At SourceBox, we believe no one should pay an arm and a leg just to use great tools. Whether you’re a developer automating docs, a data analyst running SQL at the edge, or a casual creative type using AI-powered wallpapers and other creative tools, our 100% open-source, self-hosted solutions give you full control on your own hardware, at your own pace, with zero surprise bills.

Say goodbye to vendor lock-in and per-query fees. From our Lightning MD’s README generator to OpenS3’s S3-compatible storage and Open Athena's lightning-fast local SQL, every SourceBox project is designed to either run for free on streamlit community or entirely on your machine—private, performant, and infinitely extensible.
