Run work with a clear system.

Okatana connects organizations, controlled project access, configurable Kanban workflows, tickets, documents, audit history, and integrations in one Laravel and React application. This manual covers the system from first sign-in through production operation and extension.

Choose your path

Evaluate Okatana

Understand the domain, principal workflows, deployment shape, and what the system deliberately does not require.

Use the workspace

Learn daily navigation, project boards, ticket collaboration, documents, notifications, analytics, and history.

Administer teams

Model access, invite members, manage integrations, preserve audit evidence, and transfer data safely.

Operate a deployment

Install with SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL; configure mail and queues; back up; monitor; and troubleshoot.

Automate work

Create scoped bearer credentials, call the versioned API, consume signed webhooks, and handle failures.

Extend the codebase

Trace requests across React and Laravel, understand the persistence and security boundaries, and run the quality suite.

System in one minute

OrganizationMembership, roles, invitations, integrations, and global documents.

ProjectExplicit access, workflow phases, labels, tags, analytics, and project documents.

TicketPriority, assignment, rich text, files, comments, movement, and revisions.

EvidenceAppend-only audit events, portable exports, and signed webhook deliveries.

Okatana is a single deployable Laravel application. React is compiled into browser assets; Laravel owns authentication, authorization, validation, persistence, queues, mail, exports, and external calls. The default SQL-backed session, cache, and queue setup means a complete small installation needs only the application and one supported SQL database.

Two documentation surfaces

This MkDocs site is the complete product manual at /docs/. The Scalar API reference remains the executable OpenAPI console at /docs/api; both use the same visual language but serve different jobs.
