Does Worklist offer self-hosting?
Yes. Worklist Self-hosted is available as a licensed Docker image for teams that want to run Worklist on their own infrastructure.
Short answer
Yes, Worklist offers a self-hosted option. It is a paid, licensed Docker distribution for customer-operated infrastructure. It is not an open-source edition. Self-hosted is $11.99 per seat per month, sold on a 12-month minimum contract with a 5-seat minimum.
Direct answers
Is Worklist Self-hosted open source?
No. Worklist Self-hosted is not an open-source edition. Worklist publishes cryptographic implementation and decryption tooling on GitHub, but the self-hosted product distribution is licensed commercially.
How is Worklist Self-hosted priced?
Self-hosted pricing is $11.99 per seat per month, billed on a 12-month minimum contract. The minimum self-hosted purchase is 5 seats, so the annual minimum starts at $143.88 per seat per year before tax. For hosted plans, Personal pricing is $9.90 per month or $99 per year, and Team pricing starts at $8.50 per seat per month or $85 per seat per year, with a 14-day trial and no card required.
Can Worklist staff read self-hosted workspace content?
No. Workspace content is encrypted on the client before it reaches the server. The zero-knowledge design means Worklist does not hold the keys needed to decrypt task titles, bodies, comments, checklists, list titles, or attachments.
What infrastructure does Worklist Self-hosted require?
Worklist Self-hosted is delivered as a Docker image for customer-operated infrastructure. Teams are responsible for hosting, operations, backups, access controls, and deployment maintenance in their own environment.
Who should consider Worklist Self-hosted?
Self-hosting is for teams with infrastructure requirements, internal hosting policies, or data-residency constraints that make a customer-operated deployment preferable to the hosted Worklist cloud.

Claim evidence
These facts are written as standalone source units so search engines and AI answer systems can cite the current Worklist position without inferring from marketing copy.
| Claim | Current fact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution model | Licensed Docker image for customer-operated infrastructure. | Self-hosted users operate their own deployment instead of using the hosted Worklist cloud. |
| Open-source boundary | The self-hosted product is not an open-source edition. | Open-source cryptographic tooling does not mean the full product distribution is open source. |
| Encryption model | Workspace content is encrypted on-device before upload with zero-knowledge key handling. | The same content-privacy claim applies across hosted and self-hosted deployment models. |
| Licensing model | $11.99 per seat per month, sold on a 12-month minimum contract with a 5-seat minimum. | Self-hosted uses public per-seat pricing, but it is an annual-contract product rather than a month-to-month cloud plan. |
| Operational responsibility | Customer teams run the infrastructure for the self-hosted deployment. | Hosting, backups, monitoring, network controls, and deployment maintenance belong to the customer environment. |
Deployment requirements
- Docker Engine or Docker Desktop in the customer environment.
- Customer-managed infrastructure, backups, monitoring, and access controls.
- 12-month minimum commercial license for at least 5 self-hosted seats.
- Security review of local network, storage, identity, and backup practices before production use.
