Appsmith
Open-source low-code platform for building internal apps, dashboards, admin panels, workflows, and CRUD interfaces from databases and APIs.

Appsmith lets developers build internal applications with drag-and-drop widgets, database and API connections, JavaScript logic, custom widgets, workflows, and Git-based version control. It can run in Appsmith Cloud or be self-hosted.
Teams use it for dashboards, admin panels, approval apps, customer-support tools, portals, and CRUD interfaces. The Free plan is limited to five cloud users and five workspaces; Business and Enterprise add collaboration, security, support, and deployment features. Appsmith AI data sources are scheduled for removal on September 30, 2026.
