Tracim
All-in-one team collaboration platform for files, threads and projects
About Tracim
Tracim is an open-source team collaboration platform that combines threaded discussions, file sharing with version history, collaborative documents, and project management in a single workspace. Developed by the French company Algoo, it supports both real-time and asynchronous teamwork and is available as a managed cloud SaaS (Tracim CLOUD) hosted on French servers or as a self-hosted deployment.
