Nuclino
Notes and Workspaces Germany
Bootstrapped European wiki workspace for notes and team knowledge. Alternative to Notion.
Details
Nuclino is a wiki-style collaborative workspace from the bootstrapped Munich company of the same name. It centres on linked documents with a fast keyboard-first editor, lightweight databases, and visual graph and board views for navigating between connected items.
Teams use it for engineering wikis, product docs, onboarding handbooks, and lightweight project tracking. Buyers compare it on speed, link-graph quality, the absence of feature bloat, and how its EU hosting and no-tracking stance compare to Notion’s cloud-default model.
About Nuclino
Nuclino is a Munich-based collaborative workspace founded in 2015 by Björn Michelsen, Veronika Fischer, and Jonathan Kienzle. Nuclino GmbH is 100% founder-owned, profitable, and has taken no outside funding — the team has shipped the product on revenue alone for a decade.
The product is a deliberately small, fast wiki-style workspace for documents, knowledge bases, and lightweight project tracking, with European hosting (Frankfurt) and a strict no-tracking, no-third-party-analytics policy. It is positioned as a calmer, sovereign alternative to Notion and Confluence for European teams that want EU data residency and minimal feature creep.
