Vision

Kurrier aims to become a complete open-source communications platform built on open standards.

Today's communication tools are increasingly fragmented across proprietary APIs and closed ecosystems. Kurrier's goal is to provide a modern, self-hostable alternative that gives individuals and organizations full ownership of their communication infrastructure.

Rather than inventing new proprietary protocols, Kurrier embraces existing open standards wherever possible.

Principles

  • Open source first
  • Self-hostable
  • Privacy by default
  • Interoperability over vendor lock-in
  • Standards over proprietary APIs
  • Modular architecture
  • Developer friendly

What Kurrier provides today

  • Modern email platform
  • Shared inboxes
  • SMTP
  • IMAP
  • Gmail API
  • SES
  • Mailgun
  • Postmark
  • SendGrid
  • Resend
  • Calendars
  • Contacts
  • Drive
  • REST APIs

Where we're heading

Kurrier is evolving into an interoperable communications platform with support for open standards including:

  • JMAP
  • CalDAV
  • CardDAV
  • WebDAV
  • Maildir
  • mbox
  • ICS
  • vCard
  • OpenPGP
  • Sieve

Our long-term goal is to allow users to freely choose their infrastructure, clients and providers without being locked into proprietary ecosystems.
