Twenty

Twenty is a modern, open source CRM platform founded in 2023 in Paris, France. Built as a community-driven alternative to proprietary CRM platforms like Salesforce, Twenty aims to give businesses full ownership and control over their customer relationship data. The project is licensed under AGPL and has quickly gained traction in the open source community with thousands of GitHub stars.

The platform provides a clean, intuitive interface for managing contacts, companies, and deals. It features a customizable data model that lets teams define their own object types and relationships, a powerful search and filter system, email integration, task management, timeline activity views, and a GraphQL API for building custom integrations. Twenty is built with a modern tech stack including React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, making it easy for developers to extend and customize.

As a French open source project, Twenty represents a new wave of European CRM tools that prioritize data sovereignty and transparency. The platform can be self-hosted on any infrastructure, giving organizations complete control over where their customer data resides. For European companies that need a flexible CRM without vendor lock-in or concerns about US data jurisdiction, Twenty offers a compelling and rapidly maturing alternative.
