Double-click. No account. No credit card. Your computer securely becomes the server for your office
Or install via pip:
pip install celerp
celerp init # sets up the database and launches Celerp
Open http://localhost:8080 and enter the one-time setup code celerp init printed on the first sign-up page.
Your office can securely access the system at your IP address :8080.
No PostgreSQL to install: celerp init uses your existing PostgreSQL server if one is
running, and otherwise starts a self-contained bundled database — no sudo, no system
service. Point it at a specific server with celerp init --db-url postgresql+asyncpg://….
Running headless or under a process manager? Use celerp init --no-start to set up
without launching, then have your service run celerp start — see
Run as a service (systemd).
Updates install automatically overnight; the owner can turn that off from the update
card in the notifications panel.
What's inside
- Track inventory across locations, scan barcodes, print labels
- Send invoices, purchase orders, quotations, credit notes

How it works
Celerp runs on your machine and keeps its primary database local. Optional Connect features can relay remote access or send selected data to Celerp cloud services.
- No setup - the desktop app bundles Postgres, runs migrations on launch, opens in your browser
- No lock-in - your data stays in a standard Postgres database you control
- Teams - run as a local server, teammates connect over the LAN

Every business domain is a self-contained module. The full set ships with the download:

Build your own
"My vision for Celerp is that anyone with AI coding tools can describe what their business needs and get a module that imports right into the system."
Noah Severs, Founder
Every feature above is a module on one loader API, and you can build against the same API. A module is a Python package you drop into Celerp's modules/ folder; it adds its own tables, API routes, and UI pages, no fork or build step.
- celerp-module-template - a working example module you can run in about ten minutes, plus a lint script
- Build a module - the guide
- community-modules - a directory of community-built modules, and how to list yours
Architecture
- Event-sourced - every change is an immutable ledger entry, projections materialize queryable state
- Modular - each domain is a plugin with its own models, routes, and projections
- Python/FastAPI backend, FastHTML UI, embedded PostgreSQL
- SQLite in-memory for tests - no external dependencies to run the test suite
Development
git clone git@github.com:celerp/celerp.git
cd celerp
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
celerp init # creates DB, runs migrations, starts servers
celerp init boots a bundled PostgreSQL when no server is running, so no sudo and no
system Postgres are required. To develop against your own server instead, pass
--db-url postgresql+asyncpg://….
Open http://localhost:8080. Run tests with pytest tests/.
See CONTRIBUTING.md for environment variables, troubleshooting, and coding guidelines.
