RefearnApp is a platform for building, tracking, and scaling referral programs, with affiliate management and payout handling built in. It is aimed at indie hackers, founders, and businesses that want to run their own referral and affiliate programs rather than paying for a hosted service. The README states it is "100% open-source under AGPL-3.0, and all features are free for self-hosted users." Built on Next.js (TypeScript).
