The impetus for developing Kexi came from a noticeable lack of applications having the features of LibreOffice Base, Microsoft Access, FoxPro, Oracle Forms or FileMaker while at the same time being powerful, inexpensive, open-standards-driven and sufficiently portable.
Kexi works natively under Linux/Unix (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris) and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Older versions were available for Mac OS X (using Homebrew). macOS version was not released but can be compiled.
Kexi application and its frameworks are available under the LGPL. User and developer documentation is available under the GFDL.[2]
