About Open Source
Open source on Beast Launches means the code sits in plain view and the launch is loud about it. Apps, libraries, self-hosted tools and open models all land in this category. Read the source. Fork it. Run it on your own machine. No black boxes, no polite hand-waving, no vague promises about what happens under the bonnet.
This page lists every product and business in Open Source and its subcategories, with filters to cut the pile down. Newest launches come first by default. Sort by community votes when you want the crowd's verdict; votes can never be bought. Founders choose a main category when they submit, and this one is included free. A public repository, a clear licence and honest docs make a launch easier to trust, so show them.

Open Source: questions answered
- What belongs in Open Source?
- Products and businesses whose code the public can read, and ideally reuse under a stated licence. That covers finished apps, code libraries, tools you host yourself and open AI models. If the source is locked away and only the marketing is open, it belongs in another category.
- How do I choose between the subcategories?
- Ask who runs it and who uses it. End users opening an app go in Open source apps. Developers importing code go in Developer libraries. Teams deploying on their own servers go in Self-hosted tools. Models, weights and training tooling go in Open source AI.
- How do I get my open source project listed here?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from that site, then you check and edit every field before anything goes live. Pick Open Source or a subcategory as your main category. A paid launch costs $5; a free listing waits about 6-8 weeks.
- Can a listing sit in more than one category?
- Every listing has one main category, included free. A project that straddles lines, such as a self-hosted AI app, can add more through the paid upgrade. It adds up to 3 extra categories for $5, so the right people find it.
- What should I check when comparing open source options?
- Check the licence, how recently the code was touched, and whether the docs let a stranger get running. Look at how the project handles issues and contributions. Then sort by community votes to see what other people backed, knowing votes can never be bought.
