What Pelican brings together

Integrated functionalities, one everyday tool.

Shared agenda

Personal, or shared selectively with a group, family or friends. Syncs with the calendar on your phone and your computer.

Chat inside everything

Every event, appointment or task has its own conversation, so subjects stay separate instead of piling up in one thread.

Appointments, tasks, reminders

For you or for someone else, individual or shared, with automatic reminders when a deadline is missed.

Event planning

Date and place, invitations and confirmations, posters, integrated chat for questions. Change the date and everyone is notified.

Posts

Publish your stories and moments to the people you choose, with photos, audio and documents. You decide who receives them.

Channels

Create public or private channels, follow the ones that interest you, and receive event invitations from them that are saved in the agenda.

Shared albums for Events

Photos, videos and documents organised into chapters, descriptions and comments of the people who participated in the event. Stored, exportable and searchable.

Companies and suppliers

Maintain direct contact with the usual companies and suppliers, request services and products, manage purchases and payments.

Our value

The goal is to help you, not to keep you on the screen.

Pelican does not use your personal data and has no infinite-scroll algorithm. There is nothing to optimise for your attention, because attention is not what we sell.

Your data is only yours

Messages, photos, audio, activities, appointments, events and posts are strictly private. Pelican does not access your personal data in any form, and does not store it on its servers.

No infinite scroll

No algorithm decides what you see next. The posts you receive are sent by named people you have authorised. For posts, you decide.

People you know

There are no public posts open to everyone. Only exchanges between people who know each other and have agreed to talk, which keeps anonymous sources out.

One user, several profiles

Family, friends, professional: each profile has its own photo, details and photo panel. Only the people you met with that profile can see it.

Inside the app

Several views of the same day.

Dialogs

Dialogs

Everything that carries messages in one list: people, groups, appointments, events and tasks.

Agenda

Agenda

Scheduled, pending and overdue. Each item can be shared on its own, and syncs to your calendar.

Posts

Posts

Creating an item

One plus button

Group, person, event, appointment, task, reminder, post or channel. Each one becomes its own card.

Pelican runs in English, Spanish and French

Events

Event planning

Date and place, invitations and confirmations, posters, integrated chat for questions. Change the date and everyone is notified.

Why we are building it

Some large well-known applications run on an economic model built on extracting personal data and maximising screen time. The response being explored elsewhere, particularly in Europe, but not only, is to build our own applications: sovereign, based on ethical principles, and designed to serve their users.

Pelican wants to be a component of this new ecosystem, that can interoperate and share with many other applications, where servers are distributed and can be placed near users and in their own countries. We plan to integrate into the Matrix ecosystem of open and distributed servers.

Pelican is free to install from the App Store and Google Play. Creating an account needs an authorisation, which we grant as we open new groups. Tell us who you would use it with and we will send yours. Thank you for your interest.

Or write to info@pelican-tools.com

We use this information only to process your authorisation, after that it will be discarded.
