Why not off-the-shelf

Generic software
is a trap.

It starts cheap. Then your team bends around someone else's workflow, your data gets boxed in, and every useful change costs extra.

Codebase. Yours.

One workspace.

CRM, projects, invoicing, and time tracking — built around how your team actually works.

Your data, your server.

Export as JSON or CSV anytime. Self-host if you want. GPL-3.0 licensed with source-sharing obligations and no vendor lock-in.

Only what you use.

We strip the bloat. What remains is fast, focused, and built to disappear into your workflow.

AGENCY INQUIRIES

How does the free CRM work?
BareStackOS is open-source and free. You can use the hosted cloud instance at app.barestack.org or self-host it on your own server. There are no licensing fees. You only pay if you hire us to build custom integrations, automations, or web apps around it.
What kind of custom work do you do?
We build custom web applications, SaaS MVPs, client dashboards, high-performance marketing sites, mobile apps, and business automation pipelines. If it has an API, we can connect it. We build to your workflow rather than forcing your workflow into a template.
How much does custom development cost?
We scope projects around the outcome and the complexity of the system. Because the free CRM core and our reusable infrastructure already exist, we can usually deliver custom websites, apps, and automations much faster than a typical agency.
Can I self-host BareStackOS?
Yes. The CRM core is available on GitHub under GPL-3.0 with additional terms. You can host it yourself, keep full control of your data, and modify it under the project license, but you cannot take it as a standalone replacement product and resell it as your own.
The Philosophy
03

SYSTEMS
FOR builders.

Business software should fit the work, not force the work to fit the software.

Custom systems should not cost a fortune. You shouldn't be locked into generic software templates or high subscription taxes.

We build custom integrations, tailored apps, and AI automations that you own entirely. Free of bloat, built for extreme speed.
