About

Internal operations software shouldn't be this hard to own.

Zebric is an open-source platform for internal operations software — built because the existing options all ask you to give up too much control over something too important.

There's a spreadsheet somewhere in your company that became a system. A Zapier workflow holding together two tools that were never meant to talk. A custom admin panel that works fine — until the process changes, and then it's a six-week ticket in someone else's backlog.

No-code tools and SaaS platforms are the usual response. They work, for a while. Then your configuration ends up inside a vendor's UI. Your data ends up in their schema. When an AI tries to help, it can't — there's nothing to read.

Zebric is a different approach. You describe your operations as a blueprint — entities, workflows, permissions, views — in plain text that lives in your repository. The platform generates the software. When something needs to change, you edit the file. So can your AI.

Principles
01
The spec outlasts the code

A blueprint describing what a system does is more durable than the code implementing it. You can diff it, review it, and ask an AI to change it.

02
Your data shouldn't need an export wizard

Operations data in a SaaS platform is subject to their schema, their API limits, and their acquisition decisions. Self-hosted means you query it directly.

03
AI helps more when systems are legible

The teams getting the most out of AI aren't the ones with the best prompts — they're the ones whose logic is already written down somewhere a model can read.

04
Read the code running your operations

Open source means you can audit it, run it yourself, and fork it. That's not a nice-to-have for software your business depends on.
