Visual workflow automation with room to drop into code

Stars203K
Commit8h ago
LicenseUnknown

n8n sits between a no-code automation builder and a scripting environment. Workflows are assembled on a canvas from several hundred integrations, and any node in that canvas can be replaced with a JavaScript or Python function when the visual version stops being expressive enough.

Commit8h ago
LicenseUnknown

Dify is where a prompt experiment becomes something a team can operate. Workflows are assembled on a canvas, datasets are indexed and versioned, and every deployment gets an API endpoint with logging and cost tracking attached.

One chat interface for every model you run or connect

Stars150.5K
Commit10h ago
LicenseBSD-3-Clause

Open WebUI is the front end that turns a local inference server into something a household or a team can actually use. It handles accounts, conversation history, document retrieval, and model switching, and speaks to both local runtimes and hosted APIs.

RustDesk

RustDeskOpen

Remote desktop you can point at your own relay server

Stars122.3K
Commit11h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

RustDesk is remote desktop software where the relay server is a binary you can run yourself. That is the whole argument: the same convenience as the commercial tools, without your screen sessions transiting a vendor's infrastructure.

Immich

ImmichOpen

Self-hosted photo and video backup for your own server

Stars113.1K
Commit8h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Immich replaces a cloud photo service with software that runs on hardware you own. Mobile apps for iOS and Android back up new photos and videos in the background, so the library on your server stays current without you thinking about it.

Supabase

SupabaseOpen

Postgres-powered backend platform for production apps

Stars108.7K
Commit8h ago
LicenseApache-2.0

Supabase gives an application everything it needs on the server side without hiding the database behind a proprietary abstraction. The primitive is plain Postgres, and the platform layers authentication, generated APIs, storage, realtime subscriptions, and edge functions on top of it.

Home Assistant

Home AssistantOpen

Local-first smart home automation with no cloud dependency

Stars90.2K
Commit8h ago
LicenseApache-2.0

Home Assistant runs on a box in your house and talks to devices directly rather than through their manufacturers' servers. That single design decision is why automations keep working when the internet is down, and why a discontinued cloud service does not brick your lights.

LobeChat

LobeChatAI

Polished chat interface for many model providers

Stars82.1K
Commit8h ago
LicenseUnknown

LobeChat is the most designed of the open chat front ends. Plugins, an assistant marketplace, voice input and output, and vision support are all present, and the interface holds up next to commercial products.

Self-hosted uptime monitoring with a clean status page

Stars76.4K

LicenseMIT

Uptime Kuma monitors HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, containers, and certificates, and notifies through almost a hundred channels. Setup is a container and a few minutes.

API client that runs in the browser and stays fast

Stars74.2K
Commit1d ago
LicenseMIT

Hoppscotch is an API client that opens in a tab. Requests, collections, environments, and history are all there, and it starts in the time a desktop client takes to check for updates.

SyncthingOpen

Continuous file sync between your own devices only

Stars72.1K
Commit3d ago
LicenseMPL-2.0

Syncthing synchronises folders directly between devices with no server in the middle. There is no account, no storage quota, and no third party holding the data, because the data never leaves the set of machines you nominate.

Alternative todropbox
Grafana

GrafanaOpen

Dashboards over whatever data you already store

Stars71.2K
Commit8h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Grafana is the visualisation layer that sits above other systems rather than a monitoring stack of its own. It queries Prometheus, Loki, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and dozens of other sources, and puts them on the same dashboard.

Typo-tolerant search that is fast to run and fast to tune

Stars52.3K

Lightweight password vault server for Bitwarden clients

Stars48.1K
Commit4d ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Vaultwarden reimplements the Bitwarden server API in Rust so that it runs comfortably on a Raspberry Pi or a small VPS, while the official Bitwarden desktop, mobile, and browser clients connect to it unchanged.

Penpot

PenpotOpen

Design and prototyping built on open web standards

Stars42.2K
Commit21h ago
LicenseMPL-2.0

Penpot stores designs as SVG and uses CSS layout primitives - flex and grid - as its layout model, so what a designer builds maps onto what a developer implements rather than needing translation.

Plane

PlaneOpen

Issue tracking and planning without per-seat pricing

Stars40.1K
Commit20h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Plane covers the ground between a lightweight tracker and a full project suite: issues, cycles, modules, and roadmaps, with views that suit both engineers and the people asking them for dates.

Novu

Novu

Multi-channel notification infrastructure for applications

Stars39.7K
Commit8h ago
LicenseUnknown

Novu takes the notification logic that usually ends up scattered across a codebase - which channel, which template, which quiet hours, which digest window - and puts it behind one API and one workflow editor.

Cal.com

Cal.comOpen

Scheduling infrastructure you can host and extend

Stars38.2K
Commit9h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Cal.com covers the booking link case well, but its real distinction is that scheduling is exposed as infrastructure. Availability, event types, and bookings all have APIs, and the booking page can be embedded rather than linked.

Alternative tocalendly
Postiz

PostizOpen

Schedule and analyse posts across 30+ social networks

Stars35.3K
Commit8h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Postiz is a self-hostable scheduler for teams that publish to many networks and do not want to pay per seat for the privilege. It covers planning, drafting, approval, and publishing, with AI assistance for turning one post into per-network variants.

Outline

Outline

Team knowledge base that stays fast as it grows

Stars34.2K
Commit21h ago
LicenseBSL-1.1

Outline is a documentation workspace built around search and structure rather than infinite nesting. Collections, a strong editor, and genuinely fast full text search make it usable at the size where most wikis become write-only.

Mattermost

MattermostOpen

Team messaging for organisations that cannot use hosted chat

Stars33.2K
Commit19h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Mattermost is channel-based team chat designed for environments where the message history has to stay inside a boundary: defence, healthcare, and regulated finance are its natural constituency.

Medusa

MedusaOpen

Commerce building blocks rather than a fixed storefront

Stars32.4K
Commit2d ago
LicenseMIT

Medusa is a set of commerce modules - cart, orders, pricing, inventory, fulfilment - exposed as APIs you compose, rather than a themed storefront you customise around the edges.

A content platform that wraps your existing SQL database

Stars30.8K
Commit1d ago
LicenseBSL-1.1

Directus points at a SQL database you already have and generates an admin interface and an API over it, without imposing its own schema. Existing tables keep their names, types, and constraints.

File sync, sharing, and a suite of apps on your own server

Stars30.1K
Commit8h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Ente

EnteOpen

End-to-end encrypted photo storage across devices

Stars28.6K
Commit8h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Ente stores photos and videos encrypted on the client, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read. Sync, albums, and sharing all work on top of that constraint rather than around it.

Jitsi Meet

Jitsi MeetOpen

Video meetings with no account and no install

Stars25.6K

LicenseApache-2.0

Jitsi Meet gets to a working video call faster than anything else: open a URL, share it, done. No accounts, no downloads, no meeting identifiers to read out.

Link management and attribution for modern marketing

LicenseAGPL-3.0

Dub is a link platform rather than a shortener. Every link carries analytics, UTM handling, device and geographic targeting, and conversion attribution back to the click that produced it.

Lightweight web analytics without cookies or personal data

Stars23.5K
Commit2d ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Plausible answers the handful of questions most sites actually ask - what pages get read, where readers came from, what converted - and deliberately declines to answer the rest. There are no cookies, no cross-site identifiers, and no consent banner needed.

Secret management for applications and infrastructure

Self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager

Stars18.4K

LicenseAGPL-3.0

Listmonk is a single Go binary and a Postgres database that handles subscriber lists, segmentation, campaigns, and bounce processing at a scale that would be expensive on a hosted platform.

Alternative tomailchimp
Parlant

ParlantAIOpen

A control layer for customer-facing AI agents

Stars18.3K
Commit2mo ago
LicenseApache-2.0

Parlant addresses the problem that stops most support agents from shipping: a model that is helpful ninety-five percent of the time is not safe to put in front of customers. It manages behaviour through explicit, context-matched guidelines rather than one long prompt.

Self-hosted keyword, backlink, and rank tracking

Stars15.9K

LicenseMIT

OpenSEO covers keyword research, backlink analysis, competitor monitoring, and rank tracking in one self-hosted application, using DataForSEO as the data source so you pay for the data rather than the seat.

Hanko

Hanko

Passkeys, SSO, and MFA without vendor lock-in

Stars9,019
Commit18h ago

Hanko is an authentication service built passkey-first rather than passkey-eventually. Passwords are optional from the start, and the hosted components handle the awkward parts of the WebAuthn ceremony that teams usually get wrong.

OpenPanel

OpenPanelOpen

Web and product analytics in one cookie-free dashboard

Stars6,832
Commit3d ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

OpenPanel merges the two dashboards most teams keep open side by side: page-level web analytics and event-level product analytics. Funnels, retention curves, and session replay sit next to traffic sources rather than in a separate product.

Baserow

BaserowOpen

No-code database and application builder you can host

Stars5,757
Commit8h ago
LicenseMIT

Baserow is a spreadsheet-shaped database with the API and permission model of a real backend underneath. Non-technical colleagues get grid, gallery, kanban, and calendar views; engineers get a REST API and webhooks over the same data.

Tolgee

TolgeeOpen

Localisation platform with in-context translation editing

Stars4,085
Commit13h ago
LicenseApache-2.0

Tolgee's distinguishing feature is that translators work in the running application. Alt-click a string in the app and the editor opens over it, with surrounding context visible, which removes most of the ambiguity that produces bad translations from a spreadsheet.

Alternative tocrowdin
GlitchTip

GlitchTipOpen

Error tracking that speaks the Sentry protocol

Stars2,140
Commit5d ago
LicenseMIT

GlitchTip accepts events from the official Sentry SDKs, which means adopting it is a DSN change rather than an instrumentation project. Stack traces, breadcrumbs, releases, and issue grouping all work as expected.

Continuous compliance automation across many frameworks

Stars297
Commit17h ago
LicenseApache-2.0

Openlane automates the evidence collection and control tracking behind SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and a dozen other frameworks, mapping shared controls once rather than per framework.
