A Base44 alternative that gives you the code

If you like Base44 but need to own a real, portable codebase, Mortar is the developer-focused alternative: a real Django app with full source export and no platform lock-in.

What changes when you switch

✓You get a real Django project instead of a platform-bound app.
✓You own the code: one-click full source export, runs anywhere, no lock-in.
✓A real relational database (SQLite in preview, Postgres-ready), not a hosted black box.
✓Built for developers and agencies who want to keep, read and extend the code.
