Civic OS
Low-code civic technology

Empowering government & nonprofits

Civic OS helps small governments and community organizations build the systems they need from their own data, and change them as the work changes, without writing code.

Why Civic OS

Software that fits the work, not the other way around

Configure the system your organization needs from its own data, and change it as the work changes.

Build without code

Your system is configured from your own data, not custom-built from scratch, so changes take hours, not a new contract.

Own your data, no lock-in

Your data structure is the product. Inspect it, export it, or self-host the whole system; nothing is locked away.

Works in any language

Multi-language and right-to-left support are built in, so intake and forms meet people in the language they use.

Field story
Civic OS met us exactly at our point of need and built a well-functioning, custom solution. We had outgrown our mountain of spreadsheets and digital tools, but did not have the size to merit an expensive custom software build. Civic OS gave us everything we needed and continually went the extra mile.
