About Keila
Keila is an open source newsletter tool that you can self-host or use through its own hosted service in the EU. It focuses on clean email design and careful handling of subscriber data.
What it does
You manage contact lists and create newsletters with a block editor, Markdown, MJML or plain text. Templates are built to display well across common email clients and devices. Signup forms can include custom fields, captchas and double opt-in to reduce bot sign-ups. Analytics can be turned off for users who want to limit tracking, and the project is designed to collect only the data it needs.
Key features

Who it's for
Keila suits newsletter creators, privacy-minded teams and developers who want to run their own email list. It is a good fit for people who value open source and data protection.
Pricing and good to know
Keila is open source under the AGPL-3.0 licence, and you can run it yourself. The hosted version is provided from the EU. Self-hosting needs server skills and ongoing maintenance, and you are responsible for email delivery settings such as domain authentication.
