FreeScout is the super lightweight free open source help desk and shared inbox written in PHP (Laravel framework). It is a self hosted clone of HelpScout. Now you can enjoy free Zendesk & Help Scout without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
One aspect of Freescout which we appreciate very much coming from a very top heavy and overbuilt system is how light Freescout is on server and browser resources. Freescout is the only open source helpdesk written in PHP and simple enough to administer for a small business. The other open source solutions are either hideous and ugly or so overwrought that installing and maintaining a working install would almost require hiring another server admin with specialised knowledge.
You guys are creating a really nice platform and its code is very well written… I really do like the whole thing. In fact being that I have used many ticket systems this one is seriously the most clean and easy to use as well as very versatile and fast with minimal upkeep and requirements.
