Why open source?

Simple: Business software needs a reset. The era of bloated companies charging you for every person who needs to see a task is ending. Future products should be sustainable, open, and transparent.

Open code, faster progress

We're building Operately in the open because the best ideas can come from anywhere. Bug fixes, features, improvements – software thrives when smart people can see how it works and make it better.

Full transparency

Your business runs on this software. You should be able to see exactly what it does. No surprises, no dark patterns, no lock-in. Just clean, auditable code that does what it says.

Run it your way

Self-host it. Build on top of it. Make it yours. Your processes are too important to be trapped in someone else's black box.

An open foundation for sharing

The best business practices should be shared, not hidden behind paywalls. Templates, workflows, processes – when shared and collaborated openly, they create a rising tide that lifts all boats.

Yes, we offer a hosted version. Yes, we charge for it. But the code is yours, forever. That's our promise.
