The form backend for developers
Collect data from contact, feedback, and support forms. Get notified and respond to your users on time and on the go!
Focus on what's important
Simple and Flexible Forms API
DevMatter is not a form builder. It's an API. A very simple one.
Call our API, we store the response, and you can do whatever you want with it. Review it later, analyze it, add your own custom logic, and more. You are in full control of the UX and logic.
<form action="https://api.devmatter.app/forms/123" method="post">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Speed is the game
Get notified on-the-go
View responses on our minimalistic mobile app, and get instant push notifications when a new response is received.
Don't wrangle with email, Slack, or custom webhooks. Choose simplicity!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DevMatter?
DevMatter is a developer-first form backend and submission dashboard. It lets you easily create flexible forms, send data via API, view submissions, and get real-time mobile notifications — all without relying on rigid tools like Google Forms.
How is DevMatter different from Google Forms or Typeform?
DevMatter isn't a form builder like Google Forms or Typeform. DevMatter is designed for developers who want control. You can fully customize the front-end, integrate it into your product seamlessly, and send data via API — no locked-in UI or embedded branding.
Can I use my own frontend or framework?
Yes! DevMatter is frontend-agnostic. Whether you’re using React, Svelte, Vue, plain HTML, or something else, you can build your form however you like and just POST the data to our API.
How do I view form submissions?
You get access to a clean, real-time dashboard where you can view and search through all your form submissions. You can also export them if needed.
Will I get notified when someone submits a form?
Yes! You can enable real-time mobile push notifications with our mobile app to get alerts when someone submits a form.
Is DevMatter free?
DevMatter has a generous free plan that should get you started. For higher limits and features, consider our paid plans starting at $9/month.
Can I use DevMatter in production apps?
Absolutely. DevMatter is built to be reliable, secure, and production-ready from day one.
Can I self-host it?
Yes, you can self-host DevMatter using Docker or by building it from source. You can find instructions on how to do so in our documentation.
Is the API open-source?
Yes, the entire application, including the API, is open-source and available on GitHub.
What kind of data can I collect?

What happens to my data?
Your data is encrypted in transit using industry-standard encryption algorithms. It is stored securely on our servers until it is deleted by you.
