Open Source Productivity Software
Productivity software organizes daily workflows and automates repetitive tasks through tools like virtual whiteboards, file synchronization, and remote desktop access. These tools help you manage markdown notes, sketch diagrams, and coordinate smart device automations in one place. This type of software serves individuals and teams who need to keep their project files and automation scripts on their own hardware. Self-hosting these apps ensures that sensitive documents and internal communication remain on local servers rather than on external cloud platforms.
This page lists 357 open source tools in the Productivity category. The most popular are n8n, PowerToys and Excalidraw. Most use the MIT or AGPL-3.0 license, and 251 offer an official Docker image.
