What is Knobs?
Knobs is one workspace that thinks with you: mail, chat, tasks, docs, sheets, file storage, and calendar in a single app, on your own domain, with AI built into the places where it actually saves you time.
Instead of stitching together an email provider, a chat tool, a task tracker, and an office suite, your team gets one place where everything connects — a chat message becomes a task, a mail thread gets summarized, a doc is shared with exactly the people who need it, and one search finds all of it.
The suite
Section titled “The suite”| Product | What it does |
|---|---|
| Full email on your own address — folders, labels, threads, attachments, AI reply suggestions and thread summaries | |
| Chat | Channels, direct messages, threads, reactions, pins, and slash commands |
| Tasks | My Day, projects, boards, and quick capture from anywhere — including from a mail thread or chat message |
| Docs | Real-time collaborative documents with live cursors, images, and import/export |
| Sheets | Collaborative spreadsheets with a full function library |
| Drive | File storage with previews, folders, uploads, and sharing |
| Calendar | Month/week/day views, shared calendars, invites, and RSVP |
Everything lives behind one left-hand rail — switch products with a single click, and use global search and voice dictation from any of them.
Your own address, instantly
Section titled “Your own address, instantly”Every workspace gets its own mail domain the moment it’s created:
your-team.knobs.iois provisioned automatically at sign-up — you can send and receive mail immediately, with zero DNS work.- Your own custom domain (like
yourcompany.com) can be connected whenever you’re ready. Knobs walks you through the DNS records with live verification. See Custom domains.
Your knobs address is also your login — there’s no separate account email. A personal email or phone number is kept only as a recovery contact.
Built for people running more than one thing
Section titled “Built for people running more than one thing”A single account can belong to many workspaces — one per company, client, or side project, each with its own domain, members, and billing. The workspace switcher moves between them in a click, and the All Domains view rolls unread mail, mentions, and tasks from every workspace into one list, each item badged with where it came from.
