What NocoDB is
NocoDB gives teams a spreadsheet-style way to create online databases from scratch or connect existing Postgres or MySQL data. Its Grid, Kanban, Gallery, Form, and Calendar views offer different ways to work with records. Data can also be accessed through interactive interfaces, APIs, and SQL. Listed use cases include CRM, project management, operations, and inventory management. Documentation lists connections to NocoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle, as well as AI providers OpenAI, Claude, and Google. APIs and webhooks support integrations and custom automations. NocoDB can be hosted by the maker or self-hosted on Linux, macOS, or Windows; a Docker quickstart works across platforms with Docker Desktop. The free hosted plan supports up to three users and 1,000 records. Community is free for self-deployment with unlimited records, storage, and seats. Community Fair Code permits internal self-hosting; offering a hosted or managed service to others may require a commercial license.
