Lowcoder
Open-source low-code platform for building business apps and UIs
Lowcoder is an open-source low-code platform for building internal tools and customer-facing web applications with minimal coding. It provides a visual app builder, reusable modules, and broad data-source connectivity for rapidly creating production-ready UIs.
Key Features
- Visual UI builder with 120+ components for responsive, data-driven apps
- Native connections to common data sources (including SQL/NoSQL databases, REST APIs, and SMTP)
- JavaScript scripting to transform data and control component behavior
- Reusable building blocks via modules and a query library
- Role-based access control (RBAC) for users, groups, and permissions
- Version history with autosave and restore for iterative development
- Theme editor to standardize branding and styling across apps
- Extensible plugin architecture for custom components and integrations
Use Cases
- Build admin panels, dashboards, and internal operations tools connected to company data
- Create customer-facing portals and embedded “mini apps” for websites
- Rapidly modernize legacy workflows by adding new web UIs on top of existing systems
Limitations and Considerations
- Advanced collaboration and meeting-style experiences depend on specific components and may require additional configuration and infrastructure
Lowcoder suits teams that want a flexible, extensible app builder without being locked into proprietary low-code platforms. It is especially useful when you need both rapid UI development and direct control via JavaScript and data-source queries.
