We build open-source tools for & the people who make, ship, ship again.

Hitosea (海豚有海) is a studio of three bets and one stubborn belief — that the most durable software is built alongside its community. From team collaboration to agentic coding to vertical AI, our suite is open at the core and production-grade at the edges.

09 featured products · 03 groups · 01 engine

Three bets, one engine.

We cluster our products into three coherent groups — each addressing a distinct layer of modern work — and sharpen every one with the same platform team.

The best software is built with, not behind, its community.

Every Hitosea product ships with a permissive license, a public roadmap, and a steady cadence of changelogs. When you adopt Hitosea, you inherit a codebase — and a community that reviews it every day.

We take pull requests like we take bug reports: seriously, quickly, and with a reply from a human engineer. No gatekeepers, no enterprise-edition traps.

04 principles · non-negotiable

Four principles we refuse to compromise on.

We optimize for a specific kind of customer: engineering-led teams that value transparency, self-hostability, and the right to leave.

I.

Fully Open Source

Every product is public on GitHub under a permissive license. Fork it, audit it, self-host it — no permission required, no enterprise-edition gotchas.

№ 01 / 04
II.

Enterprise Ready

SSO, audit logs, and on-prem deployments ship from day one — serving finance, government, and regulated industries with production-grade defaults.

№ 02 / 04
III.

A Product Suite

One design language, one identity layer. Adopt one to start — integrate the rest when you are ready. No forced platforms.

№ 03 / 04
IV.

Developer First

Everything has an API, a CLI, and a webhook. We sweat the DX so your teams spend their time shipping — not configuring vendor dashboards.
