Java ERP framework for building bespoke systems
CATALOGUE
67 open-source apps, installed on your own server
These are the applications AppCrane can install for you. Each one is open source, each one runs in its own container on a machine you own, behind your sign-in and your audit trail. Pick one from this page, install it from the AppCrane dashboard, and it comes up on your own domain with HTTPS already handled — no vendor account in the middle, and nothing to migrate off later.

What the catalogue does not do
An entry gets an application installed and running. It does not make that application part of the platform — the person using it still signs in a second time, and the application still keeps its own accounts. That second set of accounts is the thing worth removing, and it is what Skiff is for: single sign-on at the edge, roles the application defines itself, platform email, a health contract, and a managed database.
Some entries need a database, marked on the card above. AppCrane can provision and wire that database for you when it installs the app, so it is a fact about the app rather than work you have to do.
This page is a snapshot. The catalogue itself lives in the AppCrane repository and moves faster than this page does. What you install always comes from your own AppCrane instance — treat this list as the shape of the catalogue, not as a live index of it. A platform admin can switch the catalogue off entirely in Settings.
AppCrane — self-hosted, agent-native, open source.
