Hi, Marc.
Asset tracker for our IT team with approvals…
Or start from
kumiko.rocks is Kumiko as a ready-made service. We run your apps, so you don’t have to deal with servers, backups and updates. The AI builder and the Designer are part of it.
From “I have an idea for an internal tool” to “the address works in the browser” takes under 2 minutes. You don’t touch a server, a database or a deploy pipeline (the route by which new code goes live) along the way.
You log in, click new app and give it a name. The platform sets up everything needed: app, database, search, file storage, SSL certificate (for the encrypted connection in the browser), audit trail and backup schedule. After under 2 minutes there is a live address. You can start right away, with no setup pause and no waiting for a deploy.
Need a second app? Click again in the same account. Asset tracker today, helpdesk next week, vendor portal next month: all under one login, with the same audit trail and the same sign-in.
| What you get per app | Default |
|---|---|
| Live address | under 2 minutes after the click |
| Database | a dedicated one with its own credentials, hosted in the EU |
| File storage | a separate storage area per app, hosted in the EU |
| Search | full-text search, included |
| SSL certificate | covers all subaddresses and renews itself |
| Backup | continuous, plus a daily snapshot, kept for 30 days |
| Audit trail | every change traceable and queryable |
One account can run several apps. The apps share the login, the user list and the team structure. Each still has its own database, its own data and its own permissions. So you can shut one app down without touching the others, or scale one up without paying for the rest.
This is how mid-size companies in the DACH region usually work: the right tool for each problem, but not five vendors with five logins.
Apps on the Free plan run under an address on kumiko.rocks. From Pro upward you use your own domain, for example tools.acme.de or intern.muster-ag.de. We take care of the certificate. Your customers then see your brand and your address.
The standard plans cover 95% of what apps in the DACH mid-market need. If your workload doesn’t fit, such as heavy reporting, large files or real-time control with thousands of simultaneous users, talk to us. We then define a custom performance class instead of forcing you into a plan you don’t want.
There are no surprise surcharges. We talk first, agree on the scope, and then start.

kumiko.rocks is itself a Kumiko app. This has three consequences:
See Pricing. The amounts below are guide values, not final prices. Final prices will not come before Q1 2027.
Working draft (guide values):
Live today: the platform itself, the framework and the showcases cashcolt.kumiko.rocks and publicstatus.eu in production. Sign-up is not open yet, access is currently for beta customers. The foundation for the Designer is built.
Next come the platform app with the Designer in the browser, then the AI builder, then public self-service hosting. Pilot users get access earlier than the general market.
Places in the pilot program are available on request: [email protected]
