“House on fire”
A person’s house is on fire. In the app: “Hütte brennt”.
TriggerAt least 3 tasks in 14 days, all urgent or high priority.
…because your organisation is a city.
Tasks, Kanban, chat and meetings in one tool. As a living 3D city: every task is a building, every team a district. So you see overload before it turns into a problem.
The app, including the iPhone and Android apps, is available in English. You choose your language when you sign up and can change it at any time under Settings → Me → Language. Everyone picks their own, so mixed teams work together in the same city.
No filter, no report, no status meeting. You open the city and it shows you where things are on fire. Klangi, the cat, gives you the numbers behind it. Your Monday morning could look like this:
In the last 14 days: 4 tasks, all urgent.
9 open tasks, 19 points weighted by priority. Her colleagues have 5 on average.
4 of 7 open tasks are overdue.
Fewer than 2 open tasks. There is room for the next one here.
Your own city shows this kind of thing after about two weeks of real work, because many signals look at the last 14 or 30 days. You don’t need a mood survey for it, just your normal tasks.
Height, colour, district and streetscape all carry information. In the city you see in 10 seconds what takes 10 minutes on a Kanban board.
Every task becomes a building. The construction stage follows the work phase, the height the number of expertise groups involved. Teams are districts with their own colour, projects run through the city as trams. The city replay shows in time-lapse what has changed over 7 or 30 days (30 days from Pro). Day and night, traffic and a generative soundscape included.
No report, no meeting needed: patterns in your data become events in the city. Klangi gives you the numbers behind them, for example “3 of 5 open tasks are overdue”. A selection:
A person’s house is on fire. In the app: “Hütte brennt”.
TriggerAt least 3 tasks in 14 days, all urgent or high priority.
Thick smoke above the house.
TriggerOpen workload weighted by priority is more than 3 times the average of their colleagues.
A party with a disco ball outside the house.
TriggerFewer than 2 open tasks.
The project tram is on fire and passengers are jumping off.
TriggerMore than 50% of open tasks are overdue.
The building slowly sinks into the ground.
TriggerMore than 7 days past the due date. The longer, the deeper.
A layer of ice and icicles on the building.
TriggerNot moved for more than 30 days.
Pickets with protest smoke in the district.
TriggerWorkload per person above a threshold.
Tumbleweeds, dust and a vulture circling above the city.
TriggerThe flow of new tasks dries up across the city.
A green band runs through the project and pulses of light shoot up.
TriggerAt least 5 tasks completed in the last 24 hours.
…and 26 more. In the app, Klangi explains every signal in the insight glossary: what you see, why, and what helps.
All signals and their triggers → Guide: spotting overload in a team (German) →Five fixed phases: Brainstorming, Draft, Implementation, Presentation, Done. With reflection questions for each stage, mandatory assignment, blocking logic, a milestone bar and an automatic archive. Plus checklists with @mentions, recurring tasks and shareable task links.
More about the Kanban board →
A ring brings all active signals together, split into House on fire, Standstill, Chaos, Drifting, Going it alone and Harmony, with the trend over the last two weeks. Below it: your tasks across all projects. Every Monday the weekly report sums up the week in its own channel.
How the city shows overload →
Channels for each expertise group and direct messages, with replies, reactions, polls and your own GIF collection. One tap turns any message into a task or a reminder. KlangCity transcribes voice messages automatically, full-text search finds everything again, and quiet hours and away status keep evenings free.
More about chat and calls →
Video calls on our own server, for groups and all-hands meetings. With an agenda vote beforehand, brainstorming in the sidebar, raising hands and drawing on the shared screen. If you agree before the call, our own Whisper instance transcribes what you say, and the minutes are written from that. The raw transcript is deleted afterwards. For new organisations, minutes are kept for 30 days at first, and your organisation can extend or remove that period. The analysis rates effectiveness from 0 to 100, and on request Klangi reads out the minutes or the weekly report.
More about meeting minutes →
Appointments, group calls and all-hands meetings. Klangi reminds you by direct message, from 5 minutes to 2 days before, and invites you straight into the call when it starts. Before group calls and all-hands meetings, the agenda arrives on your phone 48 hours ahead.
Each app has its own page.
Nora’s house is on fire. 4 tasks in 14 days, all urgent.
Free on the App Store and Google Play. Log in with the account you already have, or create a new one right in the app. Both apps are still in Early Access.
The assistant guides you through setup in 10 steps: profile, organisation (create one or join with a code) and your constitution, 14 short questions about how you make decisions. KlangCity adapts to your answers, and every rule can be changed on its own. The assistant speaks German for now.
Your first project and first task are created while you are still in the assistant, and they stand in front of you as a real building on your first visit to the city. Klangi flies you there.
The team works on the board, in chat and in meetings. The city grows live and shows where things are stuck before anyone notices in a meeting. The Klangi tour shows in 19 chapters what is where.
Signals about individual people are a sensitive topic. That is why you decide who sees them, what they are for and where your data is stored. Here you will find everything procurement, IT, data protection and the works council want to know. Try the permissions right here:
House on fire · NoraTimo sees on Nora’s house: House on fire.
On top of that, everyone chooses their own view: “My tasks”, “My circle” or “Whole organisation”.
The signals exist to take pressure off people and to share out work. They are not a tool for monitoring performance or behaviour, and no employment measures are based on them. This is set out contractually in Annex 4 of the data processing agreement. A task statistic is not a medical finding.
All 35 signals are calculated from your work data using fixed rules, without AI. For “Close collaboration”, only the number of direct messages between people in different groups counts, in steps from 10, 30 and 60 within 30 days. Only time and participants are read, never the content.
With the level “Off”, nobody sees signals about people. No hints about people are created, nothing that identifies a person goes to the AI, and Klangi does not answer questions about people. Projects, tasks and groups stay visible.
For companies with a works council (in Germany: Betriebsrat) there is an information sheet: what data is created, who sees what, which switches exist. Plus a live session in which we show the permissions directly in your city.
Anyone who looks at a task for at least five seconds briefly appears as a figure in the city, and the path to the building becomes more paved over time. Your organisation decides whether the figure shows a name. It is only visible internally.

The app runs on its own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main. Uploaded files are stored in the object storage of Hetzner Online GmbH in Falkenstein, transferred encrypted and only reachable via short-lived, signed links. Every night the database and files are backed up, encrypted at Hetzner: 14 days locally, 90 days externally.
For AI features, text goes to Anthropic’s Claude API, currently also in the USA and other countries. Files never go to the AI, with one exception: up to three design images in the material planning. The owner can switch off all AI features, and the signals keep running without AI.
Video calls and speech recognition run on the same server in Frankfurt, and nothing is recorded. Only people who agree before the call are transcribed, and the switch is off by default. The organisation can switch off transcripts entirely. The minutes are written from the text, then the raw lines are deleted. For new organisations, minutes are kept for 30 days at first, and the period can be adjusted.
Klangi explains signals, writes meeting minutes and the weekly report. For this we use models from Anthropic. This is exactly what goes out, and this stays with us:
Training on your data. Neither we nor Anthropic train models on your content. This is set out in our terms (section 13.5), in the data processing agreement (clause 1 and Annex 3) and in Anthropic’s terms for API customers.
At most this long Anthropic currently stores API inputs and outputs by default, up to 2 years for violations of its usage policies. We aim to agree Zero Data Retention with Anthropic by the end of 2026.
No EU-only processing. Anthropic does not offer it at the moment. Data is stored in the USA and also processed in other countries. The transfer is based on EU Standard Contractual Clauses and is set out in the data processing agreement.
One switch for everything. The owner switches off all AI features under Apps, Security, and every change is logged. Klangi respects it too and then only answers from the glossary and the tour. The signals keep running without AI.
Then we email the owners 30 days in advance, as set out in the data processing agreement (6.5) and our terms (13.9). You can switch off the AI at any time, and all core features keep working.
Sources on Anthropic: API and data retention, Anthropic Privacy Center (as of 1 July 2026), Data residency. Retrieved on 27 September 2026.
Authenticator app for everyone, and the organisation can require it.
All login attempts of the last 90 days, visible to each person.
If someone logs in from an unknown device, an email goes out immediately.
New passwords are checked against known data breaches. Only 5 characters of a hash leave the server.
Limit access to specific networks.
All irreversible actions, every change of the AI switch and every access via the support function are visible to the owner and admins.
TLS for every connection. Secrets are stored encrypted in the database, and the key is kept elsewhere.
Also for security reports, as described in our security.txt. No tracking in the app.
Messages, tasks and inbox contents are not end-to-end encrypted on our servers. Meeting minutes, weekly reports, the shared inbox and search need readable content. We say it here so that you know.
KlangCity is ready for everyday work, and Klangfeld has been running its own business with it since July 2026. Early Access means: we develop quickly, and you know in advance what is stable, what may still change and what is being built right now.
Task API and n8n webhooks (from Pro), shared email inboxes on your own domain, delivery of missed meeting minutes via WhatsApp (optional), push notifications on iPhone and Android.
The /api/v1 interface and the export format stay backward compatible for 24 months. We announce significant changes 30 days in advance (terms, section 5.6).
Basic shows where things are on fire today. Pro shows how things are developing and takes office work off your hands. Every new organisation can try Pro free for 30 days, with no card and no subscription.

You are evaluating KlangCity like any software vendor? Good. Here are the 20 questions procurement, IT, data protection and works councils ask, with our honest answers. We send the documents in the review pack.
As of October 2026: none yet. KlangCity is in Early Access, and Klangfeld has been running its own business with it since July 2026. The first three organisations become Early Access partners.
Not yet. That is exactly what the partner programme is for: three organisations, 40% off Pro or Business for 12 months, in return for being named and one reference call.
Not yet, because there are no paying customers yet. Reference calls come from the partner programme. Until then we show you KlangCity and its permissions live in a session.
KlangCity is developed and operated by Mittu Klangfeld UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in Cologne, Germany, registered at the Cologne local court under HRB 129013. Self-funded. The team is one person: development, support and data protection in one pair of hands. That is why our exit commitment applies, with 6 months’ notice if we shut down and export at any time (terms, section 12.4).
The product is ready for everyday use. Stable: tasks and Kanban, the city, chat, calendar, file storage, video calls, weekly report and export. In Early Access: meeting minutes, email inboxes, inventory and material planning, incoming invoices and the apps for iPhone and Android. See the maturity map.
The /api/v1 interface and the export format stay backward compatible for 24 months, and we announce significant changes 30 days in advance (terms, section 5.6). The target for calendar sync is the end of 2026, for single sign-on Q1 2027. The Android app has been on Google Play since October 2026. Private projects come first: if time gets tight, the others move back, and we say so in good time. Microsoft 365 and ERP on request.
The dedicated instance is available as an add-on on request, for Business: its own server in Germany with its own database, its own storage bucket and its own encrypted backups. Same code, separate keys, operated by us. The concept is in the review pack, and the price depends on the effort.
App, video calls and speech recognition: our own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main. Uploaded files and backups: Hetzner in Falkenstein. Backups are encrypted, kept 14 days locally and 90 days externally.

We handle payments through Stripe Payments Europe in Ireland under our own responsibility. Stripe therefore does not process any data on behalf of your organisation.
Audio is only processed in the memory of our server in Frankfurt and never stored. Transcription only happens with consent: the switch in the call is off by default, and whoever switches it on agrees. Under Apps, Security the organisation can switch off transcripts entirely. After the minutes are written, the raw transcript is deleted. All members can read minutes, in closed groups only their members, guests never. For new organisations they are deleted 30 days after the meeting, and your organisation can extend or remove that period.
Internal security reviews of code, servers and legal texts, most recently in September 2026, with AI-assisted code analysis. The review log with scope, method and results is available on request in the review pack.
Every night the database and files are backed up, encrypted at Hetzner. Maximum data loss is 24 hours, and a watchdog raises the alarm if a backup is older than 30 hours. Recovery time is estimated at 4 to 8 hours, not yet measured, with a target of 8 hours in the data processing agreement. Restore tests on 6, 24 and 26 September 2026, most recently from the encrypted external copy; the logs are in the review pack.
For the weekly report: first names, task titles, key figures and signals. For signal explanations: only the signal, person, group or project. Plus meeting transcripts, the title and description of new tasks for classification, your questions to Klangi and, for orders, the wishes without contact details. No audio, and files only as design images in material planning. The full list is under AI with cards on the table.
No. This is set out in our terms (section 13.5), in the data processing agreement (clause 1 and Annex 3) and in Anthropic’s terms for API customers.
In the Business plan: 99.0% availability, measured during service hours, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. German time. We respond to incident reports within 4 hours during that time, otherwise from the start of the next service period. The platform is monitored around the clock and restarts itself for the most common errors. Credit of 10% for each started 0.5 percentage points below target, at most one monthly fee. Announced maintenance of up to 4 hours a month and outages of the AI provider don’t count (terms, sections 5.5 and 13.7).
Yes. The owner downloads the whole organisation as a ZIP file: all areas as JSON and all files with names and folders, up to 8 GB. Each person also gets their personal export under Articles 15 and 20 GDPR, which is the only place direct messages appear. A sample export of the demo organisation is in the review pack.
Monthly plans: at any time, effective at the end of the month. Yearly plans: 12 months, cancel up to 30 days before the end, otherwise the contract renews for 12 months (terms, section 12.2). Export works at any time and until 30 days after the contract ends. Data disappears from backups after 90 days at the latest.
If we shut down, at least 6 months’ notice. If the company is sold, a special right to cancel with a pro-rata refund. Plus export at any time and until 30 days after the contract ends (terms, section 12.4).
Roles: owner, admin, member, guest. For confidential matters there are closed groups: admins or the group lead close a group, and then only its members see the group channels and the minutes of their group calls. They protect against colleagues, not against the owner; if the owner adds themselves, the group sees it. Only the people involved see direct messages, and guests can only read. Private projects are planned for Q4 2026 and have top priority on the roadmap; until then projects, tasks, file storage and calendar are visible to the whole organisation. Two-factor can be made mandatory, access can be restricted to specific networks, and a log shows all irreversible actions and every access via the support function.
The owner chooses one of five levels: all members, person and leads, the person with numbers per group for leads, only the person, or off. New organisations start with “Person and leads”. The team view prevents KlangCity from flagging individual people. Tasks with priority and assignee stay visible to everyone until private projects arrive. Guests never see signals about people. The owner decides with a separate switch whether the AI may write anything about the wellbeing or behaviour of individuals in the weekly report; it is off by default. The purpose limitation is set out in Annex 4 of the data processing agreement: taking pressure off people and sharing out work, no monitoring of performance or behaviour. Try it out or ask us to show you live.
KlangCity comes from Cologne, Germany, and is developed and operated by Mittu Klangfeld UG. Klangfeld has been running its own business with KlangCity since July 2026.
As set out in our terms, sections 12.2 and 12.4.
Yes. The app, including the iPhone and Android apps, is available in English. You choose your language when you sign up and can change it at any time under Settings → Me → Language. The legally binding versions of our terms, data processing agreement and privacy policy are in German; English courtesy translations are being reviewed. You can explore the live city without signing up.
In Germany: the app runs on our own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main, and so do video meetings (LiveKit) and speech recognition (Whisper). Files and backups are stored at Hetzner in Falkenstein. Audio never leaves the server, and the raw transcript is deleted once the minutes are written. For the AI features, text goes to Anthropic, also to the USA and other countries. All services outside the EU are listed in the data processing agreement.
The owner of your organisation decides, in five levels: all members, person and leads, the person with numbers per group for leads, only the person, or off. New organisations start with “Person and leads”. Guests never see them. On top of that, everyone can narrow their view to “My tasks” or “My circle”.
With two-factor login, which you can make mandatory for the whole organisation, a list of recent login attempts, retention periods for old data and a data export for each person and the whole organisation.
No. The complete AI layer with signal explanations, meeting minutes, weekly report and chat bot is included in every plan. In Basic, the AI writes 4 meeting minutes a month. After that, the minutes are put together without AI from the task changes. From Pro, there is no limit.
Yes. All 35 city signals are calculated deterministically from your work data, without any AI. The AI features fall back cleanly to rule-based logic. The owner can switch off all AI features with one switch.
Yes, with the guest role: guests come in with their own guest code and can read the overview, the city, projects, tasks and the calendar, but cannot change anything. They don’t see file storage, chat, email, meeting minutes, the weekly report or signals about people. Guests don’t count as people in your plan.
They become finished buildings. After seven days the city moves them to the archive automatically, so the board and the skyline stay current. Nothing gets lost.
Yes. For iPhone there is KlangCity on the App Store, for Android on Google Play, each with push notifications for chat, tasks and appointments. In the browser, the web app runs on any phone, the 3D city included. The apps speak German for now.
Yes, with closed groups. Then only their members see the group channels and the minutes of their group calls, only admins and leads can add people, and the weekly report leaves these meetings out. Private projects are planned for Q4 2026. Until then, projects, tasks, file storage and calendar are visible to the whole organisation.
Yes. The sample city Nordlicht Studio runs with real signals and a short guided tour, without sign-up, on your phone too. With your own account, you can try Pro free for 30 days, with no card and no subscription. During the trial, people and storage stay as in Basic, and shared email inboxes come only with a booked Pro plan. After that, KlangCity Basic is free for good for up to 5 people.
Yes, at any time. Basic shows where things are on fire today. Pro shows how things are developing and takes office work off your hands. When your city grows, you simply move to the bigger plan.
Basic includes 5 GB per organisation, Pro 1 TB and Business 2 TB. If that is not enough, you can add storage in steps of 1 TB through your subscription and reduce it again at any time.
Look around the live city first, then start for free. Basic stays free. For Pro and Business, write to us and we will get back to you personally.
