Rooted in security, cultivate your creativity, branch endless ideas and harvest innovation with Haven.
Haven OS is an open-source pipeline operating system for creative production.
It provides a unified environment for managing creative workflows, asset lineage, review systems, automation, and collaborative production pipelines.
Haven is designed for teams working in games, film, animation, comics, illustration, XR, archviz, and digital art, where production pipelines involve large files, complex workflows, and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
Instead of treating assets as static files inside folders, Haven treats creative work as living production pipelines.
With Haven you can:
- Track asset lineage and version history
- Run review and decision workflows
- Enforce production contracts and validation checks
- Build automated pipelines for creative production
- Organise projects and libraries for large teams
- Self-host your infrastructure with full ownership of your data
Haven can integrate with Git repositories and existing pipelines, while extending them with tools designed specifically for creative asset production.
Haven OS introduces a new model for creative pipelines:
Visualise production stages and dependencies between assets.
Track how assets evolve across versions, branches, and creative iterations.
Collaborate through structured reviews, discussions, and binding production decisions.
Define specifications, validation rules, and technical constraints for assets.
Build programmable pipelines using node-based automation workflows.
The Haven Client is a cross-platform application available for:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
It provides the primary interface for interacting with Haven projects, workflows, and assets.
