Everything comes together in one place.
Your records, views and business applications in one private workspace.
100% free, open source alternative to Airtable and Smartsheet
Tables
Build your own tables.
Give every field a type, then link records across tables and look values up through the link. Start from a template or a blank table.
Views
One set of records, many views.
Grid, board and form read the same records. Filter, group and sort them, then save a view so it is one click away.
Safe changes
Change with confidence.
Before a schema change applies, Cradle shows the fields it touches, the records it affects and any values it would remove. Removed values get a recovery export.
Also included
The practical parts.
Move data in and out, let routine work run on its own, and ask for a summary when you want one.
CSV in, CSV out
Import a CSV and see what will be created, updated or rejected before anything is saved. Export any view to CSV, with the columns you see.
Importing a baseAutomations you can see
Automations run on a product event or a schedule, and every run is recorded. Notifications arrive in the app and by email, and most email waits out your quiet hours.
How record automations workAI briefs, read only
Optional, clearly labelled, and read-only. A brief summarises your campaigns and risks and never edits a record. With AI off, the rest of Cradle works the same.
Ownership
Yours to run and change.
Cradle is MIT licensed and sends no telemetry.
Change the source, schema and screens with your own coding agents. Updates keep what you changed.
Your records are waiting.
Open the workspace to pick up your tables, views and automations.
