Open Source Business & Operations Software
Business & Operations software provides tools for managing company workflows, customer relationships, and internal communications. These tools centralize project roadmaps, financial records, and collaborative documents to replace disconnected manual processes. This type of software serves business owners and team leads who need to manage sensitive client data and corporate assets on their own hardware. By hosting these apps locally, you avoid monthly costs and keep internal project histories and financial dashboards private from external service providers.
This page lists 338 open source tools in the Business & Operations category. The most popular are Excalidraw, Stirling PDF and AppFlowy. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or MIT license, and 290 offer an official Docker image.
