Brimir is an open-source email helpdesk/ticketing system built with Ruby on Rails and Zurb Foundation that converts incoming support emails into assignable tickets. It supports agent assignment, labels, automation rules, and multilingual interfaces, and is self-hosted.

Use cases

  • convert incoming support emails into tickets
  • self-host an open-source helpdesk
  • assign support tickets to team members
  • automate ticket routing with rules
  • manage a shared support inbox with a team

When to choose

  • you need a simple, self-hosted email-to-ticket helpdesk you can customize in Rails
  • you want an AGPL open-source alternative to SaaS helpdesks
  • your team handles support primarily over email

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software with recent security updates (archived since 2018)
  • you want a modern stack or SaaS-style hosted solution
  • you need advanced features like live chat, SLAs, or knowledge bases
