FreeScout

Self-hosted help desk and shared mailbox alternative to Help Scout.

FreeScout is an open-source help desk and shared-inbox application built on Laravel with a MySQL/PostgreSQL backend, positioned as a free alternative to Help Scout and Zendesk. It turns shared email mailboxes into a collaborative ticketing system with assignments, notes, canned replies, tags, and a modular add-on ecosystem. It is notable for being lightweight, mobile-friendly, and fully self-hostable on modest hardware.
