Ten top features

What the app can do

  1. 01

    Permanent offline license without single point of failure

    The hub verifies signed license tokens locally against the embedded public key; without an expiry date they do not expire, device binding is only checked if set.

  2. 02

    Apps and updates from one place

    Install, update and launch all suite apps directly in the hub, including .zip and .dmg installation formats.

  3. 03

    Team management with asset and version sync

    Create teams, invite members and assign transferable licenses; sync engines keep assets and the version index in sync between devices.

  4. 04

    Local asset library with full-text search

    Manage assets, tags, customers and projects; thumbnails are generated in the background, archives, audio, video and 3D files get their own previews.

  5. 05

    Brandkit management including vector backgrounds

    Colour palettes with colour roles, font whitelist, paragraph and character styles plus twelve SVG backgrounds per sample brandkit, effective across the suite.

  6. 06

    Version archive with rollback

    List all document versions clearly, mark any version as current and open it in the appropriate app.

  7. 07

    Shared project directories with conflict resolution

    Link local folders to the workspace; in case of version conflicts the user chooses between their own, the server or both versions.

  8. 08

    Learning area with curated learning paths

    Four intent-ordered paths lead through manuals and tutorials; progress is saved locally.

  9. 09

    Plugin store with signed external plugins

    External .annexplugin bundles are checked for Ed25519 signatures, their permissions are shown before activation and enforced in the execution path.

  10. 10

    Menu-bar mini hub

    License status and installed apps are reachable via the status item without the main window open; can be disabled in settings.

Availability

AnnexHub is free and not part of any bundle — it is the entry point to the suite, no matter which apps you use later.
