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.

Cursor

CursorAI

An editor rebuilt around model assisted editing

CompanyAnysphere
Since2023
PricingFreemium

Cursor forked VS Code rather than extending it, which let it change the editing model itself. Multi-file edits, codebase-wide context, and a tab completion that predicts the next edit rather than the next token are the result.

Claude

ClaudeAI

Anthropic's assistant, strongest on long documents and code

CompanyAnthropic
Since2023
PricingFreemium

Claude is positioned around careful reasoning over long inputs. The large context window makes whole-repository and long-document work practical in a way that shorter context assistants cannot match.

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.

Directus

Directus

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.

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.

Alternative togoogle photos
Nextcloud

NextcloudOpen

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

Stars30.1K
Commit8h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Nextcloud started as file sync and grew into a full collaboration suite: documents, calendar, contacts, chat, and an application ecosystem on top of the same account system.

Dub

DubOpen

Link management and attribution for modern marketing

Stars24.6K
Commit8h ago
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.

Jitsi Meet

Jitsi MeetOpen

Video meetings with no account and no install

Stars25.6K
Commit2d ago
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.

Alternative tozoom
Chatwoot

ChatwootOpen

Customer conversations from every channel in one inbox

Stars24.7K
Commit1d ago
LicenseMIT

Chatwoot collects website chat, email, WhatsApp, Instagram, and SMS into a single agent inbox with shared assignment, canned replies, and a help centre.

Cap

CapOpen

Screen recorder with editing and instant shareable links

Stars21.4K
Commit16h ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Cap records screen and camera, then gives you an editor with backgrounds, automatic zooms, and cursor smoothing before you share a link. It is built in Rust on Tauri, so the binary is small and recording does not tax the machine it is recording.

Alternative toloomscreen studio
Plausible Analytics

Plausible AnalyticsOpen

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.

Alternative togoogle analytics
Focalboard

FocalboardOpen

Project boards that work offline and stay local

Stars24.3K
Commit2mo ago
LicenseMIT

Focalboard is a board and table tool that runs as a desktop application against local files, or as a server for a team. It covers the kanban, table, and calendar views most planning needs without a subscription or an account.

OpenSEO

OpenSEOOpen

Self-hosted keyword, backlink, and rank tracking

Stars15.9K
Commit8d ago
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.

Alternative togoogle analytics
Infisical

InfisicalOpen

Secret management for applications and infrastructure

Stars21.8K
Commit8h ago
LicenseMIT

Infisical stores application secrets, syncs them into the platforms that need them, and rotates the ones that support rotation. Environments and folders keep development and production credentials properly separated.

Listmonk

ListmonkOpen

Self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager

Stars18.4K
Commit3d ago
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.

Alternative tointercom
Docmost

DocmostOpen

Collaborative wiki with real-time editing and diagrams

Stars15.4K
Commit2d ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Docmost is a documentation workspace with real-time collaborative editing, nested spaces, and diagram support built in rather than embedded from elsewhere.

LicenseAGPL-3.0

Documenso handles electronic signature collection with the signing certificate, audit trail, and field placement you expect, while keeping the documents on infrastructure you control.

FormbricksOpen

Surveys and in-product research on your own infrastructure

Stars11.3K
Commit1d ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Twenty

TwentyOpen

A modern CRM that does not fight the way you work

Stars9,167
Commit2d ago
LicenseMIT

Twenty rebuilds CRM around the interaction patterns people already know from modern productivity tools: keyboard navigation, inline editing, flexible record views, and a data model you can extend without a consultant.

Hanko

Hanko

Passkeys, SSO, and MFA without vendor lock-in

Stars9,019
Commit18h ago
LicenseUnknown

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.

Alternative toauth0
Typebot

TypebotOpen

Conversational forms built on a visual flow canvas

Stars9,240
Commit2d ago
LicenseAGPL-3.0

Typebot builds forms that behave like a conversation: one question at a time, branching on answers, with the flow assembled visually rather than written in code.
