ToolJet
Rapidly create internal tools with a visual low‑code builder
ToolJet provides a drag‑and‑drop visual builder, 75+ data source connectors, multi‑page apps, and collaborative editing, enabling teams to develop internal dashboards and workflows without writing code.
Overview
Who benefits
ToolJet is aimed at product, operations, and engineering teams that need to deliver internal dashboards, admin panels, and workflow tools quickly, without allocating extensive development resources.
Core capabilities
The platform offers a drag‑and‑drop visual builder with over 60 responsive components, a built‑in no‑code database, and the ability to run JavaScript or Python directly in apps. With more than 75 native connectors, users can bind to SQL databases, REST APIs, SaaS services, and object storage. Collaboration features such as inline comments, mentions, and multi‑user editing enable teams to co‑create in real time.
Flexible deployment
ToolJet can be self‑hosted on any infrastructure—Docker, Kubernetes, or major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure). The same codebase powers the managed ToolJet Cloud offering, giving organizations the choice between on‑premise control and a fully hosted solution.
