HumHub is the tool to digitize your organization and prepare it for the future. We are an Open Source company from Munich and our software is primarily used as a Social Network, Intranet, Knowledge Database or Information Platform. With HumHub, people in various constellations can network, communicate and collaborate on various projects. Our software is easy and intuitive to use, has a clear design and can be extended by over 80 Modules. HumHub can be operated both On-Premise (on your own server), and as GDPR-compliant SaaS solution by us.

The first line of code of our software was written in February 2014. Officially, HumHub was founded in 2015 by our CEO Lucas Bartholemy in Munich. The vision since then: To develop a software that "helps people all over the world to communicate and connect better." Our many years of experience in programming, communication and the configuration and maintenance of Social Networks have made us a strong and reliable partner for countless Organizations and companies since our founding.

Our software is very individually configurable. As a result, HumHub is used in a wide variety of Organizations and companies as Social Network, Intranet or Knowledge Base. Our clients include many cities and municipalities, associations, foundations and institutions, educational facilities like universities and schools, political parties as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, large companies and corporations.

As an Open Source company based in Munich, we take the issue of data protection very serious. We comply with all applicable laws and data protection regulations. With HumHub, you get a strong and reliable partner in Social Networking software. Your network can either be operated by us as GDPR-compliant SaaS solution. With this option, we host your network on German or EU servers according to ISO 27001. Alternatively, you can run your network On-Premise and always remain in control of your data. With the Professional Edition, you can choose between both options.

HumHub is best explained in 4 pillars. Users, Spaces, Content and Modules. Each User in your network has their own User account with profile information that can be defined by you. Users can search, network and get to know other Users in your organisation better. Spaces are where Users meet each other. Spaces are rooms, groups or subgroups. These can be organized by departments, locations or projects. Here, you can also determine your network structure individually. Users can become members of Spaces, create Content and work on common projects, publish Content and collaborate. Content is everything that is posted or published. Content can be, for example, articles, documents, images, videos, wiki pages, landing pages, events and much more. Modules are available for optional installation and allow you to customize the functionality of your network.

There is, among other things, an automated notification system and E-Mail summaries for all Users, a multi-level permission system, a dashboard or even filters and search functions to find certain information faster.

There are currently over 80 Modules in total. The most important and popular Modules include: SAML SSO, Apache SOLR, LDAP, Messenger, News, Translation Manager, Wiki, OnlyOffice, Theme Builder, Enterprise Theme, Custom Pages, Calendar, Surveys, Files and Tasks.

Yes, HumHub can be run on all common devices. The most common way to use the software is via laptop and PC. However, you can also fully use your network on tablet or smartphone. We are currently developing native iOS and Android apps. The HumHub app expected to be released by the end of 2023.
