Internal communication for companies of 20–250
Your people will tell you what is wrong— if they don’t have to sign it
Voks is an anonymous idea wall inside your company, behind a printed QR code. Somebody writes down the problem and the fix for it, colleagues rank the posts with ten points a month, and you see the order — then answer in the same place, under your own name.

What you get out of it
Two walls behind one QR code
On one of them your people write, anonymously. On the other you answer, under your own name. An anonymous wall with no way to answer goes quiet within a month.
Somebody scans the code on the wall and posts a problem and the fix that goes with it — the form will not send a complaint without one. Colleagues spend their ten monthly points on the ones that matter, and the wall stands in that order. You do not have to work out what is important: your own people put it in order.
Management posts topics and answers on the managers’ board, under their own names, for everyone to read. That is what makes the channel two-way: not a complaints box you read and close, but a wall you answer back on.
Three arguments
Before you read on
These three questions decide whether a wall like this works inside a company, or stands empty after a fortnight.
The first question an owner asks is why anybody should believe it. They should not have to. A row on the idea wall carries no name, no e-mail address, no IP address, no browser id and no session id. The marker that lets somebody edit their own post lives in a separate table with no foreign key leading anywhere, and a database rule forbids a post from having a name and a marker at the same time. There is no geolocation in the code, and no per-request log.
Voting stays named, because a monthly allowance cannot be enforced any other way. That does not spoil the anonymity, and it is worth saying out loud to your own people: a vote records who voted — never who wrote.
Why it can be checked: the database schema is open and the automated tests assert exactly this — a marker table with no foreign key, a database rule that forbids the pair, zero request logs, zero geolocation. Every other vendor answers this question with a privacy policy; that has to be believed, this can be looked at.
There is no app to install, no single sign-on to integrate and no mail server to configure. You paste in the list of company e-mail addresses, everybody gets a single-use sign-in link for you to hand out, you print one A4 QR poster, and you put it up by the coffee machine. That is the whole rollout.
Everybody has ten points a month and can spend no more — the allowance is held by the database, not by the form. Somebody who votes for everything votes for nothing. Add the problem-and-fix pair to that, and an anonymous post still takes work.
The proof is a live demo, not a screenshot
The workplace below is the real system on a real database — not a gallery, and not a recorded animation. It reads without signing in, the same as it does for somebody who has just scanned the code in the corridor.
A month of use at a ten-person company: anonymous ideas in score order, and the managers’ posts under a manager’s name.
Open itThis is what goes on the wall. Black and white, one sheet, and the QR code prints 150 mm wide — readable from a metre and a half away.
Take a lookWhat works today
Not a plan — what is running now
This list is what you can switch on today. Anything not on it is not finished.
- An anonymous idea wall — problem and fix as a pair; without the fix it does not send
- Ten voting points a month — per person, with the wall ordered by score
- A managers’ board — management posts and answers under their own names
- Sign-in by single-use link — no e-mail sent; the phone stays signed in for 90 days
- Roles — only a manager posts to the managers’ board; everybody reads it
- The wall downloads as a CSV — from the Manage page: whatever goes up during the pilot stays yours
- Adding and removing people — a leaver loses access at once, along with the session on their phone and any link not yet handed out
- A printable A4 QR poster — for every workplace
- No geolocation, no tracking, no per-request log — and no third party either: no CDN, no font service, no analytics service or tracking code
The Voks idea wall is not a statutory whistleblowing channel, and Voks makes nobody compliant with anything. Where a report needs the protection your country’s law gives — an acknowledgement inside a set number of days, a formal investigation, protected status for the person reporting — that does not belong here.
The two live side by side, and the system says so out loud: a workplace can set the name and the link of its own reporting channel, and every person sees it at the top of the idea wall. We do not sell compliance, obligation or protection from a fine — where the law requires you to run a reporting system, this software does not stand in for it.
What does it cost?
A free pilot
The pilot is free: no fee, no card and nothing to install. You set the workplace up yourself, in about two minutes: sign in with a mixtape account, name your company, paste in your colleagues’ addresses and print one A4 poster.
If the service is ever charged for, we will say so in advance. Whatever goes on the wall during the pilot stays with the workplace: it downloads as a CSV from the Manage page at any time — the anonymous ideas without an author, of course.
