A self-hosted CRM for founders and small teams. Contacts, deal pipelines, and activity, all on your own server.

Challenge
Hosted CRMs are expensive, opinionated, and hand your data to a third party. Founders running lean sales processes don't need fifty integrations — they need a clean contacts view, a simple pipeline, and full ownership of their data.
Solution
Cairnly is a self-hosted CRM built with Next.js, tRPC, Drizzle ORM, and PostgreSQL. Docker-friendly deployment means it runs on any VPS in minutes. The interface is intentionally minimal — contacts, pipeline stages, and activity logs without the bloat.
Impact
A production CRM that a solo founder can spin up, own completely, and trust with their pipeline data.
