# Hogsend

> Hogsend is a source-available (ELv2), self-hosted lifecycle email engine.
> Journeys are plain TypeScript (defineJourney()) triggered by PostHog and
> product events, executed durably by Hatchet, and sent through your own
> Resend or Postmark account. It installs as a versioned npm framework
> (@hogsend/engine) into a scaffolded app you own. Free to self-host;
> no per-contact pricing.
> Scaffold: pnpm create hogsend@latest my-app --domain mysite.com
> then: cd my-app && hogsend dev — sends redirect to your own inbox
> until the sending domain verifies (test mode).
