Bright CRM

Open Source

Modern CRM anyone can self-host

The Challenge

Small businesses need CRM software but can't afford Salesforce or HubSpot. Most open-source alternatives are clunky, outdated, or require a DevOps team to deploy.

The Solution

Built a full-featured CRM from scratch with Next.js, Prisma, and SQLite. One-command Docker setup, customizable pipelines, AI-powered candidate briefs, and integrations with Gmail, Google Calendar, Twilio, and Dialpad. Industry presets for recruiting, real estate, and sales.

Results
