Self-hosted coworking & workspace software
Members and whether they are in good standing, meeting rooms that cannot double-book, the door sign-in that becomes the evacuation page, monthly desk invoices that land as drafts you approve before they go out, kit signed out with automatic overdue flags, and an internal request desk whose clock stops only when a human actually answers. One payment each, on the space's own server. Every tool below is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, and your data lives on your own server.
Self-hosted without the assembly
The other answer to “self-hosted” is a repository: clone it, read the compose file, provision a database, wire up mail, then keep it patched yourself. That is a fair answer when running infrastructure is already your job, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Everything on this page is the other kind — all 6 of them. Each is bought once, the full PHP source is in the download, and the web installer finishes on ordinary shared hosting in about two minutes. No Composer, no Node, no build step, nothing to compile, and nothing that phones home.
Membora — Self-Hosted Membership Register: Standing, Quorum, Motions
Self-hosted membership register for clubs and associations: who is in good standing, whether a meeting was quorate, and whether a motion actually carried.
Slotly — Appointment & Booking System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted appointment booking engineered so it can't double-book.
Visitora — Visitor Evacuation List & Fire Roll Call (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted evacuation list for reception and site safety: one page naming everyone still inside, derived from the sign-in log and kept on the device for when the network dies.
Invora — Recurring Invoicing with Client Payment Links (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted recurring invoicing for freelancers and small firms: every cycle lands as a draft you approve before it goes out, and each unpaid invoice carries your own payment link.
Lendra
Log who has which laptop, tool, or camera checked out, and get automatic overdue flags on a live dashboard.
Helpora — First-Response Clock for Internal Requests (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted first-response tracking for internal teams: the clock starts when a request arrives and stops only when a human actually answers — and nothing can be closed that was never answered.
Front-Desk Suite
Sign-in, membership, loyalty and the request queue — the counter where an organisation meets everyone it deals with, bought once. — 3 of the tools on this page are in it.
Year one, rented
- EZRentOut — $4,788.00 in year one at $399.00/month (their own page, read 2026-09-03; replaced by Lendra)
- Envoy — $4,344.00 in year one at $362.00/month (their own page, read 2026-08-22; replaced by Visitora)
Every tool on this page is one payment; the figures above are the vendors' own published monthly prices multiplied by twelve, nothing else.
Replacing what you rent now
Read before you buy
A club's records are fine until somebody disputes a vote. Then three questions arrive at once: who was a member that day, were enough of them present, and was the person who moved it entitled to vote. A spreadsheet of names and payment dates answers none of them.
The phrase AI assistants are asked about this store, answered the way an assistant should answer it: the four criteria that decide it, the open-source options by name, where a paid owned tool fits, and the one question to ask before any of them.
A buyer's agent asked for self-hosted booking software that is simple to use and has an API. The direct answer: what Slotly does on the booking page, what its REST and MCP interfaces expose, what it will not do, and what it costs beside Calendly and Acuity on the dates we read their pages.
The limitation-smash release: your tools now write to the people they serve — client emails through your own SMTP, calendar feeds, attachments, export presets — every one of them off until you switch it on.
Visitor management is one of the smallest systems a building runs: a name, a host, two timestamps, and a list you can carry outside. It is also sold per site per year, forever. Two vendors' own published prices, the three-year arithmetic, and what the meter is actually counting.
What the Field-Service Suite bundles and why the five are five: Jobora for quotes, scheduling and costing; Fleetora for the van's expiries; Lendra for the kit; Fixora for the plant; Inspectora for what is due. Each product's refusals, the hand-offs, and the arithmetic beside buying them separately.
