Business tools you own, not rent.
Complete, self-hosted software you buy one time and run on your own server. No monthly bill that never ends. No company holding your data hostage. It's yours to keep, brand, and extend.
Rent forever, or own it once.
Most business software charges you every month, forever, and keeps your data on their servers. Ownware tools are the opposite: a single purchase, hosted wherever you want, fully yours.
Renting SaaS
- $40–100+ every month, forever
- Your data lives on their cloud
- Prices rise; features get paywalled
- Locked in — leaving means losing everything
Owning Ownware
- Pay once, use forever
- Runs on your own server, your data
- No surprise price hikes, no paywalls
- Yours to brand, modify, and keep
Complete apps, not starter kits.
Each one is a finished product a real business can run today — not a template you have to assemble.
Invora — Invoicing & Billing
A full self-hosted invoicing system: branded invoices & estimates, live line-item builder, payments with auto-derived paid/partial/overdue status, clients, item catalog, tax rates, multi-currency, branded PDFs, and read-only public client links — with money math proven by an included test suite. Plain PHP + MySQL, runs on any shared host.
Slotly — Appointment Booking
A complete self-hosted booking system: a clean booking widget your clients use in seconds, staff with working hours & time off, buffers, group classes, deposits, coupons, email reminders, and a scheduling engine that can't double-book — proven by an included test suite. Plain PHP + MySQL, runs on any shared host.
Vendra — POS & Inventory
A complete self-hosted point of sale: barcode-ready checkout, split payments, holds, purchases & suppliers, returns, register day-close (Z-reports), true profit from weighted-average costing — and a stock ledger that can't oversell, proven by an included test suite. Plain PHP + MySQL, runs on any shared host.
More tools, same principle
The catalog is growing — the same complete, self-hosted, own-it-once approach applied to the everyday tools businesses pay monthly for. Helpdesk is next in line.
Software that answers to you.
You keep the data
Everything runs on your own server. No third party can read it, lose it, or lock you out of it.
No forever-bill
One purchase. The tool keeps working whether or not anyone's charging you a subscription.
Yours to extend
Clean, standard stack (plain PHP + MySQL, Docker-ready, no frameworks). Brand it, tweak it, deploy it however you like.
