What it does

Own your identity layer. Self-host open-source auth—OAuth2, OIDC, SAML SSO, SCIM, passkeys, MFA, OpenFGA—with permission-aware AI on your own data.

The open-source auth platform you run yourself—authentication, fine-grained authorization, and permission-aware AI, with every user in your own database . Drop the Authorizer component into any app — SaaS, dev tool, e-commerce, AI product. The same login experience, always under your control. Hosted identity platforms give you dashboards, enterprise SSO marketplaces, and batteries-included UI—in exchange for running your most sensitive infrastructure on someone else's servers and paying a per-seat auth tax as you grow. Authorizer is a different tradeoff: open source and self-hosted so authentication runs where you run your product—and user records stay in your database. A category-level…from authorizer.dev

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
