Vroff is a Swedish all-in-one digital workspace that bundles video meetings, threaded chat, project management, a shared calendar, and team metrics into a single platform. Built around a rooms model — team members move between rooms to see who is available and collaborate in real time, similar to Discord but positioned for work. Developed and hosted in Sweden by the privately-owned Zápas Group (parent of SMS Teknik, TellusTalk, and InTime, a 20+ year Swedish software operator). Data is AES-encrypted at rest on Swedish cloud infrastructure; the product complies with GDPR, DORA, and NIS2. End-to-end encryption is on the roadmap but not yet shipped, and a native mobile app is planned for summer 2026. Free for up to 100 users per office.
