Self-hosted alternatives to Startme

Connect familiar SaaS workflows to open-source self-hosted apps that can replace or reduce dependency on hosted tools.

Dashy

Feature-rich start page for organizing service links and status widgets.

Dashy is a flexible start page with many layout and widget options. It fits people who want a personal or household portal that can be customized heavily.

The tradeoff is that broad customization can turn into theme maintenance. Keep configuration in version control and test mobile layouts.

Homepage

Highly configurable dashboard for services, bookmarks, and widgets.

Homepage is a modern service dashboard that can show links, widgets, health checks, and useful homelab status in one place. It is best when the start page should be operational, not just decorative.

The tradeoff is YAML configuration and widget credential handling. Store secrets carefully and keep widget scope narrow.
