Open-Source Business Tools & Integrations
Tools we run, and tools we have tested.
We are not a software marketplace and we do not resell licences. This page is the shortlist of software we actually work with: the tools we built ourselves, the open-source tools we deploy and maintain for clients, and the ones we have run long enough to write about honestly.
Everything here we have installed, tested or built ourselves. Nothing is listed because a vendor sent us a deck.
Built by us
Our own tools
We built these because we kept solving the same problem by hand. They run on your infrastructure, not ours.

Read our writeup →Looking for Google Workspace administration rather than a tool — delegation, Send As aliases, forwarding, filters, signatures, vacation responders, or automations built with Apps Script and Workspace Studio? That is consulting work, not a product.
