Your email, calendar, files, and meetings — owned by you, not big tech.
Faral is a complete workspace built and hosted entirely in Europe. Everything you need to work — email, chat, video calls, calendar, contacts, and file storage — in one place, under your control.
No ads. No data mining. No US jurisdiction. Just tools that work.
Currently in invite-only testing. We'll open access requests when we're ready.
Your workspace shouldn't work against you
Most teams run on tools owned by a handful of US companies. That comes with real consequences — not hypothetical ones.
Your data isn't yours
US law gives authorities access to data held by US companies — no matter where it's stored. Hosting in the EU doesn't help if the provider is American.
You're the product
When a workspace is free, your data pays for it. Your emails, files, and habits are analyzed, profiled, and monetized.
Leaving is made hard
Proprietary formats, limited exports, and deep ecosystem lock-in keep you dependent — by design.
Privacy is theater
Cookie banners aren't compliance. Real privacy means collecting less, deleting when asked, and letting you take your data when you leave.
Everything you need to work
One workspace, not seven separate subscriptions. Every tool is designed to work together — and everything stays in Europe.
Fast, modern email with threaded conversations, full-text search, and keyboard shortcuts. Use your own domain or ours. End-to-end encryption is built in — just toggle the lock icon when composing.
Chat
Real-time messaging with channels, direct messages, threads, and reactions. Connected to your email and meetings so conversations don't get lost between tools.
Meet
Video and voice calls built into Chat. Start a call from any conversation. Camera, mic, and screen sharing — with a thread created automatically so nothing is forgotten after the meeting.
Calendar
Scheduling that connects to your mail and contacts. Send invitations, manage recurring events, and share calendars with your team. Syncs with any calendar app you already use.
Contacts
Your address book in one place. Autocomplete when composing emails, see contact details inline, and sync across all your devices.
Drive
Store, organize, and share files. Access from your browser or sync to your desktop. All stored on European infrastructure with redundancy built in.
Organizations & Identity
Manage your team with roles and permissions. Single sign-on included — your identity stays under your control, not someone else's platform.
Faral Mail — encrypted and regular messages in one unified inbox
Encryption
We can't read your email. Not because we promise not to — because we can't.
Messages are encrypted on your device before they reach our servers. We don't have your key. This is a mathematical guarantee, not a policy.
Toggle the lock icon when composing — that's all it takes. Replies to encrypted messages are encrypted by default. No extra steps, no separate workflow.
Recipients who support encryption get true end-to-end encrypted mail. Everyone else gets a secure portal link with passphrase-protected access — so you can send sensitive information to anyone.
No setup, no key management. Encryption keys are generated automatically when you create your account. Everything just works.
Your password never leaves your device. Authentication uses SRP — the server never sees your credentials. Even a compromised server can't unlock your mail.
We can't read it
Encrypted on your device before it leaves your browser. We never have access. Not by choice — by design.
One click
Toggle the lock when composing. Replies to encrypted messages encrypt automatically. No extra steps.
Send to anyone
Encrypted recipients get end-to-end secure mail. Everyone else gets a secure portal link with passphrase-protected access.
No setup needed
Keys are generated when you create your account. No manual key management. Encryption is always one toggle away.
AI that works for you, not on you
AI should save you time without selling your data. Faral's AI runs on European infrastructure and will never use your data to train models. Your information stays yours.
Catch up fast
Long email threads summarized into what actually matters. Get back up to speed in seconds instead of scrolling through chains.
Write faster
Get reply suggestions that match how you actually write. Accept, edit, or ignore — always your call.
It remembers
Context that carries across your emails, chats, and meetings. Like a colleague who actually paid attention.
Four principles
Sovereignty
Built, hosted, and governed in the EU. Your data stays under European law — no exceptions, no loopholes.
Openness
Open source, open standards. Your data works with other tools. If you want to leave, we make it easy — not hard.
Honesty
No dark patterns. No "free" tiers that cost your privacy. Our code will be public — so you can verify our claims, not just trust our words.
Security
Everything encrypted in transit and at rest. One-click end-to-end encryption when you need it. Security is the default, not an add-on.
Data rights that actually work
GDPR isn't a checkbox for us. It's how the product is designed.
Delete means delete
Cancel your account and everything is gone. Not archived, not "anonymized" — actually deleted. With a clear timeline and confirmation.
Take it all with you
Export everything — email, files, calendar, contacts, chat history — in standard formats that work anywhere. No proprietary lock-in.
Privacy you can read
Our privacy policy explains what we collect, why, and for how long — in plain language, not legal fog.
Built on open foundations
Faral is built on proven open-source projects — the same technology trusted by thousands of organizations. We credit and contribute to the communities that make this possible.
This is also where the technical detail lives: our email runs on Stalwart with JMAP, real-time messaging on NATS, video calls on LiveKit, calendars and contacts via CalDAV and CardDAV, file sync via WebDAV, and identity via OIDC. All open standards, all interoperable.
Faral's code will be open source
We're building Faral to be open source — not because it's expected, but because it's the only honest way to back up claims about privacy and security. The codebase is a work in progress and not public yet.
When it's ready, it will be available on our self-hosted Forgejo instance — because even our source control runs on European infrastructure.
All infrastructure hosted in Amsterdam, NL on European providers. No US cloud services.
