About

What is Baserow?

Baserow is an open-source, no-code database tool and Airtable alternative that empowers teams to organize, manage, and collaborate on data without writing code. It provides a familiar spreadsheet-like interface with powerful database features including multiple field types, views (grid, gallery, form, kanban, calendar), real-time collaboration, and an API for every table. Fully self-hostable via Docker, Baserow gives organizations complete data ownership and privacy — with no row limits on the community edition.
