Your whole organisation, behind one sign-in.

HDQTRS is the office suite for a small organisation: a company, a school, a practice, a club. Sign in once, choose how it looks once, and every tool follows — one account covers all of it.

Seven tools. One place.

Each is a full app, not a widget. They share an account, a look and a top bar, so moving between them feels like moving between rooms, not buildings.

Mail

A proper inbox on your own domain.

Threads, search, drafts, signatures and attachments, with shared inboxes your team can view or send from by permission. Mail runs on HDQTRS’s own mail server with SPF, DKIM and DMARC in place, so what you send arrives.

Open Mail

Chat

The conversation stays in the building.

Direct messages, groups, pins, image and video uploads, presence and notifications. An assistant room can look things up across HDQTRS — an overdue invoice, a booking, the thread you half remember.

Open Chat

Calendar

Bookings your customers make themselves.

Month, week and day views, shared calendars, and public booking links that create a booking and send the confirmation by email — no account needed on their side.

Open Calendar

Storage

Files where the team can find them.

Folders, previews and zip downloads, per organisation. Share a file with a link that expires when you say so.

Open Storage

Invoices

Invoices that get paid.

Clients, line items and status from draft to paid. Export a PDF, send it by email, and give the customer a public page they can open without signing in. An activity log keeps the history.

Open Invoices

Shifts

The rota, without the spreadsheet.

A week of shifts per organisation, each with a role, a time and a person — or left open for staff to request. Requests land with the manager to approve or decline, and everyone sees the same rota.

Open Shifts

Dashboard

One view of the week.

Unread mail, overdue invoices, upcoming bookings and the team, in one place. Organisation admin lives here too: members, invites, inboxes and permissions.

Open Dashboard

Sign in once. Choose a look once.

One account, one session, one setting for how everything looks. Pick dark or light and an accent here and the whole page changes; in HDQTRS the choice is kept on the account, so Mail, Chat, Calendar, Storage and Invoices all follow it.

The mark follows too: it is tinted from the accent, not redrawn.

How it’s built.

The short version of what is behind the sign-in page.

Self-hosted on purpose.

HDQTRS runs on a server we operate, not a stack of other people’s services. The apps, the mail server that delivers your mail and the file storage are all ours. The one piece we don’t run ourselves is the database, which is managed and backed up for us. Few moving parts, and we know where each one is.

Nothing goes live unsigned.

Every version is proposed, reviewed and personally approved before it reaches a public address. The build that was tested is the build that ships, byte for byte. If an app comes up wrong after a release it is noticed by us first, not by you.

Small by design.

One design system, one top bar, one account model shared by every app. Fewer dependencies than you would expect and no feature that exists to fill a comparison table.

I built HDQTRS because running a small organisation meant six subscriptions, six logins and six settings pages that never quite matched. I wanted one account and one look across all of it, on a server I understand. I run it myself, and nothing goes live until I have personally approved it. If something is off, email — it reaches a person.

Questions

Can I use my own domain for mail?
Yes, on every paid plan; Free uses an HDQTRS address. We set up the DNS records with you (MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC) so mail from your domain is delivered and trusted.
What happens when I need more seats than my plan includes?
Add them. Each extra seat is billed per month at the rate shown on the plan, pro-rated from the day it is added, and you can remove seats whenever you like.
Is there a trial?
Free is free for as long as you like, for one person. The paid plans have 14 days on trial, no card up front; if you do nothing at the end, the account drops back to Free.
What is the invoice fee on Free?
Nothing on the invoice itself — send as many as you like, and a customer who pays by bank transfer costs you nothing. If they pay by card through the Pay button on the invoice page, HDQTRS keeps 1% of that payment, capped at £5, plus the card processor’s own fee passed on at cost (about 1.5% + 20p for UK cards). On paid plans the HDQTRS share is 0%; you pay processing only.
What if I need more storage?
On any paid plan, each additional 100 GB is £2 a month and each additional TB is £15 a month. Storage is pooled across the organisation, and downloads and share links are never metered or charged.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Mail has a full export, invoices download as PDF, and any folder in Storage can be downloaded as a zip.
Where is my data kept?
On servers we run ourselves, behind Cloudflare. The privacy policy sets out what is stored, for how long, and who processes it.
What does Custom actually mean?
HDQTRS, modified to fit your organisation: your own single-tenant server, your domain, and changes to the apps themselves where you need them. We build, run and release it the same way we do for HDQTRS itself.
Are the prices including VAT?
Prices are shown ex VAT. VAT is added where it applies.
