OpenBot
Open source GrokBot, built by the team behind the AG-UI protocol. OpenBot is the open-source enterprise agent platform that gives every AI coworker its own sandboxed computer — a real Chromium browser with its own login sessions, a private filesystem, and only the MCP tools you explicitly grant. The centralized gateway evaluates CEL policy rules against tool name, intent, bot identity, page URL, element attributes, and file paths before any action executes, writing an immutable audit row for every call and outcome. Any agent that speaks AG-UI — LangGraph, Mastra, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, Google ADK, or hand-written endpoints — registers as a Bot and receives its own channel with persistent conversation history. The take-the-wheel system lets humans assume control when an agent encounters login walls or two-factor prompts, recording control transfers as structured audit events. Knowledge documents from Google Drive and OneDrive carry source-based permissions where deny principals always win and ambiguous mappings refuse retrieval entirely. The React and Vite frontend provides live screen viewing of each agent's browser, channel-based chat, admin settings, and component galleries. The Hono API server on port 3001 handles authentication, role-based access, tenant packaging, and credential management backed by PostgreSQL with pgvector. Deploy via Docker Compose with the included supervisor that manages per-bot computer containers. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
LobeHub
With over 82,000 GitHub stars and 700,000+ downloads, LobeHub has evolved from its origins as LobeChat into a comprehensive multi-agent AI collaboration platform where humans and autonomous agent teams co-evolve. The platform's Agent Harness architecture functions as an operating system between AI models and applications, handling prompt presets, tool orchestration, lifecycle hooks, planning, filesystem access, and sub-agent management across 25+ model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and local models through Ollama. Agent Groups enable sophisticated collaboration with sequential, parallel, iterative, and debate orchestration modes, allowing multiple specialized agents to tackle complex workflows simultaneously. The Agent Builder creates production-ready agents from natural language descriptions with auto-configuration, drawing from a marketplace of 505+ pre-built agents and 10,000+ MCP-compatible skills and plugins. Pages provide collaborative document editing with multi-agent co-authoring, while Schedules automate agent runs around the clock without human supervision. The knowledge base leverages PostgreSQL with pgvector for RAG-powered retrieval, and Personal Memory gives agents transparent, editable context that evolves through continual learning. The full self-hosted stack deploys via Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, Redis, RustFS for S3-compatible storage, and SearXNG for private web search, all configurable through environment variables. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. LobeHub Community licensed.
Onyx
Formerly known as Danswer and now backed by over 31,000 GitHub stars with 253 releases, Onyx delivers a production-ready AI platform that turns any LLM into a context-aware enterprise assistant connected to your organization's actual knowledge. The agentic RAG pipeline combines BM-25 keyword search with prefix-aware embedding models in a hybrid index, then deploys AI agents to retrieve, verify, and synthesize answers with source citations from over 40 connected workplace tools including Google Drive, Confluence, Slack, Notion, Jira, SharePoint, GitHub, and Linear. Custom AI assistants with configurable prompts, backing knowledge sets, and document-level access control enable specialized agents for engineering, sales, support, and research workflows. The platform supports every major LLM provider — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, plus self-hosted options via Ollama, LiteLLM, and vLLM for fully air-gapped deployments. Beyond chat, Onyx provides web search with Serper, Google PSE, Brave, and SearXNG integration, an in-house web crawler, code execution, file creation, and multi-step deep research with report generation. Enterprise features include SSO via Google OAuth, OIDC, or SAML with SCIM provisioning, role-based access control, usage analytics by team and agent, query history auditing, PII removal through custom code hooks, and full whitelabeling. Deploy via Docker Compose on any infrastructure. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed (Community Edition).
Mattermost
Teams that cannot send messages through someone else's cloud run Mattermost - the open-core, self-hosted alternative to Slack. It provides public and private channels, threaded discussions, unlimited search history, file sharing with previews, one-to-one audio calls, and screen sharing, with desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux plus iOS and Android apps. Messages support full Markdown, which suits engineering conversations with code blocks and logs. Playbooks turn repeatable processes such as incident response and release management into checklist-driven workflows with automated triggers and retrospectives. Integration is a core strength: prebuilt connectors for GitHub, GitLab, Jira, ServiceNow, and PagerDuty, plus webhooks, slash commands, bots, a REST API, and a plugin marketplace with 700+ entries - together making it a working surface for ChatOps rather than just a chat room. Playbooks add keyword and event triggers, task assignment, status broadcasting, and post-incident retrospectives, so operational knowledge is not trapped in individuals' heads. The server is a single Go binary backed by PostgreSQL, with React clients, released monthly under MIT license and deployable fully air-gapped - which is why governments and defense organizations run it inside closed networks, and why the same control applies to any team with confidentiality requirements. The compiled Team Edition is free for unlimited users with no message history cutoff, so costs stay flat as the team grows.
Baserow
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.
Buzz
Buzz delivers the first production workspace where humans and AI agents operate as cryptographically equal team members on a self-hosted Nostr relay. The Rust-based backend stores every message, code patch, CI result, review comment, and workflow step as a signed Nostr event in a unified PostgreSQL-backed event log with Redis pub/sub for real-time presence and S3/MinIO for media storage. The integrated Git forge implements NIP-34, turning feature branches into dedicated channels where patches, reviews, and merge decisions live alongside the discussion that produced them — eliminating the split between chat tools and code hosts. Through the open Agent Client Protocol, Buzz natively supports Goose, Anthropic Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex as first-class channel members with scoped permissions, their own audit trails, and the ability to create patches, run workflows, and orchestrate multi-step automations via YAML-defined triggers including message events, reactions, schedules, and webhooks. The Tauri-based desktop client runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, while buzz-cli provides agent-first JSON I/O for headless automation. Deploy via Docker Compose with the production bundle in deploy/compose/, Railway one-click, or build from source requiring Rust 1.88+, Node 24+, and pnpm. Multi-community mode scopes tenant data by domain with NIP-42 Schnorr authentication, rate limiting, and hash-chain audit logging. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
QM
QM is Y Combinator's internal multiplayer agent infrastructure that shifts AI agents from personal assistants to shared company operating layer. The headless TypeScript core runs on Node.js with Fastify handling HTTP, Slack integration via Bolt, and a web UI built with Vite and Lit. PostgreSQL stores sessions, memory, queue state, and audit logs. Every person and every Slack channel gets an isolated sandbox with its own durable file system, installed tools that persist across runs, private memory, keychain view, permissions, and background crons. The harness-agnostic architecture routes agent tasks through Pi, OpenCode, Codex, or Claude Code without vendor lock-in, with production implementations swapping via a single wiring file. Three org-level security postures gate execution: Strict requires human approval for every tool call, Auto applies automated content screening, and Dangerous removes all pauses. Skills are scope-owned and shareable by grant, with admin-gated promotion to the entire organization and skill packs importable from Git repositories. The web apps feature lets agents spin up custom internal applications published to specific users. The qm CLI bootstraps operator-owned deployment directories with digest-pinned release images, infrastructure rendering, secret management, and live verification checks for Docker, Fly.io, or AWS ECS Fargate targets. On RepoCloud, deploy QM on a dedicated VPS with PostgreSQL persistence, Docker socket access, root SSH access, and complete control over your multiplayer agent infrastructure, all under the MIT license.
Teable
An Airtable-style spreadsheet interface directly on PostgreSQL: Teable is an open-source no-code database where every table is a real Postgres table. Unlike tools that store records in a metadata abstraction layer, every Teable table is a real Postgres table with standard column types, so filtering, sorting, and grouping run at database speed, million-row tables answer complex filters in roughly 200 milliseconds without index tuning, and any PostgreSQL-compatible tool - psql, BI dashboards, ETL pipelines - can query the same data directly. The interface offers Grid, Kanban, Gallery, Calendar, and Form views as non-destructive overlays with their own filters and hidden fields, plus 20+ field types, formulas, comments, attachments, batch editing, undo/redo, and edit history. Collaboration is real-time with live cursors and instant sync across views, backed by Redis, and a REST API is auto-generated per table, largely compatible with Airtable API clients - alongside native SQL access for BI tools, analytics pipelines, and your own applications to JOIN and query directly, with no exports, API rate limits, or sync jobs. Global search spans all records, chart plugins handle quick visualization, and CSV and Excel import/export cover migrations. Where Airtable caps paid plans at 100K-500K rows and charges roughly $20 per user per month, a self-hosted Teable instance has neither limit: the Postgres database itself is the export if you ever leave. Built in TypeScript with NestJS, deployed via Docker with PostgreSQL and Redis, and licensed AGPL-3.0.
Open Canvas
Open-source alternative to OpenAI's Canvas — a collaborative writing and coding environment where AI agents help you draft, edit, and refine documents through an agentic architecture built on LangGraph. The dual-mode editor combines a BlockNote rich text editor for live-rendered markdown with a CodeMirror-based code editor supporting syntax highlighting across multiple programming languages, letting you switch between prose and code artifacts within the same session. The built-in reflection agent automatically generates style rules and user insights from your chat history, storing them in a shared LangGraph memory store that persists across sessions for increasingly personalized assistance. Pre-built quick actions provide one-click access to common writing transformations including summarize, expand, simplify, and translate, while coding actions offer explain, refactor, add comments, and convert between languages. The monorepo architecture separates the Next.js 14 frontend from the LangGraph agent backend, connecting via HTTP and WebSocket protocols through the @langchain/langgraph-sdk client. Seven LLM providers are supported out of the box — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Fireworks AI, Groq, Azure OpenAI, and local Ollama models — with Supabase handling authentication and data persistence. Deploy via Docker or build from source. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
NocoDB
Any existing relational database becomes a collaborative, Airtable-style smart spreadsheet under NocoDB. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, or SQLite, introspects the schema - tables, relationships, indexes - and renders it as interactive Grid, Gallery, Kanban, Calendar, and Form views without migrating a single row. Your business data stays in your database; NocoDB keeps only its own metadata (view configs, permissions, webhooks) in a separate store. Every connected table automatically gets REST APIs with Swagger documentation, effectively turning legacy databases into modern backends. The spreadsheet layer adds 20+ field types including formulas, lookups, rollups, links, attachments, and currency, plus sorting, filtering, grouping, and multi-field editing. Views can be locked or shared publicly with password protection, role-based access control scopes permissions per user, and webhooks plus CSV, Excel, and Airtable import round out integration. An ERD view visualizes the schema. Built with Node.js and Vue, deployed via Docker, handling millions of rows.
Grist
With over 11,200 GitHub stars and adoption by France's sovereign digital workspace LaSuite serving 20,000+ government users, Grist is the relational spreadsheet that ends the false choice between fragile Excel files and expensive custom database development — storing all data in portable SQLite files while providing true relational structure where VLOOKUPs become actual linked records that update instantly across entire documents. Python-powered formulas replace complex Excel syntax with clear, readable logic using the full Python standard library, while familiar Excel functions remain available for users who prefer them. Granular access rules control permissions at row, column, table, and cell levels — not just entire sheets — enabling multi-department documents where each team sees only their authorized data. The flexible layout system combines spreadsheets, card views, charts, calendars, and custom widgets on configurable dashboard pages that transform raw data into operational interfaces. Real-time collaboration lets multiple users edit simultaneously with automatic snapshot history capturing every change for full audit trails and point-in-time recovery. AI formula assistance connects to OpenAI, Llama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint via OpenRouter to generate formulas from natural language descriptions. The REST API and webhooks enable integration with n8n, Zapier, and custom automation, while incremental imports keep external data sources synchronized. Deployable via Docker with OIDC, SAML, and SCIM authentication support. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
Nextcloud
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, replaced by a platform you actually control: Nextcloud is the self-hosted digital workspace. Files is the core: file storage and sync across desktop, mobile, and web clients, with sharing, versioning, and collaboration built in. Around it, Talk provides private text chat, audio/video conferencing with screen sharing, SIP integration, and persistent voice rooms; Groupware bundles calendar, contacts, and mail with delegation support; and Office offers two collaborative suites - the Collabora-based option with deep ODF support, and Euro-Office, whose local-processing architecture delivers strong Microsoft Office compatibility and fast browser rendering with reduced server load. The Nextcloud Assistant threads AI through the platform via a context-aware sidebar, Whiteboard covers visual collaboration, Flow handles automation, and an app ecosystem of hundreds of extensions adds everything from Kanban boards to end-to-end encryption. Hub 26 brings a lighter UI with a unified app switcher and Nextcloud Governance for organizations under strict regulatory requirements. This is the flagship of data sovereignty: your files, chats, calendars, and documents live on your server, under your jurisdiction, with GDPR compliance by architecture rather than by contract.
Neko
With over 21,000 GitHub stars and six years of steady development through version 3.1.0, Neko transforms any Docker container into a fully interactive browser or desktop environment streamed to web browsers via WebRTC with sub-300-millisecond glass-to-glass latency. The Go backend captures X server display frames using the Pion WebRTC library while the Vue.js frontend renders the remote session with native audio synchronization, delivering a significantly smoother experience than Apache Guacamole or noVNC which rely on image-over-WebSocket approaches. Multiple users simultaneously view and collaboratively control the same session with real-time input synchronization and host-managed control passing between participants. Pre-built Docker images cover Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome, Tor Browser, Brave, Vivaldi, and Microsoft Edge alongside full desktop environments including XFCE and KDE for running any Linux application. Neko Rooms provides multi-tenant deployment with a REST API for programmatic room provisioning, while Neko Apps extends the platform with additional containerized applications beyond browsers. Sessions persist on the server independently of client connections — close your laptop, reconnect from your phone, and resume exactly where you left off. Optional VPN and Tor integration routes traffic through encrypted tunnels for privacy-sensitive browsing. RTMP broadcasting streams sessions to external platforms. The embeddable client supports iframe integration for custom portals and applications. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
TREK
TREK coordinates group expeditions and vacations through a collaborative travel planning workspace that unifies daily itineraries, interactive route maps, shared expense budgets, and packing lists. Travel groups can build day-by-day timelines by dragging activities between dates, attaching transit bookings with flight numbers, and estimating driving intervals directly on OpenStreetMap and Mapbox canvases. Instant WebSocket synchronization mirrors itinerary edits, group chat messages, and decision poll votes across all traveling companions simultaneously without page refreshes. The integrated multi-currency expense manager tracks shared expenditures across lodging, dining, and transit categories, automatically calculating per-person debts and generating simplified debt settlement summaries. An interactive world atlas highlights visited nations and tracks lifetime travel statistics, enabling globe-trotters to manage personal bucket lists and review past journeys. Travelers can organize shared packing checklists from reusable equipment templates, monitor real-time weather forecasts powered by Open-Meteo, and export comprehensive travel schedules to printable PDF guides and calendar feeds. Role-based permission controls safeguard sensitive travel documents and boarding pass uploads while allowing guests to contribute notes and vote on activities. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Focalboard
From the Mattermost team comes Focalboard, an open-source, MIT-licensed project board tool - a self-hosted alternative to Trello, Asana, and Notion databases, written in Go with a React frontend. Every board renders the same card data four ways: Kanban with drag-and-drop columns, a spreadsheet-style table, an image-forward gallery, and a calendar. Cards carry unlimited custom properties - dates, dropdowns, checkboxes, people, URLs - and boards can be grouped, filtered, and sorted by any property combination, with unlimited saved filtered views for quick access. Built-in templates cover the common workflows (meeting agendas, content calendars, project tasks, roadmaps, sprint planning), or you can build fully custom boards from scratch. Collaboration is real: card comments with @mentions, per-board permissions for teams or individuals, file attachments stored on your own infrastructure, and archiving with backup snapshots. Migration tooling imports existing boards from Trello (JSON export), Asana, and Notion, so switching does not mean starting over. It ships in 20+ languages and runs as a lightweight multi-user personal server. Worth knowing before deploying: Mattermost has shifted primary development to the integrated Mattermost Boards plugin, so the standalone edition is community-maintained - stable and functional, but evolving slowly. For teams wanting a free, private Trello without per-user fees, it remains a solid pick.
Vikunja
A personal to-do list that scales to team project management: Vikunja is an open-source task manager that grows with the work. Every project can be viewed four ways - classic list, drag-and-drop Kanban board, Gantt chart for timeline planning, and a spreadsheet-style table - so a project manager watches the Gantt while developers work the board, on the same data. Tasks carry the full attribute set: labels, priorities, due dates and reminders, recurring schedules, subtasks and task relations, file attachments, assignees, and comments, and Quick Add Magic parses natural-language input like dates and labels typed inline. Projects share with team members or via links, and saved filters slice tasks across projects. Built-in CalDAV support (VTODO) syncs tasks bidirectionally with clients like Thunderbird, DAVx5, and iOS Reminders, and one-click importers migrate from Todoist, Trello, and Microsoft To-Do. Nothing is metered - unlimited projects, tasks, filters, and attachments. A single Go binary with a Vue frontend runs against SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL, exposes a full REST API, and works as an installable PWA on mobile. AGPLv3-licensed.
Bulwark Webmail
Transforming your Stalwart Mail Server into an all-in-one private communication hub, Bulwark Webmail delivers fast web-based email, collaborative calendars, shared contacts, and cloud files in a single unified interface. Users can manage multiple email accounts from an integrated inbox with conversational message threading, nested organizational tags, scheduled delivery, and instant full-text search across thousands of archived messages. The rich text composer provides markdown shortcuts, inline image embedding, reusable canned response templates, and automated draft synchronization. Team members can coordinate schedules across day, week, month, and agenda calendar views with drag-to-reschedule adjustments, interactive iMIP meeting invitations, and external CalDAV calendar subscriptions. The integrated address book organizes individual contacts into custom groups with full vCard import and export support, while the files module lets users browse server storage, preview incoming attachments, and upload documents directly through the browser. Built-in security safeguards enforce multi-factor authentication, cryptographic S/MIME signatures, client-side encryption at rest, and automated HTML luminance remapping to keep dark emails legible. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL v3 licensed.
Excalidraw
Half the architecture sketches on the internet trace back to Excalidraw - the MIT-licensed virtual whiteboard whose hand-drawn aesthetic made technical diagramming feel approachable, at roughly 85,000 GitHub stars. The infinite canvas offers rectangles, ellipses, diamonds, arrows with smart binding and labels, free-draw, text, images, and an eraser, with full undo/redo, zoom, dark mode, and keyboard-first ergonomics. Community shape libraries add thousands of pre-built elements - AWS architecture icons, flowchart stencils, UI wireframe kits - and everything exports to PNG, SVG, the clipboard, or the open .excalidraw JSON format that keeps drawings diffable and portable. Live collaboration works on a share-a-link model with live cursors and a laser pointer for presenting, and it is end-to-end encrypted by design: the room key travels in the URL hash, which never reaches the server, so the WebSocket relay only ever sees ciphertext. The architecture is remarkably light - the app is a static bundle served by Nginx, drawings persist locally in the browser, and the stateless excalidraw-room relay handles multiplayer - so a self-hosted deployment gives unlimited boards and collaborators with near-zero resource cost, replacing per-editor whiteboard subscriptions.
