Why SelfHosted

Software that runs on your server, not theirs.

Every app in this directory can be self-hosted: your files, media, notes and workflows live on hardware you control — no subscriptions, no lock-in, no surprise shutdowns. We write every description ourselves and pull the facts (stars, activity, official links) from public sources.
