Appsmith
The quickest way to build dashboards, workflows, forms, or any kind of internal business tool.
Built with empathy, not just ❤︎
Appsmith is a fast, easy, and secure way to build any custom internal tools. Using Appsmith is easy.
- Create a page using pre-built UI components like table, charts, map viewers and forms.
- Connect the UI components to any REST API or databases like MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB. Write any logic in JS.
- Deploy the interal tool to a custom URL and invite users to sign in with their Google acounts.
Do all this without depending on multiple UI libraries, coding authentication logic or writing any DB or API integrations. See the looped gif below to see how something gets built on Appsmith.
Example Applications
Getting Started
You can try our online sandbox or deploy a Docker image on a server.
Why Appsmith?
When we need an internal tool, we turn to admin panels frameworks or use a bootstrap theme. Admin panels have an opinionated design These choices don't always work out because internal tools require iterations, maintenance, enhancements and eventually we reach a point where we're either spending a lot of time customising the admin panel or the UI terrifies users so much, they prefer holding our hand every time they try to use it.
Appsmith provides a better way of building internal tools by visualising them as modular blocks (Widgets, APIs, Queries, JS) and giving developers a simple user interface to configure them. With appsmith updating UI, changing dataflows and modifying business logic becomes a piece of cake because you no longer have to trudge through large undocumented code bases or fight with HTML/CSS. We understand that while some configurations are static and are better controlled via UI, a lot of it is dynamic and should be configured through code. Appsmith doesn't take the fun out of coding, instead it treats every block as an object and exposes it via javascript so that you can read, transform and manipulate it. Whether it's a widget, API or query, you get to decide where you need to configure and where you need to code.
