Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
This is a curated reference list of 60 open-source, self-hostable projects. Self-hosting means running software on your own server or computer rather than relying on a cloud service someone else controls, which gives you more privacy and control over your data. The list covers a wide range of categories: productivity tools like note-taking apps and kanban boards, communication tools including newsletter managers and customer support software, file storage and sharing tools, media tools for photo galleries and screen recording, document signing, web analytics, content management systems, e-commerce and invoicing platforms, security tools like password managers and identity providers, developer tools including search engines and package registries, server dashboards for home labs, and small utilities like file converters. Each entry is a brief one-line description with a link to the GitHub repository. You would use this as a starting point when evaluating alternatives to commercial SaaS products. For example, if you want to replace Notion with something you host yourself, or if you want a privacy-friendly analytics solution instead of Google Analytics, this list points you to vetted open-source options. There is no code in this repository, it is purely a directory organized as a README.
