AI-powered Python web app builder for internal tools
Build admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools faster using AI-generated Python code. Combines drag-and-drop convenience with full code flexibility in a local-first, self-hosted environment.

Dropbase is an AI-powered web app builder designed for developers who need the speed of low-code platforms without sacrificing flexibility. Built on Python, it helps teams rapidly prototype and deploy admin panels, back-office tools, billing dashboards, and internal engineering applications.
Unlike traditional low-code platforms that lock you into UI forms and proprietary abstractions, Dropbase generates editable Python code you can verify, customize, and version control. The built-in web framework provides pre-built UI components—eliminating frontend complexity—while letting you write any custom business logic, import PyPI packages, and integrate with existing codebases.
Dropbase runs entirely on your infrastructure via Docker. Credentials never leave your environment, and apps live alongside your code, making it simple to import custom scripts or reuse existing libraries. Apps are portable: zip and share folders with teammates running their own Dropbase instances. Connect to databases (PostgreSQL, SQLite), trigger actions via APIs (Mailgun, Slack, Stripe), and edit third-party data (Salesforce, HubSpot) through spreadsheet-like interfaces—all configured through local TOML files.
When teams consider Dropbase, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Customer Order Management Dashboard
Lookup customer orders, send notifications via Mailgun email and Slack channels, all from a unified interface without building frontend code
Salesforce Lead Editor
Edit CRM leads through a spreadsheet-like interface, syncing changes directly to Salesforce without custom API integration work
Billing Analytics Dashboard
Visualize payment data with built-in charts, connect to Stripe API, and trigger billing actions using custom Python logic
Internal Engineering Tool
Build custom admin panels that query production databases and execute operational scripts, reusing existing Python utilities from your codebase
No. Dropbase is local-first and self-hosted via Docker. All credentials, API keys, and database connections are configured in local TOML files and never leave your infrastructure.
Dropbase supports OpenAI (GPT-4o) and Anthropic (Claude Sonnet) models. You configure your own API keys in the server.toml file to enable AI code generation features.
Yes. All generated code is editable Python that lives in your codebase. You can verify, modify, and version control it like any other source code.
Dropbase supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, and any database accessible via Python drivers. You can integrate with any API or service using Python libraries from PyPI, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Mailgun, and Slack.
Apps are portable folder structures. Zip an app folder and share it with teammates running their own Dropbase instances. Apps integrate with your codebase, making collaboration straightforward.
