Overview
Candune is our own product — built from the ground up by the Just Purple team. It's the ultimate productivity app that transforms how teams work, combining intuitive file management with powerful version control in a clean, beautiful interface.
Why We Built It
We kept seeing the same frustrations across our client projects and our own workflows:
- Scattered file storage — Teams juggling multiple cloud drives, local folders, and email attachments with no unified view.
- No version history — Critical changes overwritten without a trace, causing costly rework.
- Poor collaboration — Existing tools were either too complex (built for developers) or too simple (lacking real version control).
We decided to solve the problem ourselves — building a tool that gives every team, not just engineers, the power of version control with the simplicity of a consumer-grade app.
What We Built
As both the product owners and engineering team, we had full creative and technical control:
- Product design & UX research — Ran user interviews and designed a flow that felt intuitive from the first click. Every interaction was optimised for speed and clarity.
- Modern web application — Built with a performant frontend and scalable backend, ensuring snappy performance even with large file repositories.
- Version control engine — Developed a custom versioning system that tracks every change, allows branching and rollback, and presents history in a visual timeline anyone can understand.
- Real-time collaboration — Integrated live presence indicators, comments, and notifications so teams stay in sync without switching tools.
- Cloud infrastructure — Deployed on a multi-region cloud architecture with CDN-backed file delivery for consistently fast access worldwide.
