# Mergin Community Edition
The Mergin (opens new window) is a great companion to Mergin Maps Input as it provides seamless synchronisation of data between your phone/tablet, Mergin service and QGIS Desktop.
The good news is that Mergin CE is licensed as open source software and therefore it is possible to do your custom deployments.
# GitHub
If you are interested in deploying Mergin CE, you can start by going to MerginMaps/mergin (opens new window) on GitHub and read instructions how to deploy it for your platform.
