About Ninox
Ninox is a commercial low-code platform for building database applications. Users define tables, forms and views for their business data and can add logic through a built-in scripting language, which suits teams that outgrow spreadsheets but do not want to commission custom software.
Ninox is a proprietary product offered as a hosted service; its site lists it under both database tools and low-code internal tools. Detailed capabilities, platform support and plans are described by the vendor on its own site, and it is typically used for CRM-style, inventory and project tracking apps.
