload and health cards, plus AI-generated status reports.
Pages & docs
Write the spec next to the ticket it belongs to.
A block editor with headings, tables, task lists, images, embeds and slash commands. Link pages together and see backlinks. Sketch on an infinite canvas when words aren't enough. Share a page with a client who will never log in.
- Tiptap-based editorFast, keyboard-friendly, familiar to anyone who has used Notion.
- Import Word & PDFBring last year's documents in as editable, searchable pages.
- Public share links
/s/:tokenlinks for people outside the workspace.
Chat & collaboration
Conversations that end in a decision you can find later.
Real-time channels and DMs, of course. But also polls when you need a quick vote, decision cards that record who agreed to what, and async standups that arrive as a readable AI summary instead of nine separate messages.
- Page link cardsShare a page into chat and it shows a rich preview, not a URL.
- Decision cardsPropose, agree, record. Searchable forever.
- Async standupsConfigurable schedule, submission modal, AI digest.

Brain, the AI assistant
An assistant that has actually read your workspace.
Most "AI for work" tools know nothing about your work. Brain lives inside Tenon, so it can see the projects, tickets and pages you're allowed to see. Ask what's stuck. Ask for a morning briefing. Ask it to draft three tickets from the conversation you just had.
- Bring your own providerGoogle Gemini, OpenAI, Azure, or a self-hosted model via any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. No key is ever hard-coded.
- Respects permissionsThe AI reads through the same Row Level Security as people do.
- Honest by designIf AI isn't configured, features say so, with no canned "insights".
Two ways to run it
Hosted by us, or hosted by you, for one team or a hundred organizations.
Tenon was multi-tenant from the first commit. That's what lets us run Tenon Cloud for thousands of customers, and what lets an agency or IT team run one self-hosted deployment for every client or department, each fully isolated.
Self-hosted
The same software on your servers: a static bundle plus your own Supabase project. Host it for your company, or turn one deployment into a platform for unlimited departments and clients, with no per-tenant fees, air-gap optional.
About self-hostingIsolation by the database
Every table has Row Level Security. Each organization only ever sees its own rows, on Cloud and self-hosted alike, even if application code has a bug. A built-in self-test proves it.
Security detailsSSO your IT team will accept
SAML and OIDC identity providers per organization, with a setup drawer that hands you every value your IdP asks for. Plus session revocation and activity logs.
SSO detailsMove between them freely
Cloud and self-hosted share one schema. Start on Cloud, move on-prem when compliance asks, or the reverse. No translation layer, no lock-in.
Compare plans
Up and running
Two minutes on Cloud. An afternoon self-hosted.
Create your workspace
Sign up on Tenon Cloud with email or Google, name your organization, pick EU or US. Self-hosting instead? The install guide takes about an hour.
Invite people
Send invitations by email. Everyone lands in the same workspace with an onboarding tour that explains the four pieces.
Bring the work in, pick an AI
Import Word and PDF documents as pages, create a project, and choose an AI provider in Admin Settings so Brain can start reading, or don't.

Who it's for
Built for teams of five, and platforms serving five hundred.
Startups & product teams
Start on Cloud today. Boards for sprints, hill charts for the messy middle, docs next to the work, and an API so you can wire it into the rest of your stack.
Agencies & IT platform teams
One self-hosted deployment with an isolated organization per client or department. Their data stays separated by the database; you administer it all from one superadmin panel, with no per-tenant fees.
Regulated & public sector
Self-host for data residency and zero third-party processors, connect your own IdP, and run the AI assistant on a model inside your network.
Questions
Straight answers.
What exactly is Tenon?
Tenon is one web app that replaces the usual four: a project tracker (boards, timelines, tickets), a documents tool (a Notion-style editor and an infinite canvas), a team chat (channels, DMs, standups, polls) and an AI assistant that has read all of it. Use it on Tenon Cloud, hosted by us, or host it yourself, including for many departments or clients on one deployment.
Who is Tenon for?
Teams of five to five thousand who are tired of paying for and switching between Jira, Notion, Slack and a separate AI tool. Most start on Tenon Cloud. Organizations that cannot, or would rather not, put their work in someone else's cloud (agencies with client data, regulated industries, public sector, IT teams standardising internal tooling) run the same software self-hosted.
Cloud or self-hosted: which should I choose?
Cloud if you want to be working in two minutes and don't have a rule about where data lives. Self-hosted if you have data-residency or air-gap requirements, or want to host one deployment for several departments or clients. It is the same product and the same database schema, so you can move between them later.
Where is my data stored on Tenon Cloud?
In the region you choose when you create the workspace: EU or US. Database, file storage and backups all stay in that region. Your organization's rows are isolated from every other customer by Row Level Security in Postgres.
Can other Tenon Cloud customers see my data?
No. Tenon Cloud is multi-tenant, and every table has org-scoped Row Level Security policies. The database refuses to return rows that belong to another organization, regardless of what the application asks for. We run the same RLS self-test on Cloud that self-hosters run on their own deployments.
Can I host Tenon for my departments or my clients?
Yes. That is what the self-hosted Enterprise edition is for. One deployment holds unlimited organizations, each fully isolated by Row Level Security, each able to connect its own SAML or OIDC identity provider. A superadmin role administers them all. Agencies use it for clients; IT teams use it for departments and subsidiaries.
