Saltcorn

The platform lets users create web and mobile database applications without writing code, offering a point‑and‑click interface for defining tables, fields, and relationships. Users can assemble pages, forms, and data views with a drag‑and‑drop builder, apply themes, and extend functionality through a plugin store that adds new datatypes, views, and themes. It also includes built‑in support for workflows, email notifications, PDF generation, and integration with AI services.

It is targeted at developers, business users, and teams who need to prototype or deploy data‑driven applications quickly, especially when coding resources are limited. Because the entire stack runs on Node.js and PostgreSQL (or SQLite), it can be self‑hosted on modest virtual machines, and it also offers a multitenant trial instance for exploration.

The project is released under the MIT license, is fully open source, and can be installed via npm, Docker, or a one‑click script for Linux. It bundles several open‑source components such as Express, Blockly, and Craft.js, and provides a plugin architecture for further customization.
