HeyForm: Open source form builder, built for small business success

HeyForm is an open-source form builder that enables small businesses, developers, and teams to create customizable, AI-powered conversational forms, surveys, quizzes, and polls with seamless integrations.

🚀 Overview

HeyForm is a powerful open-source form builder designed specifically for small business success, offering an intuitive way to create engaging, conversational forms that feel like your brand. It solves the common pain points of traditional form tools like high costs, limited customization, and vendor lock-in by providing AI-driven generation, smart logic, and full self-hosting capabilities.

Built for small business owners, indie developers, non-profits, and product teams who need efficient data collection for sign-ups, feedback, surveys, or automation.
