Config-driven web framework for building business apps fast
Build internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, and CRUD apps using YAML or JSON config. Extends with npm plugins, runs on Next.js, deploys anywhere.

Lowdefy is a config-driven web framework that lets developers build business applications—internal tools, admin panels, BI dashboards, client portals, and CRUD apps—using declarative YAML or JSON instead of writing boilerplate UI code. Built on Next.js and Auth.js, it bridges the gap between no-code simplicity and full developer control.
Lowdefy targets developers and technical teams who need to ship internal applications quickly without sacrificing flexibility. With over 70 UI blocks, 150 logic operators, and a plugin system powered by npm, you can prototype rapidly while extending functionality with custom React components, database connections, and API integrations when requirements demand it.
Because Lowdefy compiles to a standard Next.js application, you can deploy to Vercel, Docker, or any Next.js-compatible host. Authentication leverages Auth.js for SSO, SAML, 2FA, and popular providers like Google, Okta, and Auth0. Role-based access control (RBAC) enables granular permissions across public and authenticated pages. The structured config format integrates naturally with Git workflows, making collaboration, code review, and handoffs straightforward for teams of any size.
When teams consider Lowdefy, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
