Ship your SaaS in days, not months.
You've got the idea. The vision. Maybe even the first paying customer in your head.
But then reality hits:
- Setting up auth takes a week
- Database schemas become a rabbit hole
- "Just one more config file" turns into three
- That beautiful dashboard you imagined? Still a Figma mockup
You're a builder, not a boilerplate wrangler.
That's where Ownly comes in.
Ownly is a production-ready SaaS foundation that handles the boring stuff so you can focus on what matters: your product.
git clone && pnpm install && pnpm devThat's it. You're building.
| Layer | Technology | Why It's Here |
|---|---|---|
| Framework | Next.js 14 (App Router) | The industry standard |
| API | tRPC | End-to-end TypeScript, zero codegen |
| Database | Prisma + PostgreSQL | Type-safe queries, easy migrations |
| Auth | Clerk | Social login, MFA, passkeys—out of the box |
| Styling | Tailwind + shadcn/ui | Beautiful, accessible, customizable |
| Payments | Stripe-ready | Webhook handlers included |
| Monorepo | Turborepo | Fast builds, shared packages |
Not just buttons and inputs. Real components:
- Data tables with sorting and filtering
- Multi-step forms with validation
- Dashboard layouts with responsive sidebars
- Modal dialogs, dropdowns, command palettes
- Accordions, tooltips, sheets, and more
The schema you'd build anyway—already done:
- Users with profiles and preferences
- Teams and memberships
- Subscriptions and billing
- Invoices and payments
- Audit logs
Demo mode for development. Clerk for production. Switch with one env variable.
