A complete backend, ready in minutes.
PocketBase is the engine room for your web or mobile app. It gives you a database, user accounts, file storage, and a beautiful admin dashboard — all in one place. Launch it, and you can start building your app's backend right away, without writing a single line of server code.
What makes PocketBase worth launching.
Create tables (called collections) and define fields right from the dashboard — no database skills needed.
Let people sign up with email or Google/Facebook login. PocketBase handles passwords, verification, and security.
Upload files and images directly. PocketBase even generates thumbnails for you automatically.
When data changes, your app updates instantly — perfect for chat apps, live dashboards, and collaborative tools.
Browse, search, and edit all your data through a clean web interface. No command line required.
Your data is automatically available through a simple API that your frontend app can talk to right away.
If you fit one of these, PocketBase is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where PocketBase makes a real difference.
Build the backend for your iOS or Android app in minutes — user logins, data storage, and push-ready updates, all handled for you.
Create a simple app for your team to manage inventory, track customer info, or log project updates — no IT department required.
Launch your subscription-based app with user accounts, billing-ready data structures, and real-time dashboards from day one.
Turn that messy Google Sheet into a real database with a clean dashboard where multiple people can add and edit data safely.
PocketBase is an open-source app that handles everything your app needs behind the scenes. Think of it as the brain of your application: it stores your data, manages user sign-ups and logins, handles file uploads, and gives you a clean dashboard to see it all. You create collections of data — like customer records, product listings, or project tasks — and PocketBase automatically creates the tools to add, edit, search, and share them. It also updates data in real time, so if someone adds a new record, everyone else sees it instantly. With over 59,000 GitHub stars and a passionate community, PocketBase has become the go-to choice for founders, freelancers, and small teams who want a powerful backend without the complexity.
PocketBase gives you everything you'd expect from a premium backend service — a database, user authentication, file storage, and an admin dashboard — all in one tidy package. It's loved by developers and creators because it removes the hardest part of building an app: setting up the backend. Instead of juggling multiple tools and services, you get one app that just works. Whether you're launching your first mobile app, building a tool for your small business, or prototyping a new idea, PocketBase lets you focus on what matters most: your users and your product.
