Done with Excel and WhatsApp. Your congregation, finally organized
Stop chasing monthly reports, redrawing territory cards, and burying letters in WhatsApp. Unitae puts every responsibility — territories, programmes, reports, the board — in one place. Most congregations get back a full Sunday afternoon every month.

Built by a ministerial servant, for congregations · Used daily by a congregation in France
The brother who takes this on shouldn't spend Sunday afternoon wrestling Excel.
Scattered tools
An Excel file for territories, WhatsApp for announcements, paper sheets for reports. Information gets lost, brothers waste time, and nothing is centralized.
Territories that are hard to maintain
Addresses change, buildings evolve, maps become outdated. The territory servant spends hours updating cards that are already out of date.
Reports to collect every month
Chasing publishers for their reports, compiling numbers by hand, generating summaries… Hours of repetitive work every single month.
That’s five to ten hours a month. Every month. For a volunteer.
Here is what changes when your congregation uses Unitae: the territory servant stops chasing addresses, reports arrive on time, and every member logs in to find what matters to them.
All the territory work, none of the spreadsheet upkeep
Much more than simple attribution tracking. Unitae helps you create, maintain, and use your territories on a daily basis.
A living address database
A new building in your territory? Add it in seconds. Addresses update automatically thanks to open data.
- Door-to-door, universities, businesses, telephone, hotels and more
- Addresses stay current automatically — new buildings appear without anyone typing them
- Interactive maps with Google Maps integration
Ready-to-use exports
Generate an S-13 in one click. Create territory cards as PDFs with embedded maps, ready to hand out.
- Hand a publisher a territory card in five seconds — map included
- S-13 report generated in one click, no manual compilation
- Export your own analyses as CSV whenever you need
Clear and visual tracking
See at a glance which territories are overdue, which are available, and how coverage is evolving.
- Attribution and overdue tracking
- Statistics by theocratic year (September–August)
- Overview for each territory
“I’ve been in many congregations, but what you have for splitting and managing territories — I’ve never seen anything like it. A tool that uses real building data to enrich territories is brilliant. It’s truly the first time I’ve seen that.”
An elder and service committee secretary — France
No more calling five brothers to find out who’s available Thursday
Define your meeting structures, assign speakers, detect conflicts — and export polished PDFs ready to print.
- Recurring and one-off programme templates
- Parallel parts for simultaneous rooms or groups
- Three-month rotation history at a glance — no one gets picked twice in a row
- Automatic conflict detection with days off
- PDF export filtered by template and date range
- Delegate template management to specific elders
One login. Every responsibility covered.
The territory servant sees overdue cards. The secretary sees missing reports. A publisher sees their next assignment. Everyone logs in once.
Publishers and reports
Every month, reports are in. Hours, studies, pioneer service — everything is recorded. Export the annual summary in one click.
Information board
Branch letters, schedules, announcements: your documents are organized by section and displayed at the right time.
Your dashboard
Each member sees what matters to them: assigned territories, upcoming assignments, latest documents, and reported absences.
Same features. You choose who manages the server.
Same features, same open-source code. The only difference: who manages the server.
When you subscribe, you’re funding the next feature for every congregation using Unitae — including the ones running it for free.
Self-hosted
Deploy on your own server. Same code, same features.
- All features included
- Unlimited publishers
- Unlimited territories
- Unlimited storage
- Community updates
- GDPR ready
Best for congregations with a technically skilled member who wants full control.
Managed hosting
Backups run every night. Certificates renew themselves. Updates ship while you sleep. You open a browser and your congregation is there.
- Ready in 30 seconds — no server needed
- Daily backups, we handle recovery
- Automatic updates — always the latest version
- Priority support by email
- Dedicated subdomain (your-congregation.unitae.app)
- Cancel anytime — export all your data, no lock-in
The data most congregations keep on a personal laptop.
The security and privacy of your data are not optional. They are at the heart of every decision.
No tracking cookies
No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Unitae uses only a session cookie strictly necessary for authentication.
GDPR compliant by design
Every feature is designed to comply with European data protection regulations.
Hosted in France
Your data is stored at OVH in Gravelines (France). No primary transfer outside the European Union.
Roles draw the right circle
Each member only sees what their role grants — a publisher sees their card, a group overseer sees their group, elders configure who sees what. Sensitive information stays inside the right circle.
Move in. Move out. Both directions.
The same code runs hosted and self-hosted, so your congregation can switch sides whenever — with every territory, publisher and document intact. No vendor lock-in: a real round trip, not a one-way escape hatch.
Isolation enforced by PostgreSQL
Each congregation’s data is enforced at the PostgreSQL level with Row-Level Security. A bug in the app cannot make one congregation’s data appear in another’s view — it’s architecturally impossible.
Roles you actually shape
Built-in roles (Elder, Pioneer, Anointed and more) come ready, and 20 fine-grained permissions let you build custom roles like ‘Service committee’ or ‘Group overseer’. Each responsibility gets exactly the tools it needs — nothing more.
GDPR tools and an audit log, built in
Data export (Articles 15 & 20), user anonymisation (Article 17 — with a deletion ledger), consent management, and a comprehensive audit log of sensitive operations. Not bolted on — designed in from day one.
14-day free trial · no credit card required
Every line of code is open. On purpose.
If we hide the code, we ask you to trust us. If we publish it, anyone in your congregation can verify us. We chose the second one.
Auditable by anyone
A technically skilled brother in your congregation can read every line of code on GitHub tonight. He can see exactly how passwords are hashed, how data is isolated between congregations, and what happens when someone deletes an account. There is nothing hidden.

Questions we actually get asked
Is the free trial really no-commitment?
Yes. For 14 days, you have access to all features without providing a credit card. At the end of the trial, you choose whether to continue or not.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. Your data is hosted in France (OVH, Gravelines), encrypted, and isolated from other congregations at the database level. Unitae is GDPR compliant by design.
What if we want to switch between hosted and self-hosted?
You can go either way, whenever you want. Hosted and self-hosted run the same code, so a full export from one side imports cleanly into the other — territories, publishers, documents, programmes, everything. No vendor lock-in: a real round trip, not a one-way escape hatch.
What is the difference between managed hosting and self-hosting?
The features are strictly identical. With managed hosting, we handle the server, backups, updates, and TLS certificate. Self-hosting requires Docker and a Linux server.
How many publishers can I add?
Managed hosting supports up to 200 publishers — more than enough for most congregations. Self-hosted instances have no limit at all. If your congregation needs more on managed hosting, contact us.
Is the interface available in English?
Yes, the interface is available in both French and English. You can switch languages at any time from your account settings.
Who develops Unitae?
Unitae was built by a ministerial servant who serves as territory servant in his congregation in France. He got tired of managing territories in Excel. It’s developed by MindsersIT (Lyon) and the codebase is open source — anyone can contribute.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
You can export all your data at any time. No lock-in. If you cancel, your data is deleted within 30 days, unless legally required to retain it.
Can I manage meeting programmes and speaker assignments?
Yes. You can define recurring programme templates, assign speakers and service roles, detect conflicts with members' days off, and export polished PDFs. Each template can even be delegated to a specific brother.
Your next month-end. No chase this time.
Get your Sunday afternoons back.
