In simple English
This tool helps you manage cold sales outreach without losing control. It gathers company data and scores leads using strict math instead of guessing. You review every message before the system sends it to anyone. You need a computer that can run Docker and Node.js to set it up. It is free to use under the Apache 2.0 licence.
What it is
An open-source TypeScript control plane for lead discovery, scoring, and human-approved outbound messaging. It combines data gathering, workflow automation, and a web dashboard into one self-hosted system.
What it is good for
Solo founders and small teams who want to run cold outreach campaigns with strict safety rails and zero automated spam.
- Deterministic scoring uses pure code instead of unpredictable language models.
- Built-in approval gate prevents any message from sending without human sign-off.
- Includes a Next.js dashboard to inspect leads, signals, and system health.
- Requires technical setup with Node.js, pnpm, Docker, and environment variables.
- You must bring your own paid API credentials for data providers and email channels.
- Requires ongoing server maintenance to keep background workflows running reliably.
