What Broadcast is

Broadcast is self-hosted email marketing software for newsletters, automated sequences, and transactional email. It runs on Linux and offers an API, while the maker says subscriber data stays on your server. Emails can be assembled with drag-and-drop blocks or pasted HTML, with reusable brand colors, fonts, and logos. Automated sequences schedule steps and change tags; segments combine rules for tags, custom fields, opens, and clicks. Providers include Amazon SES, Postmark, Mailgun, SendGrid, and any SMTP server. The REST API covers subscribers, broadcasts, segments, sequences, templates, opt-in forms, email servers, webhooks, and transactional email, with Node, PHP, Python, and Ruby SDKs. A CLI, MCP server, and dashboard Ask AI feature are included. Double opt-in and one-click unsubscribe are built in. Licenses have no subscriber, send, brand, or sending-domain limits, but are limited by server count. Installation requires a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04 server, a domain, and an email provider account.
