Front components run untrusted third-party React in a Web Worker. That
worker previously shared the host origin, so it could reach
origin-scoped storage (the metadata-store IndexedDB, the
`twenty-sign-out` BroadcastChannel), cookies, and same-origin resources.
This runs the worker inside a `sandbox="allow-scripts"` (no
`allow-same-origin`) iframe, giving it an opaque origin where the
browser denies localStorage, cookies, IndexedDB, and BroadcastChannel
outright. The worker is kept inside the iframe (rather than a bare
iframe) so untrusted code always runs off the main thread; the
remote-dom render path is unchanged.
- **Transport:** host ↔ iframe ↔ worker over a re-transferred
`MessagePort` (`ThreadMessagePort`); a small bootstrap script is inlined
into the iframe via `srcdoc` (bundled at build time by a prebuild step)
and relays the port to the worker it spawns. Messages across the
boundary use a typed discriminated union with a single parse/guard.
- **Network:** under the opaque origin, direct fetches to the Twenty API
would be `Origin: null`, so the component source and SDK modules are
fetched through an allowlisted, credential-omitting `hostFetch` bridge
and blobbed inside the worker. The allowlist is single-sourced on the
host (http(s) origins only) and carried in the render context. The
bridge is mandatory (rendering fails closed if it is missing), refuses
redirects except for GET/HEAD to the known file-storage URLs, and caps
response body size.
- **SDK loading:** SDK client modules now load inside the worker through
the bridge, replacing the host-side SDK-blob state/effect/provider with
a pure `getSdkClientUrls` URL builder.
- **Isolation tests:** a unit test locks the sandbox attribute
(`allow-scripts`, never `allow-same-origin`); a browser test asserts the
worker actually gets an opaque origin with storage denied, probing
cookies by writing one rather than reading an empty jar.
Also adds a "List Companies" seed front component that queries workspace
data via the SDK client (exercising the bridge end-to-end),
single-sources the command-menu confirmation-modal result event name and
detail type in `twenty-shared` (previously a hand-synced duplicate), and
decomposes the renderer (bridge, sandbox, worker orchestration) into
small single-purpose utils with unit tests.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
