About NocoDB
NocoDB turns a database into a spreadsheet-style interface. It can work with your own Postgres or MySQL database, or with a hosted option.
What it does
You view records as a grid, kanban board, gallery, form or calendar. Data can be read and changed through the interface, through an API, or with SQL queries. It suits teams that want an Airtable-like tool but keep their data in a database they control. Templates for common uses such as CRM and inventory give you a starting point.
Key features
- Grid, kanban, gallery, form and calendar views
- Connects to Postgres and MySQL databases
- API access and SQL queries
- Import from Airtable
- Templates for CRM and inventory tracking
Who it's for
Teams that want a spreadsheet look on top of a real database, and developers who want a no-code layer for their data. Operations and project teams also use it to track tasks and stock.
Pricing and good to know
The project is open source and is available on GitHub. A hosted cloud version is also offered, and the site invites you to start for free. The site says large row counts are supported, but performance depends on your database setup. Check the vendor's pricing page for cloud plan details.
