LibreAlts is an independent catalog of open-source software, focused on self-hosted tools that replace paid SaaS and commercial products for teams and small businesses.
Who runs it
A small independent team. We are not a company, we don’t sell software, and we don’t run ads disguised as download buttons. The catalog is maintained by hand: every entry is checked before publication.
Where the data comes from
- Our starting point was awesome-selfhosted, a community-maintained list of self-hosted software (used under CC BY-SA 3.0). From it we took project names, links and category ideas.
- Descriptions are written by us, in our own words, based on each project’s official documentation.
- Versions, release dates, file hashes and licenses are taken from official project repositories and release pages — see how we verify.
What we are NOT
- We are not the developers of the listed programs and don’t speak for any project.
- We are not an official distributor: download buttons lead to the projects’ own release files, unchanged.
- We are not affiliated with any of the commercial products mentioned as alternatives.

Why open source?
Open source programs are free to use, share and inspect: the license guarantees it, and the community keeps the code alive. No subscriptions, no license keys, no vendor lock-in. For the full picture — what open source means and where it fits a business — see the catalog and each program’s license page.
