Introducing selfh.st/apps, a Directory of Self-Hosted Software

A directory of self-hosted software and applications for easy browsing

One of the more common requests for content I receive from This Week in Self-Hosted subscribers is a browsable list of applications and software that have been featured in the newsletter's Content Spotlight section.

Today, I'm taking this request one step further and publishing the entire list of self-hosted software projects I follow and track in a browsable format – which can be accessed at selfh.st/apps.

Self-Hosted Applications and Alternatives

The list of software covers a wide range of self-hosted projects (both open- and closed-source) and includes filters for tags and popular hosted alternatives as well as sort options based on the number of repository stars, date of last development activity, and alphabetical order.

On the backend, the page is populated by a database I've maintained over the past year as a way to track relevant projects for the newsletter. And while it took several weeks to build the webpage and functionality to populate the tiles (with help from AI), the entire process is now automated and the details will update daily as I add new projects for my own tracking moving forward.

Additional details and anticipated questions about the list can be found here. As usual, feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect about any aspect of this project.

Thanks, and happy selfh.st/ing!
