Overview
Overview
OhMyForm is a self‑hosted form builder aimed at teams, educators, NGOs, and developers who need full control over survey data. It offers a TypeForm‑like experience with mobile‑responsive layouts, multilingual interfaces, and a variety of question types, making it suitable for everything from customer feedback to academic assessments.
Core Capabilities
The platform includes native analytics, optional Google Analytics integration, export options (XLS, JSON, CSV), and a REST‑ful API. Forms can be embedded directly into websites, and customizable email or webhook notifications keep workflows automated. Deployment is straightforward with Docker, Docker‑Compose, or Heroku, supporting PostgreSQL or SQLite databases.
Getting Started
Documentation is hosted on OhMyForm.com, and a demo instance (username/password: demo) is available for quick evaluation. Because the project is licensed under AGPL‑3.0, you retain ownership of all collected data while benefiting from community‑driven improvements.
