The easiest way to build a Ruby on Rails admin panel
Fast to configure, easy to extend, and loved by your users.
Avo abstracts away the common parts of building admin panels, empowering engineers to work on the app's essential components. The result is a full-featured admin panel that works out of the box, ready to give to your end-users.
Easy to set up and get started
You can start with a familiar DSL to easily declare your resources and fields. Avo will take over and do the rest. It knows how to fetch the data from your database and display it for your users in a beautiful admin with the best user interface in this space.
I do not like DSLs. They always cause troubles in the long run. But this one seems "natural" I didn't even notice.
It knows what you need before you need it
After you build a few admin panels you start to see a pattern. You start to know what you need to create the best experience for your users. That's what Avo is. A collection of patterns accumulated over time and distilled into a beautiful package.

You need to add a page with something completely new. You've got it! Avo will generate a controller action and an erb file for you to customize.
Are you afraid of lock-in?
Extend Avo using regular Rails code and partials
We're developers too. We know how it feels to be "stuck" in a piece of software so we made Avo so you can't get stuck.
Whenever you need to create something custom, you have different levels where you can do that. At field, resource, or page level.
Use regular Rails code to add the functionality you think it's missing. From request, to controller, to partial.
