Ever Gauzy is an open-source business management platform that covers a wide range of functions typically spread across separate paid tools. It handles HR, payroll tracking, customer relationship management, project tasks, invoicing, expenses, time tracking, and hiring pipelines, all within a single system. The project targets companies, freelancers, agencies, and on-demand businesses that want to run these operations without licensing proprietary software. The feature list is extensive. On the HR side it covers employee records, onboarding, time off approvals, activity monitoring, and performance goals. On the financial side it handles invoicing, billing, payments, income and expense tracking, and multi-currency support. There is also a sales pipeline, a help center module, scheduling and appointments, inventory and equipment tracking, and reports across most of these areas. The platform supports multiple organizations and departments within a single installation, and it ships with role-based permissions. For day-to-day time tracking, there is a dedicated desktop timer application for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This app can run standalone or connect to a Gauzy server on a different machine. A separate all-in-one desktop app bundles the full platform locally if you want to run everything on one computer. A web-based interface is also available, and the project exposes APIs so other tools can connect to it. The codebase is written in TypeScript. You can try a live demo at demo.gauzy.co, and official downloads are available from the project website. The SaaS version at app.gauzy.co was in alpha testing at the time of the README. The project is licensed under AGPL v3, which means any modifications you deploy publicly must also be made available as open source.

AGPL v3, you can use and modify it freely, but if you deploy a modified version publicly, you must also share your modifications as open source.
Setup difficulty is rated hard, with roughly 1h+ to a first successful run.
