Formspree is a form-to-email backend service that lets static sites submit HTML forms by pointing the form action at a Formspree URL, with no server-side code required. This repository contains the original open-source Flask implementation, which is no longer maintained; the actively developed successor is the closed-source hosted service at formspree.io.

Use cases

• add a contact form to a static site without a backend
• receive form submissions as email without writing server code
• forward HTML form submissions to an email address
• add spam honeypot protection to plain HTML forms
• self-host a form handling endpoint with Flask, SendGrid, and PostgreSQL
• set custom reply-to, subject, and redirect behavior on form submissions

When to choose

• you want a zero-backend contact form on a static or Jamstack site
• you need to self-host the legacy open-source form handler and accept no vendor support
• you want simple email forwarding of form data with minimal setup

When to avoid

• you need maintained open-source code you can extend or get support for
• you require modern features like file uploads, integrations, or analytics from the current product
• you are starting a new project, since the repository is explicitly no longer active
