Open Source App Cloud Marketplace

Webhooks, cron schedules, and app events trigger chains of nodes that fetch, transform, and route data: n8n is a workflow automation platform built around a visual, node-based editor. It ships with 400+ built-in integrations covering databases like Postgres, SaaS tools like Slack and HubSpot, and every major AI provider. When a pre-built node does not exist, the HTTP Request node calls any REST API, and the Code node runs JavaScript or Python inline, so you are never blocked by a missing connector. Workflows execute as directed graphs with branching, loops, error handling, and sub-workflows, and every run is logged for inspection and replay during debugging. It also includes LangChain-based nodes for building AI agents with tool calling and memory. Self-hosting on RepoCloud gives you unlimited workflow executions with no per-task pricing, and all data stays on your instance. Runs on Node.js with SQLite by default; add Postgres and Redis queue mode when you need to scale workers horizontally.

Drag nodes onto a canvas and ship an LLM app: Flowise is an open-source visual builder for AI agents and LLM applications, written in Node.js on LangChain.js and licensed Apache-2.0. You assemble flows by dragging nodes onto a canvas: models, prompts, memory, vector stores, retrievers, and tools, then wire them together and test in the built-in chat panel. Three builder types cover increasing complexity: Assistant for simple RAG chat over uploaded files, Chatflow for single-agent systems with techniques like rerankers and Graph RAG, and Agentflow for multi-agent orchestration with branching, looping, shared flow state, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Over 100 integrations connect data sources, vector databases, and both proprietary and open-source models, plus MCP client and server nodes for standard tool interop. Finished flows are exposed as REST APIs, embedded chat widgets, or via JS and Python SDKs - each flow gets an endpoint the moment it is saved, removing the deployment gap between a working prototype and something your application can call. Execution logs, visual step debugging, and external log streaming trace behavior, while input moderation and rate limiting act as guardrails; RBAC, SSO, and workspaces cover team deployments. Self-hosting keeps prompts, encrypted credentials, and conversation data on your own instance, which matters when flows handle internal documents or customer data - and wiring a model, prompt, memory, and vector store on the canvas replaces the boilerplate a hand-coded LangChain project would need.

Perplexity's search experience without Perplexity: Vane deploys Perplexica, an open-source AI answer engine built as the self-hosted alternative. Instead of returning a page of links, it reads your question, searches the live web through the SearxNG metasearch engine, and composes a direct answer with cited sources. Retrieval quality comes from embeddings and similarity search: fetched pages are re-ranked against the query so the model answers from the most relevant passages rather than whatever ranked first. Two query modes cover different needs - Normal mode runs a straightforward web search, while Copilot mode generates multiple reformulated queries and actively pulls content from top matches for harder questions. Focus modes specialize retrieval for academic papers, YouTube, Reddit discussions, Wolfram Alpha calculations, or the general web. The answering model is your choice: OpenAI-compatible APIs or fully local LLMs such as Llama 3 and Mixtral through Ollama, which keeps queries entirely on your infrastructure. Because SearxNG pulls live results, answers reflect current information, and no search history is tracked.

In-app, website, link, and email surveys feed one open-source experience management platform: Formbricks. Its distinguishing strength is targeted in-app research: a JavaScript SDK triggers surveys on user events and attributes, with segmentation rules like "power users who have not seen a survey in 10 days," so questions reach the right cohort at the right moment instead of a mass email blast. The no-code editor offers 20+ question types including NPS, CSAT, CES, matrix, ranking, and file upload, with skip logic, conditional branching, best-practice templates, and full brand theming. Responses feed built-in analytics with summaries and CSV/JSON export, and integrations push data to Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, Zapier, and n8n, with webhooks and an open API on every tier. Because self-hosted surveys load from your own domain rather than a blacklisted third-party script host, ad blockers do not suppress them - in-app surveys reach users that Hotjar-style tools silently miss, which measurably raises response rates. Self-hosting also removes the third-party sub-processor from your privacy policy entirely: survey responses often contain PII, and keeping them on your own server matters for GDPR-sensitive and regulated industries. The Community Edition has no response caps or tier-gated features, so core functionality and your data stay accessible regardless of any subscription. Next.js on PostgreSQL, AGPLv3.

CRMs, project trackers, inventory tools - NocoBase is an open-source no-code/low-code platform for building business systems like these. Its architecture is data-model driven: you define collections and relationships first, then compose any number of interface blocks (tables, forms, kanban, charts) on top of the same model, so data structure is never coupled to a particular view. The core is a microkernel where every feature is a plugin, WordPress-style; you enable official plugins, install marketplace ones, or write your own as npm packages with server and client parts. Data sources include the main PostgreSQL or MySQL database, external databases, and third-party APIs - so you can build admin panels over existing production data instead of migrating it. Built-in infrastructure covers role-based permissions down to collection, record, and field level, workflow automation with approval steps and scheduled triggers, and audit logs; a one-click switch flips between usage and configuration modes. Because custom features live in isolated plugins with a documented lifecycle, core upgrades do not overwrite your customizations, and swapping UIs never requires data migrations since interfaces sit on independent models. Written in TypeScript on Node.js, Koa, and React under the AGPL license, it is light enough for one person to run and extend - and where no-code SaaS platforms charge per seat and per app, a self-hosted instance runs unlimited applications for unlimited users at hosting cost alone.

Trello's board model on your own server: Planka is an open-source Kanban project management tool. Boards organize into projects with lists, cards, labels, due dates, checklists, file attachments, and per-card stopwatch time tracking, all managed through drag-and-drop. Updates propagate over WebSockets, so a teammate moving a card or adding a comment appears instantly for everyone without a refresh - a genuine differentiator among self-hosted boards. Card descriptions use a full Markdown editor, custom fields adapt cards to your workflow, and views switch between Kanban, grid, and list layouts. Authentication supports OpenID Connect single sign-on with Google, Azure AD, Okta, or any OIDC provider - a feature Trello reserves for enterprise plans - and notifications reach 100+ channels including Slack, Discord, Telegram, and SMTP via Apprise. A REST API with 50+ webhook events supports custom integrations, and one-click board import eases migration. Built with React and Node.js on PostgreSQL, translated into 35+ languages, deployed via Docker.

Every major model provider behind one ChatGPT-style interface: LibreChat spans OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including local Ollama. You can switch models mid-conversation and compare providers without changing tools. Its Agents framework builds no-code custom assistants with tool access via Model Context Protocol servers, file search over uploaded documents through an optional pgvector-backed RAG service, and a sandboxed Code Interpreter that executes Python, JavaScript, Go, C++, Java, PHP, and Rust. Artifacts render React components, HTML, and Mermaid diagrams directly in chat, and image generation works through DALL-E and other configured providers. Multi-user support is enterprise-grade, with OAuth, SAML, LDAP, and two-factor authentication, per-user conversation history in MongoDB, and Meilisearch-powered search across all messages and files, plus reusable presets, forkable threads, and persistent memory across conversations. The economics favor teams: instead of a ChatGPT Plus seat per person, everyone shares one instance billed per API token, with access to every provider rather than one - and providers see individual API calls, not your accumulated organizational knowledge. Deployment is Docker Compose; API keys and endpoints are configured through .env and librechat.yaml.

Perplexity's answer-engine experience, self-hostable and open-source: Morphic searches the web and writes cited answers. Instead of returning a list of links, it searches the web, reads the sources, and generates a complete answer with inline numbered citations. The generative UI streams rich components, source cards with thumbnails, image grids, syntax-highlighted code, and LaTeX math, rather than plain markdown. Quick mode answers fast; Adaptive mode runs deeper multi-step research. Search backends are pluggable: the Docker Compose bundle ships with a private SearXNG instance so no search API key is required, and Tavily, Brave, and Exa are supported alternatives. LLM providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with per-mode model mapping - fast, cheap models for quick searches, stronger models for adaptive research, tuning the cost-quality trade-off per query type. An inspector panel exposes tool execution during multi-step research, and AI-suggested follow-up questions keep an investigation moving. Chat history persists in PostgreSQL, results are shareable by URL, file uploads feed context into queries, and optional Supabase authentication adds multi-user or guest access. Because the default search path is your private SearXNG instance, research topics never hit a commercial search API - and with local Ollama models the marginal cost of a query approaches zero. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and the Vercel AI SDK under Apache 2.0.

Your own Heroku or Vercel on a single server - Dokploy is the open-source, self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service that makes the swap. You point it at a Git repository or a Docker image, and it builds and deploys the application using Dockerfiles, Nixpacks, or Heroku/Paketo buildpacks. Traefik is integrated as the reverse proxy, handling routing, load balancing, automatic Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, and HTTP/3. It also provisions and manages databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, Redis) with automated backups to external storage. Complex multi-service applications deploy through native Docker Compose support, and multi-node scaling uses Docker Swarm. The web UI covers environment variables, volumes, resource limits, real-time CPU/memory/network monitoring, and deployment logs, with a CLI and API for automation. Deployment notifications go to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or email. One-click templates install common open-source tools, and a single Dokploy control plane can manage deployments across multiple remote servers. Because everything is standard Docker under the hood, there is no lock-in: your Dockerfiles, Compose files, and data volumes work anywhere else Docker runs. You get the Heroku-style push-to-deploy workflow without operating a Kubernetes cluster, and the total cost is the server it runs on - no per-app, per-environment, or per-seat platform fees regardless of how many applications you deploy.

A self-hosted "second brain": Khoj indexes your own files and answers questions from them, parsing Markdown (whole Obsidian vaults included), org-mode, PDF, Word, plain text, Notion pages, GitHub repositories, and images described by a vision model, then embedding everything with sentence-transformers into a vector index for semantic search and RAG with cited sources. Any LLM backend works: local models like Llama, Qwen, or Mistral via Ollama, or cloud models like GPT, Claude, and Gemini. You can build custom agents, each with its own persona, scoped knowledge base, chat model, and tools such as web search and code execution. Scheduled automations run recurring research and deliver newsletters or notifications to your inbox, and research mode performs multi-hop web searches with inline citations. Access it from a browser, the Obsidian plugin, Emacs, desktop, or WhatsApp - all clients connect to the same self-hosted instance, making Khoj one of the few AI assistants Emacs users can point at decades of org files. Semantic search means recall works without exact keywords: "that paper about forecasting with transformers" surfaces the right PDF even when you cannot remember its title. Switching LLM backends never requires re-indexing your documents, and with a local model via Ollama, even inference stays on hardware you control - journals, research, and private notes are never sent anywhere. Python/FastAPI stack, AGPL-licensed, with PostgreSQL storage.

Automatisch runs your Zapier workflows on your own hardware - an open-source, self-hosted automation platform built as a direct alternative. Flows are chains of steps: one trigger (a polling or webhook event such as a new GitHub issue, a Stripe payment, or a form submission) followed by action steps that pass data downstream (post to Slack, append a Google Sheets row, update Notion). The visual builder deliberately mirrors Zapier's trigger-action model, so migrating existing Zaps requires no retraining and no programming knowledge. Roughly 60 integrations cover common business services - Slack, GitHub, Google Sheets, Notion, Stripe, Discord - and connections store credentials per service, with multiple accounts per app supported. Every execution runs on your own server: execution history, logs, and payload data never touch a third-party processor, which matters for GDPR, healthcare, and finance workloads. Error handling with retry logic, a REST API for programmatic flow management, and Docker Compose deployment round out the platform. The AGPL-3.0 Community Edition has no feature limits or per-task billing; an Enterprise Edition adds SSO, roles, and audit logs.

The de facto dashboard of observability: Grafana is the open-source frontend that turns the data stores you already run into interactive graphs. It does not store metrics itself; it connects to the data stores you already run and turns their contents into interactive dashboards. Supported sources number over 150 via plugins: Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, InfluxDB, Elasticsearch, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Monitoring, and many more. Dashboards are built from a large library of panel types (time series, heatmaps, tables, gauges, logs) with template variables for reusable, parameterized views. Unified alerting evaluates rules against any connected data source, not just Prometheus, and routes notifications to Slack, PagerDuty, email, and other channels with grouping and silencing - unlike Prometheus Alertmanager, a single rule can combine a Loki log pattern, a PostgreSQL query result, and a CloudWatch metric. Dashboards serialize to JSON and data sources configure via provisioning files, so the entire observability setup can live in Git and deploy repeatably across environments. Explore mode adds ad-hoc querying outside dashboards, with split view for correlating a metric spike against the matching log lines, and access control spans organizations, teams, folder permissions, and OAuth, LDAP, and SAML integration. Written in Go and TypeScript, AGPL-licensed. Self-hosting gives you unlimited users, dashboards, and queries at flat hosting cost, without Grafana Cloud's usage-based pricing.

Zapier's job, on your own server: Activepieces is an open-source workflow automation platform built to be exactly that replacement. Flows are built in a visual no-code editor with triggers, actions, loops, conditional branches, auto-retries, raw HTTP steps, and code steps that run JavaScript or TypeScript with full npm package support. Integrations are "pieces" - type-safe TypeScript npm packages with hot reloading for local development - and the catalog spans 600+ services, with the large majority contributed by the community. The platform is AI-first in two directions: native AI pieces call OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Azure models inside flows, and every piece automatically doubles as an MCP server, so assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor can invoke your integrations and workflows through natural language. A built-in MCP server also exposes 30 tools for building flows, managing tables, and running tests agentically. Flows are fully versioned with draft and locked states. The core is MIT-licensed and runs on TypeScript with PostgreSQL and Redis.

A question goes in; a cited, long-form report comes out - GPT Researcher is an open-source autonomous research agent. A planner agent decomposes the query into sub-questions, execution agents crawl 20+ web sources in parallel with JavaScript-enabled scraping, and a publisher aggregates findings into a 2,000+ word report with inline citations, exportable to PDF, Word, and Markdown. The Deep Research mode extends this recursively: each result yields follow-up questions that are explored to configurable breadth and depth in a tree pattern, while accumulated learnings, citations, and visited URLs are shared across branches. It also researches local documents (PDF, CSV, Word) alongside the web. LLM and search providers are pluggable, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and Ollama for models, and Tavily, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and SearXNG for retrieval. It ships as a Python package, a FastAPI server with web frontend, a Docker image, and an MCP server for use inside Claude or Cursor. MIT-licensed.

Airtable's spreadsheet-database model, self-hostable and open-source: that is Baserow. It presents data in a spreadsheet-style grid, but underneath each table is a real relational structure with typed fields, links between tables, filters, sorts, and multiple views (grid, gallery, form, kanban, calendar). Beyond the database core, it includes an application builder for composing pages and portals on your data, workflow automations, and dashboards. Everything is API-first: each table exposes a REST endpoint with token auth and webhooks, so it plugs directly into n8n, Zapier, or custom scripts. The stack is Django (Python) on the backend, Vue.js on the frontend, PostgreSQL for storage, with Redis for async tasks. Core features are MIT-licensed; premium features are a paid add-on. The self-hosted version has no row, storage, or API request limits - Airtable's per-base record caps and monthly API quotas simply don't exist here, and capacity is bounded only by your PostgreSQL database and disk. Existing Airtable bases, CSVs, and Excel files import directly with structure preserved, so migration doesn't start from a blank slate, and both the backend and frontend support plugins for custom field types and integrations without forking the core. For non-technical teammates the interface behaves like a spreadsheet; for engineers, the data model is the API.

Agents with tool use, deep research, a document editor, an IMAP/SMTP email client with AI triage, notes, tasks, and a CalDAV-synced calendar - Odysseus bundles all of it into one open-source, self-hosted AI workspace. It runs local models through Ollama, vLLM, or llama.cpp and cloud APIs like OpenAI and OpenRouter, with a hardware-aware Cookbook that scans your machine and recommends quantized models that fit. Persistent memory uses ChromaDB with hybrid vector-plus-keyword retrieval, web search runs through a bundled SearXNG instance, and agents can use MCP servers, files, and shell access with safety controls, plus custom skills and scheduled agent tasks. A blind Compare mode runs side-by-side model duels with identities hidden and accumulates Elo-style ratings from your votes, so model selection is based on your actual workloads rather than leaderboard claims. Deep research mode - adapted from the Tongyi DeepResearch approach - reads sources through SearXNG and produces cited reports, while the email client tags, summarizes, sets reminders, and drafts replies locally rather than through a third-party mail AI. The writing-first document editor adds AI edits, Markdown and HTML support, and version history. The stack is Python 3.11 with FastAPI, SQLite for state, and a vanilla JS frontend, licensed AGPL-3.0 with zero telemetry. Because agents can read email and execute commands, keep authentication enabled and never expose it as a public unauthenticated service.

Scheduling infrastructure, not just a booking page - Cal.com is the leading open-source scheduling platform. Share a link, attendees pick a slot, and real-time sync against Google Calendar, Outlook, and CalDAV prevents double-booking. Beyond the basics it covers team workflows: round-robin distribution, collective availability across multiple hosts, recurring meetings, and routing forms that ask bookers questions and send them to the right team member - the feature sales and support teams usually pay enterprise prices for. Paid bookings run through Stripe, video calls through the built-in Cal Video (Daily.co) or Zoom and Google Meet, and an app store connects 100+ tools including HubSpot, Zapier, and n8n. The API-first architecture with webhooks and embeds makes it practical to build scheduling into your own product, white-labeled with your domain and branding. Built on Next.js and Prisma over PostgreSQL, translated into 65+ languages, with the self-hostable community codebase maintained under an open-source license.

A private ChatGPT built with Next.js: Lobe Chat is the open-source AI chat interface teams self-host instead. Its main advantage is provider breadth: one interface connects to 40+ model providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, Groq, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and local models served through Ollama, so you can switch models per conversation and compare outputs. It handles multi-modal work: image recognition, image generation, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text. A plugin system based on function calling and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) adds external tools like web search and code execution. Run it in standalone mode as a single container with settings in browser storage, or in database mode with PostgreSQL and S3-compatible storage for persistent history, multi-user auth, and RAG knowledge bases built from uploaded documents with pgvector retrieval. Because tools arrive through function calling and MCP rather than a proprietary plugin format, custom internal tools can be exposed to the assistant with a standard server over STDIO or HTTP. Hundreds of pre-configured assistant roles import from the community marketplace. For teams the cost model matters: provider API keys billed per token typically undercut a ChatGPT Plus seat per person, and self-hosting keeps API keys, uploaded files, embeddings, and conversation history entirely on your own server.
