Forms worthpouringyour data into.

Google Forms has the design sense of a tax return. Typeform costs more than your Netflix. ChaiForm is free, open source, genuinely pretty, and fuelled entirely by chai.

Build your first formSee it in the wild

The math, plainly

Other form builders hand you a bill.
We hand you a receipt for nothing.

No seats. No “contact sales.” No watermark begging you to upgrade. Self-host it or use ours — the price is the same cup of nothing.

Everything a form needs. Nothing it doesn't.

  • Two surfaces, one builder

    Ship a hosted form with a beautiful URL, or grab an API endpoint and bolt it onto the HTML you already have.

  • Drag, drop, done

    Sortable fields with conditional logic. Auto-saves as you go. Preview without ever leaving the canvas.

  • Responses & analytics

    Real-time view / start / submit / abandon tracking and CSV export. No third-party analytics SDK phoning home.

  • Security, pre-brewed

    Honeypot, captcha, origin allowlist, recipient verification, and AES-GCM for every stored secret.

  • One docker image

    One container, one origin, one DNS record. No CORS gymnastics. Ships with Kamal out of the box.

  • Themes with a personality

    Matrix, Cyberpunk, Minecraft, Windows Vista (unironic). Switch the entire vibe in two clicks.

For your client sites

Endpoint forms.
No UI required.

Paste a plain HTML form on your client's site. We handle delivery, anti-spam, captcha, rate limits, and webhooks. You handle the invoice.
