Saltcorn is a free, open-source, extensible no-code database application builder for creating web and mobile apps with tables, views, layouts, and workflows via visual builders. It supports self-hosting, multitenancy, plugins, and runs on Node.js with PostgreSQL or SQLite.

Use cases

• build a custom database web app without coding
• replace spreadsheets and Access databases with structured apps
• self-host an internal ops or project tracking tool
• create a multitenant SaaS-style app builder instance
• build CRUD apps with forms, views, and dashboards visually
• prototype business workflow apps around my own data

When to choose

• you want an open-source, self-hosted no-code alternative with no license fees
• your data must stay under your control and not be locked into a closed SaaS
• you need extensible apps with plugins, roles, and workflow automation
• you want to run on a small VPS with Node.js and PostgreSQL

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed hosted no-code platform with SLAs
• you require highly custom logic better served by writing code directly
• you need native mobile apps rather than web-based interfaces
• your team has no capacity to self-host and maintain a server
