FormGopher is live
August 1, 2026
Formgopher is a simplified, self-hosted alternative to form backends like Web3Forms or Formspree: create an account, add a recipient, get an API key instantly, and drop a snippet into any static form. No account or email verification required on the receiving end. Here's everything in this first release.
Recipients & keys
- Add a recipient (a name and a destination email) and get a live API key immediately, no waiting on an email confirmation from the inbox that receives the mail.
- Lock a key to one or more domains with allowed origins, so it can't be reused elsewhere.
- Revoke a key any time from the dashboard without affecting your other recipients.
Drop-in forms
- Copy-paste snippet generator for both a plain HTML
<form>and afetch()-based version. - Plain HTML forms now work end to end with no JavaScript at all: submit a static form and Formgopher can redirect the visitor straight to a thank-you page on your own site, or fall back to a built-in confirmation page if you don't set one.
- Every notification email has its reply-to set to the visitor automatically, so replying to a lead is just hitting reply.
- Built-in honeypot spam trap on every submission.
Submission log
- Per-recipient log of every submission: delivered, failed, or blocked, with the failure reason and originating domain shown.
- Submissions are retained for 12 months, then purged automatically.
Warren plan
For higher volume and a few extra features, upgrade to Warren ($12/mo or $120/yr):
- Unlimited recipients and a much higher monthly submission cap.
- CC up to 4 additional addresses per recipient.
- File attachments up to 5MB, with a File Manager tab to browse and delete anything sent through your forms (stored files expire automatically after 90 days).
- Spam detection: submissions are flagged (or blocked outright, your choice per recipient) based on link count, keyword matches, and burst activity from the same visitor.
Account
- Full Stripe-backed billing, upgrade or downgrade any time.
- Delete your account and all associated data whenever you want.
- A help center for setup questions.
What's next
Curated email theme presets for notification emails are next up on the roadmap.
