We know that reading about a product only gets you so far. Sometimes you just want to open it up and click around. So we built a live demo — a fully working instance of Cannelle, pre-loaded with sample data, that anyone can access right now.
No sign-up form, no sales call, no credit card. Just a running application you can explore at your own pace.
On the login page you will see an email field. Do not use your own email address — use the shared demo address instead, and Cannelle will handle the rest.
// use this email to log in
demo@cannelle.io
Enter this address on the login page and click Send me my magic link. The link goes to the shared demo inbox — you will be logged in automatically. No sign-up, no inbox of your own needed.
// at a glance
// how the magic link works
Cannelle uses passwordless login — you enter an email address and receive a one-time link in your inbox. For the demo, the link goes to the shared demo inbox, which the login flow handles automatically. You just click the button and you are in. If you are new to magic link login, read our post on how it works.
The demo comes loaded with a realistic set of sample data — clients, projects, quotes, invoices, and tasks. Nothing is locked or hidden. You can click into any record, open any screen, and get a real sense of how the application fits together.
The dashboard
Your first screen after logging in. Open the widget selector (top-right) to see how the layout can be configured.
A client record
Go to Sales → Clients, pick any client, and explore the tabs — Overview, Details, Events, Messages, Documents, History. This is where most of the day-to-day work happens.
A project
Open Projects and click into one. You will see tasks, assigned resources, financial data, and the full project timeline.
The invoicing module
Head to Invoicing to see how quotes become invoices. Try opening a draft invoice and toggling through the statuses.
Atelier
The client-facing portal. Open a separate browser tab and go to demo.cannelle.io/atelier to see what your clients experience.
The demo is shared — anyone who visits can log in and make changes. To keep things clean and usable for everyone, the content resets every day. All data goes back to the default sample set, and any changes made during the day are wiped.
This means you can try anything without worrying about breaking something — and it also means you should not expect anything you create to still be there tomorrow. The demo is for exploring, not for keeping.
// ready to run your own instance?
Cannelle is open-source. If the demo convinces you, you can self-host your own instance — your data, your server, your rules. Get started on the download page.
