Manager workspace

Idara

A manager's desk for a government or corporate office: requests waiting for a decision, my tasks and my team's tasks, the official letters and the meetings, every morning on one page.

The goal

Managers in offices live between paper, e-mail and phone calls: decisions wait, tasks are forgotten and letters have no owner. Idara puts every decision, task, letter and meeting in one register with a clear owner.

What it shows

Approvals: Paths of up to five approvers, decisions with files, history by round, delegation while away.
Tasks: Tasks for me and my team, with numbers, deadlines and updates.
Correspondence: A real register of incoming and outgoing letters; a reply closes the incoming letter.
Meetings: Invitations, attendance, minutes and printable minutes with signature boxes.
Reports: On-time rates, decision times, team and department reports, print and PDF.
Safe updates: A database migrator and an update installer with backups, tests and automatic roll-back.

Security controls

Control	What it stops
Two-step sign-in (TOTP)	A stolen password alone.
Scoped search and pages	People seeing tasks and letters that are not theirs.
Delegation records who decided for whom	Decisions nobody can trace.
Prepared statements and CSRF tokens	SQL injection and forged actions.
Installer that cannot run again	Resetting a live system from the internet.

Try it yourself

# PHP 8.1+ with pdo_sqlite (or MySQL). No framework, no Composer, no build step.
php -S 127.0.0.1:8080          # or upload the folder to any PHP hosting
# open http://127.0.0.1:8080/install.php → SQLite or MySQL → the first admin account
php seed.php                    # optional: demo data with users for every role

What I learned

In offices, the history of a decision matters as much as the decision.
Hijri and Gregorian dates, Arabic first: local details decide if people use a system.
A safe update path (backup, test, roll-back) is part of the product.
