OrangeHRM is an open-source, self-hosted Human Resource Management (HRM) system built in PHP with MySQL, covering core enterprise HR functionality such as employee records and leave management. It ships with a web installer, a RESTful API, a Docker image, and a companion Android mobile app.

Use cases

• manage employee records and personal information
• track and approve employee leave requests
• self-host an HR system for a small or mid-size company
• integrate HR data into other tools via a REST API
• let employees check in and manage leave from a mobile app
• replace spreadsheets for HR administration

When to choose

• you need a full-featured, self-hosted HRMS without licensing fees
• your stack is PHP/MySQL and you want to customize the source
• you need leave management and employee records out of the box
• you want a REST API and mobile app alongside the web UI

When to avoid

• you need payroll or benefits administration beyond the starter edition's scope
• you prefer a SaaS HR product with vendor support and no hosting burden
• your team has no capacity to run and maintain a PHP/MySQL deployment
• you need deep integrations with third-party HR or ERP systems not covered by the API
