Payroll, contracts, time tracking, PTO, meetings and benefits in one platform. One employee app, one admin dashboard. Ship it under your brand, and run it on your servers whenever you choose.
One environment variable away from being your platform.
INSIDE KEANAN
Approvals waiting for you, who is away in the next two weeks, this month's payroll and your next meeting, ready the moment you sign in. Under your brand, it carries your logo and colours.
THE PLATFORM
Gross to net with statutory rules for Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria, or your own. Branded payslips, a second admin to approve, and salaries paid in one click through M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Flutterwave, Paystack, Wise, PayPal, Stripe, Airwallex, bank files or your own system.
Full time, part time and freelance agreements with terms documents, renewal dates and salary history. Visible to the right people and to nobody else.
A complete time tracking suite: one click clock, timesheets, billable rates, budgets, target hours, overtime and a standalone employee time portal with reports and an absence planner.
Requests routed to the right manager, live balances with monthly accrual and capped carry-over, plus a team calendar that already knows the public holidays. Spreadsheet season is over.
Departments and reporting lines that decide who approves what. Onboarding and offboarding checklists split tasks between HR, the manager and the new starter, with due dates. Sign in with Google or Microsoft.
Presenter rotation, when you turn on the weekly meeting. Slides upload from the phone, convert to in browser previews including PowerPoint, and stay searchable forever.
Publish benefit plans, take enrollments and approve reimbursements with receipts. Employees see everything in one app, in ten languages.
Integrate AI into your everyday work. Scoped API keys, signed webhooks and an MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor and other assistants read balances, track time and request leave with your permissions. Chat notifications land in Slack, Teams, Discord and Google Chat. See how.
A leaner team can toggle any module per workspace with built in feature flags. The navigation and the API follow instantly.

FROM ZERO TO YOURS
One Docker Compose stack carries the API, background jobs, database, feature flags and TLS. Run it on our cloud, or on a single low cost instance in your own AWS account.
Upload your logo and set the name, colors and legal footer in Settings, Branding. Emails, invoice PDFs, the dashboard and the mobile app all follow. No fork and no rebuild.
Invite the team. Reminders send themselves, invoices generate monthly and, once you turn on the weekly meeting, its presenter rotation never skips anyone. Export your data as one archive any day you like.
INFRASTRUCTURE · YOURS
Most HR tools hold your data hostage. Keanan ships with an export command that packs every record and file into one archive, and an import command that restores it anywhere the stack runs. Your AWS account, your Hetzner box, your basement server. Your call.

FOR AGENCIES AND CONSULTANCIES
A reseller license covers your first client environment. Every further client runs in its own isolated deployment with its own domain, database and branding, and you bill them whatever your service is worth.
FAIR QUESTIONS
You sign up, and a private environment with its own database and its own subdomain is provisioned automatically. It runs for 14 days with up to 5 people. Two days before the end we remind you. At day 14 it pauses with your data intact, and at day 30 it is deleted unless you picked a plan. Converting keeps the same environment: same data, same logins, nothing to migrate.
Product name, company name, logo, colors and the legal footer flow through the admin dashboard, the employee app, every email and every generated PDF. An admin changes it in the dashboard, and the environment is the fallback for scripted deployments. Your clients never see the word Keanan unless you want them to.
One Linux box that runs Docker. The provided script sets up a single AWS instance for about €12 per month with the entire stack: API, background jobs, Postgres, Redis, feature flags and automatic TLS. A team of 10 to 50 runs comfortably on it.
Yes. That path is a feature, not a negotiation. The export command produces one archive with every record and file, and the import command restores it on your infrastructure. People keep their logins. The move is an afternoon, not a project.
On Starter and Managed your data lives in the EU, in Frankfurt, encrypted at rest and exportable any day. Self hosted, it lives wherever you put it. That is the strongest GDPR answer there is.
Yes. It is on the App Store and Google Play, in ten languages, with biometric lock and two factor authentication. Payslips, PTO requests, time tracking, expense receipts, meeting slides and documents all live in the employee's pocket. More about the app.
Starter runs your environment on infrastructure we share between a handful of companies. Each one still has its own database, its own domain and its own branding, so nobody sees anyone else's data. It fits teams up to 25 people. Managed gives you a dedicated server of your own, which larger teams or stricter compliance rules sometimes require. Moving from one to the other is an export and an import, nothing more.
You export your workspace and keep everything. On the self hosted plan the software keeps running, because the one time license is yours. Only updates and support expire.
