Cloud collaboration platform combining the flexibility of a spreadsheet with database power
Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Build powerful online databases with a spreadsheet‑style no‑code UI
NocoDB lets teams create, share, and automate databases through an intuitive spreadsheet interface, supporting multiple views, fine‑grained access control, and extensible integrations, all self‑hosted.

NocoDB provides a spreadsheet‑style interface that turns any relational database into a collaborative, no‑code workspace. It targets startups, SMBs, and internal teams that need quick data management without writing SQL, while still offering the power of a full database backend.
Users can create tables, define columns, and switch between Grid, Gallery, Form, Kanban, and Calendar views. Fine‑grained role‑based permissions let administrators lock or share specific bases and views. The built‑in App Store adds workflow automations for chat (Slack, Discord), email (AWS SES, SMTP) and storage (AWS S3, Minio). For developers, a REST API and an SDK expose all actions programmatically.
NocoDB runs in Docker with SQLite or PostgreSQL, and an auto‑upstall script can provision a full stack (PostgreSQL, Redis, Minio, Traefik) with SSL on a single command. Binaries are also available for macOS, Linux and Windows for local testing. Documentation and community channels guide installation and scaling.
When teams consider NocoDB, 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.
Project Management Dashboard
Teams track tasks, assign owners, and visualize progress via Kanban and Calendar views, enabling real‑time collaboration.
Customer Feedback Collection
A Form view gathers user responses, storing them in a structured database for easy analysis without writing code.
Automated Invoice Processing
REST API creates invoice records from an external billing system and triggers email notifications through the App Store integration.
Internal Knowledge Base
A shared Grid view with rich text and attachments provides a secure, searchable documentation hub protected by password.
You can run it via Docker, use the auto‑upstall script for a full stack, or download binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
NocoDB works with SQLite for quick setups and PostgreSQL for production workloads.
Yes, NocoDB is released under the AGPL‑3.0 license and can be self‑hosted at no cost.
Use the auto‑upstall script to enable SSL, configure role‑based permissions, and protect shared bases with passwords.
Yes, you can develop custom apps or use the REST API and SDK to build integrations beyond the built‑in App Store.
