Open-source Accelo alternatives

Huly is an open-source platform meant to replace several tools at once, including Linear, Jira, Slack, Notion and Motion. Under the hood the Huly Platform is a framework for developing business applications such as CRM systems, and this repository includes applications for chat, project management, CRM, HR management and applicant tracking, with team and issue management covered too.

There are two important notices. First, the repository is frozen and no longer actively maintained, with development continuing in the Platform-Collective/platform repository. Second, the managed Huly service was shut down since nobody is funding its hosting any more. The remaining option is to self-host Huly or use another hosted provider, and the README points to a backup and restore guide and a community for migration help.

The code is written in TypeScript and licensed under EPL-2.0. Other teams have built products on top of the platform. Anyone interested in Huly today should look at the successor repository for current source code, issues and releases rather than relying on this one.

AgencyOS is an open-source operating system for digital agencies, built with Nuxt 3 on the front end and Directus as the backend. It was created through a partnership between Directus and NuxtLabs, by people with agency experience who know that the hard part is not the creative work but the surrounding management, client communication and getting paid on time. It is for agencies, new or established, that want tooling they can shape themselves.

The project is designed to be fully hackable so each agency can build its own project management app and internal system quickly instead of settling for off-the-shelf tools. It also serves as a complete example of what can be built on Directus. The README links to installation instructions, a demo site, video tutorials, deployment guidance, community help and contribution notes, and its topics cover headless CMS, CRM, Tailwind CSS and Nuxt UI.

The stack uses Vue, Nuxt, Tailwind CSS and TypeScript. AgencyOS is licensed under MIT and runs on infrastructure you control, with Directus providing the data layer, permissions and admin interface.
