# HeyForm

> HeyForm (9.0k stars, v3.0.4 Oct 2026) builds Typeform-style conversational forms with text, choice, picture, date and file inputs, conditional logic, URL redirects, custom themes and CSS, webhooks plus Zapier and Make, drop-off and completion analytics and CSV export. AGPL-3.0; the docs ask anyone selling a modified version to credit and link the original. Self-host with Docker Compose (app, MongoDB, KeyDB). The README lists no payment fields, PDF forms or e-signatures, and no paid self-host tier was found.
