Automatisch
AGPL-licensed, self-hosted automation focused on data privacy.
85
sovereigntyAutomatisch is an open-source automation tool that positions itself as a privacy-focused, self-hosted alternative for connecting apps and building workflows. Its core is AGPL-3.0 licensed and runs on your own server via Docker, keeping data in the EU or wherever you host. Some enterprise files are under a separate commercial license. Its connector library is smaller and its release cadence has been slower than the busiest projects here, so check that it covers the apps you need.

What it does well
- +Core is AGPL-3.0, a strong copyleft OSI-approved license
- +Self-hosted by design, with an explicit data-privacy and data-residency focus
- +Straightforward Docker deployment; your data stays on your infrastructure
- +Clear, approachable no-code interface for common app-to-app flows
Where it falls short
- −Noticeably smaller integration catalog than Zapier, n8n, or Activepieces
- −Slower development cadence than the busiest projects here (last major repo activity earlier in 2026)
- −Some enterprise features sit under a separate commercial license
- −AGPL-3.0 copyleft terms may need review for certain commercial redistribution scenarios
