Forums made
Beautiful, fast, and free — Flarum is the open‑source forum software your community has been waiting for.
Flarum scales from small hobby communities to large enterprise forums. Customise every aspect through a rich ecosystem of extensions.
Discover extensions
Groups & permissions
Assign permissions to groups, control member access across categories, and keep things tidy with built-in moderation and flagging.
Styling & themes
Customise via admin settings, install themes, or write custom CSS that propagates across your entire forum automatically.
Powerful editor
Choose from lightweight Markdown editors to full WYSIWYG — Flarum supports both, meeting users wherever they are comfortable.
Notify & engage
In-browser notifications, email digests, and real-time websocket extensions keep your community active and coming back.
Extend endlessly
Hundreds of community-built extensions are available. Build your own, or commission custom development — the API makes it possible.

Built on Laravel with security best practices throughout. Regular core updates keep your community protected.
