No-code platform that turns any database into a smart spreadsheet (alternative to Airtable and Smartsheet).

Licensed under SUL-1.0, which isn't an OSI-approved open-source licence: the code is public but some uses are restricted.

Switching from Airtable

Your data: NocoDB imports straight from an Airtable shared base or shared view link.

In Airtable, get a shared base or shared view URL. A shared base also needs an Airtable Personal Access Token; a shared view URL doesn't.
In NocoDB, click the project name in the sidebar and choose Import data → Airtable Base (or Import Data → Airtable on the project dashboard).
Enter the token (leave it empty for a shared view), paste the URL, pick a data source and start the import.

Watch out for:
