# About Cablefolio

> Cablefolio exists because the people who install and look after networks deserve documentation that is as easy to keep up to date on site as it is to read in the office.

## Why we built it

Most network documentation is written once, after the job, by someone who was not there, in a spreadsheet and a drawing that disagree within a month. The technician in the comms room — the person who actually knows which port goes where — has a phone, a label printer, and no signal.

Cablefolio starts there. It is built so the technician records the install while doing it, on a phone, offline, and the office gets rack drawings, port maps, floor plans, topology, and a handover report from that record without anyone redrawing anything.

## What we will and will not build

Cablefolio is **documentation, not monitoring**. It never scans, polls, or connects to your network, and it never will: that keeps it simple to trust and simple to run, and it leaves monitoring to the tools built for it.

It is built for the physical install — racks, ports, cable runs, rooms, floors — and for the people who hand sites over to clients.

## How we build it

- **One record.** Each fact is kept once; every drawing, label, and report is generated from it.
- **Honest software.** When something cannot work — no signal, no permission, a rule broken — Cablefolio says so in words instead of pretending.
- **Secure by default.** Credentials are encrypted, every reveal is audited, and nothing secret is ever logged, exported, or kept offline.
- **Accessible.** The app and this website aim for WCAG 2.2 AA, checked automatically on every change.
- **Tested.** Every feature ships with tests where it runs, and a planted defect that must turn those tests red before it counts as built.

## Independent, and reachable

Cablefolio is independent software, built and supported directly by the people who make it — there is no outsourced help desk. Write to us from the [support page](https://cablefolio.com/support/) and a person who knows the product answers.
