listmonk is a self-hosted, high-performance newsletter and one-way mailing list manager written in Go, packaged as a single binary with a Vue-based dashboard.

• self-hosted Mailchimp alternative for email campaigns
• manage double opt-in mailing lists with segmentation
• send transactional emails via a simple API
• track campaign performance, bounces, and link clicks
• run high-throughput email queues with rate limiting

When to choose

• you want full ownership of subscriber data on your own infrastructure
• you need to send large campaigns efficiently with minimal resource usage
• you want a single-binary app with only a Postgres dependency
• you need one-way lists, opt-in management, and built-in analytics

When to avoid
