Protogrid
What Protogrid is
Protogrid is a low-code platform for building business database and workflow applications. Its database system creates views and arranges data as an application is made. Apps can work offline, store relevant data locally, and synchronize after internet access returns. Applications include multilingual support, with options to add or edit translations. Features include relational data models, attachments, PDF output, JavaScript extensions, automated calculations, and a workflow engine. External systems can read and write application data through a JSON API; listed integrations also include OpenID Connect and Active Directory. Access controls can be set individually for apps, Protos, and Cards. The maker says it is hosted by Hetzner in Germany and describes automatic backups and card mutation history. Protogrid is free for up to two users with any number of applications. Evaluation is limited to 12 months and does not assure availability. Enterprise is listed at $100 a month per environment, with additional user charges.
