Why Jonix

Built for teams that need control and proof

Jonix combines sovereign infrastructure, release discipline, and a modular platform roadmap.

Current Release

v0.1.0

Stable

Self-Hosted by Design

Run frontend, backend, and database in your own environment with Docker Compose.

Versioned Release Workflow

Release prep, deploy, and artifact scripts are version-driven for reproducible operations.

Transparent Product Updates

Public changelog and timeline are maintained with each release cut and website update.

Modular Suite Foundation

JonixOS, Nucleus, Helix, Ion, and Momentum are structured as interoperable products under one platform.

Why Teams Switch

Cloud lock-in limits how teams build and scale

Jonix is built for teams that need control over source, data, and AI workloads without giving up modern developer experience.

SaaS Lock-in

Your code, pipelines, and workflows are trapped in vendor platforms. Migrating means starting over.

Rising Tooling Costs

Per-seat pricing adds up fast. As your team grows, so does your monthly bill—often unpredictably.

AI Governance Blockers

Enterprise AI adoption stalls without clear data residency, audit trails, and compliance guarantees.

Self-Hosted Control

Run on your infrastructure. Keep your code, data, and AI models exactly where you need them.

Modular Architecture

Adopt one tool or the full suite. Each component works standalone with deeper value when connected.

Compliance Ready

Built-in audit logging, data residency controls, and governance policies for enterprise requirements.

The Ecosystem

Five products. One ecosystem.

Each component works standalone. Together, they form a sovereign platform from workstation to infrastructure.

Infrastructure Appliance

The server-side platform OS. Operate compute, containers, networking, and services from a dashboard-native appliance layer.

How It Works

Start simple. Scale smart.

No big bang migration required. Adopt at your own pace.

01

Start standalone

Pick the tool that solves your immediate need. Each Jonix component is fully functional on its own.

02

Connect later

As your needs grow, integrate additional components. Shared auth, unified dashboards, cross-tool automation.

03

Local-first, always

Your data stays on your infrastructure by default. Optional cloud relay for remote collaboration when needed.

Business Model

Free to use. Built to scale.

A sustainable model that aligns our success with yours. Free core, paid enterprise features.

Free Core Tier

Core functionality is free to use when self-hosted. Start building without upfront costs.

Enterprise Licensing

Single-tenant deployments with SSO, audit logging, SLAs, and dedicated support for larger organizations.

Low Infrastructure Burn

Self-hosted architecture means lower hosting costs. You pay for your own compute, not ours.

Sustainable Growth

Revenue from enterprise licenses and consulting funds development while keeping core free.

Detailed pricing will be announced closer to general availability. Source code is not included at any tier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Jonix and the ecosystem.

No. Jonix is free-to-use at the core tier, but source code is not publicly available. This is not an open-source project.
The base product is usable for free when self-hosted. Paid tiers unlock advanced capabilities like SSO, enterprise support, and additional features. Source code access is not included at any tier.
No. Each Jonix component works standalone. You can start with one tool—like Helix for source control—and add others over time. There's no all-or-nothing migration required.
No. Jonix is local-first by design. Everything runs on your infrastructure. We offer optional cloud relay services for remote collaboration, but they're entirely optional.
We're building with enterprise requirements from day one: audit logging, SSO integration, data residency controls, and compliance documentation. Enterprise features will be available at launch.
Ion, our AI layer, runs models locally on your infrastructure. No data leaves your network unless you explicitly configure external model providers. Full audit trails for all AI interactions.
