# → Submit response with server-evaluated conditional branching

Stop wrestling with proprietary form builders that hold your submissions hostage. Build fast, scale infinitely, and own your stack.
Multi-Step Dynamic Wizards
Break friction with step-by-step forms. Real-time progress tracking, field upserts, and clean payload schemas.
Server-Evaluated Conditional Logic
Show, hide, or mandate fields dynamically. Rules evaluate on the server, preventing tampering and frontend bloat.
Agentic & API-First (OpenAPI 3.1)
Complete REST API contract and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for AI agents to discover schemas and submit workflows autonomously.
100% Data Sovereignty
Keep sensitive respondent PII inside your own infrastructure. Zero third-party tracker scripts. GDPR and HIPAA compliant by default.
$0 Platform Fees
No arbitrary tier gates, seat limits, or submission charges. Run unlimited forms with unlimited responses on your existing VPS.
Framework-Agnostic Starter Kits
Drop-in SDKs and ready-to-run kits for React + Vite, Vue 3, Next.js, and Laravel Livewire with shared rendering contracts.
