Teable
Open-source no-code database built natively on Postgres — real-time, API-first, and Airtable-compatible.
Last commit 2026-06-01
Teable is the newest entrant in the open-source no-code database space, and its architectural bet sets it apart: data is stored natively in PostgreSQL as real table rows, not inside a proprietary format sitting on top of a database. Schema changes you make through the Teable UI are actual Postgres migrations, which means you can connect any SQL client, run queries directly, and treat the underlying database as a first-class data source — not a black box managed by the no-code layer.
The product ships with the views this category demands — grid, kanban, gallery, calendar, and form — plus real-time multi-user collaboration that updates across sessions without a page refresh. Field types cover the standard spreadsheet-database repertoire: linked records, rollups, lookups, formulas, and attachments. Every table gets an auto-generated REST API with OpenAPI docs, and row- and column-level permission controls give admins fine-grained access management.
The honest limitation is maturity. Teable's repository accumulated around 14,000 GitHub stars quickly, signaling genuine developer interest, but the extension ecosystem, template library, and third-party integration depth are still modest compared to NocoDB's several-year head start or Baserow's established marketplace. Teams comfortable adopting newer open-source tooling will find the Postgres-native architecture clean and forward-thinking. Teams that need broad database compatibility, a large plugin ecosystem, or a long community track record today will find NocoDB or Baserow safer bets in the near term.
