Businesses should own the software that makes them different.
We started Reflex to make building software more accessible to the people who understand the problem.
Our open-source Python framework is the foundation. Today, we help teams build and run applications around their own data and operations, with code they can inspect, change, and keep.

Based in San Francisco. Building alongside teams and an open-source community around the world.
Our story
An open foundation. More ways to build.
Alek Petuskey and Nikhil Rao started Reflex with a simple idea: building web apps in Python should feel effortless. The framework gives developers one language for the interface and the logic behind it.
That foundation now connects AI-assisted development, company data, and deployment. The goal stays the same: help people build useful software and keep control of what they create.

What we believe
How we build matters.
These principles connect the framework, the platform, and our work with customers.
Build in the open
Our Python framework is open source. Developers can inspect the implementation, report issues, and contribute to the tools they use.
Keep ownership with the team
An application should remain editable code. Teams can extend what they build and choose where it runs as their requirements change.
Stay close to the work
Useful software starts with the people who use it. We build alongside teams to understand their systems, review the details, and get applications into use.
Building with Reflex? Share what you are working on, ask questions, and learn alongside other developers.
