RADIS

One point of reference

Your reality check for a world of ideas.

Three tools that keep you oriented: a CRM that quotes properly, a mind mapper built for two people at once, and a note taker that respects a pencil. One login opens all three. They install to your home screen, work on a laptop or a tablet, and keep your data in a database you can point at.

No card, no sales call, no app store. Every app has a free tier you can work in.

Three tools. One direction.

Everything you need to keep your bearings.

Capture what matters, understand how it connects, and stay close to the people who move your work forward. Separately, each one is a good app. Together, they are one place you already know your way around.

One login, three apps

Sign in to any of them and the others already know you. Maps you make in the CRM open in Mind, because they are the same maps.

One set of habits

The same rail, the same search, the same shortcuts, the same shape of dialog. Learn one and you have most of the next.

Nothing to install

They are web apps. Add one to a home screen on iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows or Mac and it keeps itself up to date.

Sell and quote

Binnacle CRM

radis.co.za/crm

Know your world. Relationships, conversations and opportunities in view, so you always know what matters next — with a quote builder that does its arithmetic in the database, so what you see on screen and what the customer receives can never drift apart.

  • A pipeline you drag. Your own pipelines and stages, with deals that carry a value, a forecast date and an owner.
  • Quotes and order forms. A catalogue, prices set for one customer only, discounts that show their working, and quote numbers handed out atomically so two people quoting at once cannot collide.
  • The whole conversation. Notes, calls, emails and meetings on one timeline, against the person and the company.
  • Regions and currencies. An organisation can have regions beneath it, each trading in its own currency, converted for the group total.
  • Five roles, enforced below the screen. Owner, admin, manager, member, read-only — applied by the database, not by hiding buttons.

Think and decide

Binnacle Mind icon

Binnacle Mind

radis.co.za/mind

Navigate your thinking. Turn scattered thoughts into a connected landscape that shows the bigger picture — and do it with other people in the room. Several of you can be on the same map at the same moment, watching each other's cursors move.

  • Genuinely live. Presence, cursors and who is holding which topic. Every topic is its own row, so two people editing different branches never overwrite each other.
  • Run the brainstorm. A sprint timer, rapid capture, eight thinking frameworks and dot voting to close it out.
  • Then present it. Focus-zoom slides, speaker notes, follow-the-presenter, and a read-only link for people without an account.
  • Then do it. Owners, dates and status on any topic, rolled up the tree and read back as a task table, a board or a timeline.
  • 44 templates, and a pencil. Sketch on a scratch pad and have the handwriting read into a map — the ink is kept, because the handwriting is the record.

Write and mark up

Binnacle Note icon

Binnacle Note

radis.co.za/note

Capture your thoughts before they disappear into the noise. A notebook for a tablet that is still a notebook on a laptop: write with a pencil, type, drop in a photograph, import a PDF and mark it up — all on layers, so what you write sits above what you were given.

  • Pencil or no pencil. A finger draws until a stylus turns up, then it scrolls. Pressure where the device reports it, palm rejection once a pen has been seen.
  • PDF in, PDF out. Each page of an imported PDF becomes a locked layer with a blank one above it. Export the notebook back out at its own page size.
  • Record the meeting. Audio attaches to the page and is transcribed alongside, so the transcript makes the page searchable later.
  • Shapes that behave. Twenty shapes from one drag, freehand circles and lines straightened when you meant them to be, and a lasso that picks a selection up and turns it.
  • Your own toolbar. Floating, dragged where you want it, docked to an edge if you drop it near one, holding the tools you actually use.

The idea behind the mark

The binnacle is your reality check.

A ship's binnacle houses the compass that keeps the navigator oriented — braced against the roll, lit through the night, built so the instrument inside can be trusted when nothing outside the window can be. These three do the same job for a working week: the CRM keeps you connected, Note keeps you thinking, and Mind helps you make sense of it all.

binnacle /ˈbɪnəkl̩ / noun
The stand beside the ship's wheel that holds the compass steady and lit, so that a bearing taken in the dark is still a bearing you can steer by.

Stay oriented. Think clearly. Move forward.

Under the housing

Boring where it should be boring.

The interesting parts of these apps are on the screen. Everything underneath is deliberately unexciting, because that is what makes it keep working.

Your data is in Postgres, and the rules are in there with it

Every table is behind row-level security. What you can see and change is decided by the database, so it holds even for somebody poking at it from a browser console. Roles are not a matter of which buttons are hidden.

One login across all three

Sign in to the CRM and Mind opens beside it without asking again. The hand-off is a one-time token redeemed by the browser and thrown away — no password is ever passed between apps.

Install it, then forget about updating it

Add to a home screen and it behaves like an app: full screen, its own icon, and a service worker that checks for a newer version and offers it. Offline, it opens the last version you had.

AI where it earns its place

Reading handwriting, drafting a map from a paragraph, pulling the actions out of a page. It runs through a server-side proxy, so the key never reaches the browser, and each person has a daily allowance. Nothing is sent anywhere until you ask for it.

One file per app, no build step

Each app is a single index.html of plain JavaScript. Nothing is compiled, nothing is bundled, and a fix is one file uploaded. That is why these three keep pace with each other.

Nothing you can't take with you

Maps export to PNG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, OPML and JSON. Notebooks export to PDF. Quotes and pipelines come out as CSV. It is your work.

Getting started

Start free. Pay when you outgrow it.

Each app has a free tier that is a real working account, not a countdown. Paid plans are being finalised — until they are, say what you need and it gets sorted out directly. Explore further without losing your bearings.

Questions

Before you sign up

Do I have to use all three?
No. They are separate apps with separate accounts of their own, and plenty of people will only ever want one. The shared login is a convenience if you do use more than one, not a condition of using any.
Where does my data actually live?
In Postgres, on Supabase, in the European Union. Each app has its own database project; Mind and Note share one. Access is enforced by row-level security policies in the database itself, which is what makes "read-only" mean read-only.
Will it work on my iPad?
Yes — Note was built for one first. Open it in Safari, add it to your home screen, and it runs full screen with its own icon. Mind and the CRM install the same way, on iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
What happens to my work if I stop paying?
An expired plan simply reads as the free plan again. Nothing is deleted and nothing is scheduled to be deleted — you keep what is over the free limit, you just cannot add more until you are back under it or paying again.
How do I pay?
By arrangement, for now. There is no payment gateway in the apps yet: you pay, the account is switched over, and you carry on. Email info@radis.co.za and it stays that simple.
Can I get my work back out?
Always, and without asking anyone. Maps export to PNG, SVG, PDF, Markdown, OPML and JSON; notebooks export to PDF; the CRM exports tables as CSV.
Who is behind this?
RADIS, in Gordon's Bay, Western Cape. The three apps are built and run by one person, which is the reason support is an email to a human and the reason the roadmap moves in whichever direction the people using them push it.
