About The Project

Workwise is a high-performance, real-time collaboration platform designed for teams who need more than just one tool. Built with modern technologies like Next.js and Convex, it seamlessly integrates real-time messaging, visual task management, and AI-powered planning into a single, unified experience.

Key Highlights:

• One Unified Platform: No more context switching between chat and task apps.
• Real-Time Everything: Powered by Convex for near-instant synchronization across all project data.
• AI-First Workflow: Leverage AI to plan project roadmaps and optimize team velocity.

  npm install npm@latest -g

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/SimpleCyber/workwise.git

2. Install NPM packages

   npm install
   # or
   bun install

3. Set up your .env.local

   CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT=your_deployment_name
   NEXT_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL=your_convex_url

4. Start the Convex dev server

   npx convex dev

5. Start the Next.js development server

Usage

Workwise is designed to be intuitive. Create a workspace, invite your team, and start collaborating instantly.

Real-Time Messaging

Kanban/Trello-style Task Management

AI-Powered Jira-style Planner

Zero-Knowledge Secrets & Environment Vault (Infisical Architecture) Workwise features a Zero-Knowledge End-to-End Encrypted (E2EE) Secrets Engine inspired by Infisical. Manage mission-critical API keys, database credentials, .env configurations, SSL certificates, and secret files with mathematical guarantees that even database administrators and the owner of Workwise cannot decode your data.

Cryptographic Architecture & Security Guarantee:

1. Zero-Knowledge Identity (PBKDF2 + RSA-OAEP-2048):
   • Each user generates an asymmetric RSA-OAEP key pair directly in their browser.
   • The user's private key is encrypted client-side using a User Encryption Key derived from their master passphrase via PBKDF2 (SHA-256, 100,000 iterations).
   • Only the encrypted private key and the public key are sent to Convex. The server never receives the passphrase.
2. Project Master Key Envelope (AES-256-GCM):
   • Each workspace/project generates a 256-bit symmetric Project Key in browser memory.
   • The project key is wrapped using the user's RSA-OAEP public key. The database only ever stores ciphertext envelopes.
3. Multi-Party Safe Secrets Sharing:
   • Sharing access with a teammate wraps the Project Key with that teammate's personal public key.
   • Teammates decrypt the key in their own browsers without the server ever intercepting it.
4. Environment Variables & Secret Files:
   • Environment keys, values, and comments are encrypted with AES-256-GCM (12-byte IV per secret).
   • Sensitive files (.env, .pem, .crt, .json service accounts) are encrypted client-side before being uploaded to storage.
   • One-click bulk .env import and decrypted .env export across Development, Staging, Production, and Testing environments.
