About Oqiva

A shared whiteboard that respects where your work lives.

Why Oqiva exists

Teams think in pictures. They sketch an architecture, map a process, lay out a roadmap, or just get ideas out of their heads and onto a wall. Then the picture is exported to a slide, pasted into a chat, and quietly goes out of date in three places.

Oqiva keeps those pictures where the work happens: on a shared canvas that everyone can open, edit and comment on, inside the same system your organisation already trusts with its other business data.

Built on Frappe

Oqiva is an app for Frappe, the open source framework behind many business applications. That choice shapes everything:

It runs on your infrastructure. You install it on your own bench, so boards live in your database and your backups.
It uses the people you already have. Sign-in, users and roles come from your Frappe site.
It needs no other service to trust. There is nothing to sign up for and no account with us.

What we believe

Your data is yoursWe build software you run yourself. We do not collect your boards, and the product has no hidden calls home.

Careful by defaultPermissions are checked on the server, strangers are told nothing, and risky features such as AI stay off until someone chooses them.

For everyoneLabelled controls, keyboard shortcuts, readable contrast, and a layout that works on a small screen.

Honest about limitsWe say what is tested and what is not, including which browsers and devices we have tried. If something is missing, we say so.

Open source

Oqiva is released under the MIT licence, one of the most permissive open source licences. You can use it, study it, change it and run it for your organisation. The source code is on GitHub, where you are welcome to report problems, suggest ideas or send a fix.

Where it is today

Oqiva 1.1 covers the whole core: workspaces and boards, a canvas editor, mind maps, flowcharts, whiteboard tools, live collaboration, sharing, comments, version history, templates, export and import, and AI diagram generation. We are still testing on more browsers and devices, and we welcome real-world feedback. Tell us what works and what does not at support@oqiva.in.
