## What it is
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
