Requires PostgreSQL setup and multiple services (backend, frontend, database) to run locally.
Teable is a no-code database tool built on top of Postgres that lets you build database-driven apps using a familiar spreadsheet-like interface. The pitch is a "Postgres-Airtable fusion": you click into cells, type values, sort, filter, and build little applications without writing backend code, but underneath everything is being stored in a real Postgres database. That means the speed, data capacity, and SQL access of a serious database are available even though the experience looks like a smart spreadsheet. What you actually get in the interface is a grid where each table can have formulas, sorting, filtering, grouping, frozen columns, aggregations like sum or average, formatting for numbers and dates, and import or export through formats such as .csv and .xlsx. Beyond the basic grid view, Teable supports a form view for collecting data, with kanban, calendar, gallery, gantt, and timeline views listed as coming soon. Because the data sits in Postgres, you can also point business-intelligence tools like Metabase or PowerBI at it, plug it into no-code app builders, or run native SQL queries directly. Real-time collaboration is built in: multiple people can edit at the same time without refreshing, with permissions that go down to the column level. The README also previews future features such as backend-less extensions written in a JavaScript-style flavor, a visual automation workflow builder, and an AI "copilot" that can generate apps, charts, and views from natural-language prompts. Teable is aimed at teams or solo builders who want internal tools, trackers, project boards, or small CRUD applications without standing up a backend, while keeping the option to graduate later to native database queries. The project is written primarily in TypeScript and can be self-deployed.
