Est. October 2026 · Apache-2.0
OccupySaaS is a protest movement written in code. Laid-off engineers, armed with AI and public documentation, are building clean-room, open-source, drop-in replacements for the platforms that rent our own industry back to us — one seat at a time.

We are the
1,000,000
The grievances
The software built
by the 99% belongs
to the 99%.
In 2011, Occupy Wall Street asked who the economy was really working for. In 2026 we're asking the same question about the cloud. The tools every company runs on are now toll booths — and the people who built them were shown the door.
Per-seat pricing is a tax on growth
Every hire, every intern, every contractor — another line item. Infrastructure shouldn't charge rent by the head.
Lock-in is not a feature
Proprietary APIs, export walls and surprise price hikes keep customers captive. Compatible open alternatives set them free.
They cut us. We commit.
A million engineers were let go while the platforms kept growing. We still know how to ship. Now we ship it in the open.
The method
Clean room.
AI rebuild.
Drop-in.
We don't leak, decompile or copy anyone's code. Every project is rebuilt from public documentation and open standards, with AI doing the heavy lifting on the build side of a strict firewall — then proven compatible against the vendors' own public SDKs.
-
Read the public record
Public API references, open standards (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, REST) and published SDK behaviour become a written specification. Nothing confidential, nothing leaked, nothing from former employers.
-
Raise the firewall
Spec writers and builders stay separated. Each repo carries a
CLEAN_ROOM.mdpolicy, and provenance is recorded for every fixture and reference. -
Rebuild with AI
AI agents implement from the spec alone — contracts first (
openapi.yaml), then code, then tests — under human review at every merge. -
Prove compatibility
A compatibility laboratory runs the vendors' own public client SDKs against our server. If your existing code doesn't work unchanged, it isn't done.
-
Release it to everyone
Apache-2.0. Self-hostable. Pluggable storage. No telemetry you didn't ask for, and no seat counter.

First releases
Two towers
occupied.
Identity and CRM: the two subscriptions almost every company pays for and almost nobody loves. Both are early, both are public, and both welcome contributors today.

ZeroAuthy
Replaces
Auth0
A self-hostable identity server that speaks the Auth0 Authentication API. Point an existing Auth0 SDK at a ZeroAuthy tenant domain and it works with no code changes.
- OIDC discovery, JWKS & multi-tenant domains
- Hosted login, authorization code + PKCE
client_credentials, rotating refresh tokens, revoke & logout- Verified with auth0-spa-js, auth0-react & nextjs-auth0

Replaces
Salesforce
A free, open-source Salesforce replacement with a tenant-isolated Go/PostgreSQL core, a Vue record editor, and a compatibility laboratory that checks behaviour against Salesforce's public API contract.
- Persistent Account & Contact CRUD

The occupation map
Who's next?
Every category on this board is a monthly invoice somewhere. The movement picks the next target in public — bring a spec, a use case, or a grudge.
● Occupied
Identity & Auth
ZeroAuthy — Auth0-compatible login, tokens and tenants.
● Occupied
CRM
SalesCompel — Salesforce-compatible records and REST API.
○ Proposed
Docs & Wikis
Team knowledge bases that don't lock your writing behind a seat licence.
○ Proposed
Issue Tracking
Tickets, sprints and boards with a compatible API for existing integrations.
○ Proposed
Feature Flags
SDK-compatible flag evaluation you can run next to your own services.
○ Proposed
Observability
Logs, metrics and traces without per-gigabyte ransom notes.
○ Proposed
Customer Support
Help desk, inbox and knowledge base, priced at zero agents.

Lineage
From Zuccotti Park
to git push.
Occupy Wall Street began on 17 September 2011 in Zuccotti Park, New York City, with a simple frame: the 1% and the 99%. It had no leaders, made decisions in open assemblies, and spread to hundreds of cities.
OccupySaaS borrows that spirit and swaps tents for terminals. No marches, no property damage — just working software, published under an open licence, that anyone can run.
“We are the 99%.”

SalesCompel joins the occupation
The second tower. More to come — decided in the open.
Join
Occupy everything.
You don't need permission, a badge or a manager. You need a laptop and an afternoon.

Pick an open issue, follow the clean-room policy, open a pull request.
Self-host it
Run a release against your real SDKs and tell us exactly where it breaks.
Write specs
Turn public docs into precise, testable specifications for the builders.
Make noise
Star the repos, share the site, and tell your CFO what you're paying per seat.
Questions
Fair questions.
Is this legal?
Clean-room reimplementation is a long-established way to build compatible software: you work only from public information and independently write your own code. Interoperating with an API is not the same as copying a product. Each project publishes its clean-room policy and source provenance so anyone can check the work. This page isn't legal advice; if you're adopting a project for a business, talk to your own counsel.
Are you affiliated with Auth0, Okta or Salesforce?
No. OccupySaaS and its projects are independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any vendor named on this site. Product names are used only to describe compatibility.
Can former employees of those companies contribute?
Yes, but never with confidential knowledge from a former employer. Contributors work only from public
material, and anyone with relevant inside knowledge should stay on the public-spec side of the firewall
or sit that project out. When in doubt, read the project's CLEAN_ROOM.md and ask first.
Why use AI to build it?
Because the giants had thousands of engineers and we have a movement. AI agents let a small group turn a precise spec into working code quickly. Humans write the specs, review every change, and own the result, and compatibility tests against real SDKs decide what counts as done.
Why Go?
Portability. A Go project compiles to a single self-contained binary, so self-hosting means dropping one file onto a server or into a Docker or Podman image — no installer, no runtime to set up, no tree of shared libraries to keep in sync. The same toolchain cross-compiles for Linux, macOS, Windows, x86 and ARM, and the result fits in a minimal container image. If you're leaving a SaaS vendor, the replacement should be this easy to carry.
Why not Rust?
Nothing is wrong with Rust, and we're not against it. Go was picked for the first projects because it makes the one-file, container-friendly drop-in the default with very little build setup. Rust can get there too; Go just gets there more simply for the kind of servers we're building.
Rust recreations of these projects are welcome — they just haven't been made yet. The specs, API contracts and compatibility tests are language-neutral, so a Rust port can be checked against the same SDKs. If you want to start one, open an issue and say which project.
Is it production-ready?
Not yet. Both first projects are early and say so plainly in their READMEs, along with exactly which features work today. Try them, break them, and file issues.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Every project is released under the Apache License 2.0. Run it, fork it, sell services around it. The only thing we ask is that you contribute back what you can.
