Show HN: Sheety – An open-source CRM that with Google Sheets as DB

5 points

4 months ago

Built this after spending ages looking for the right CRM to work with. I’d sign up for a CRM, get annoyed by the complexity or the monthly per-user pricing, export everything to CSV, and go back to managing my sales in a Google Sheet.

While spreadsheets are great for data, they are terrible for workflows (pipelines, activity logging, moving cards around).

So I built a "stateless" UI layer on top of Google Sheets.

The concept is simple:

No Vendor Lock-in: The app doesn't have its own database. It reads and writes directly to your Google Sheet via the API.

Exit Strategy: If you stop using the app (or if I stop maintaining it), you don't need to "export" your data. It's already in your Google Drive, in a format you own.

Also working on CLI + open API routes that will enable MCP like connectors.
