Your server, your data. MIT licensed, free forever.

Description

Why Webstudio Docs?

We're a web agency that got tired of paying $65/month per site for GitBook. So we built our own docs platform and open-sourced it.

4 files. No database. No build process. Upload index.php, api.php, auth.php, and .htaccess to any PHP 7.4+ hosting — and you have a full documentation platform.

Features

  • Block editor with 14 content types — headings, code with syntax highlighting (200+ languages), tables, cards, timeline, callouts, collapsible sections, images, video embeds, and more
  • Slash commands — type / to search and insert any block, just like Notion
  • Full-text search — Ctrl+K searches titles, subtitles, and page content
  • Dark & light mode, custom accent colors, logo, favicon, cover images with gradients
  • Spaces & tree navigation — pages, subpages, sections, drag & drop reordering
  • Drag & drop blocks with visual drop indicator + undo/redo
  • Auto-generated OG images — dynamic social sharing cards with your brand colors
  • Clean URLs?page=installation not ?page=_x7f2k9
  • Secure — bcrypt passwords, rate limiting, setup wizard, .htaccess protection
  • Mobile responsive — works on phones and tablets
  • i18n ready — English & Slovak built-in, easy to add more
  • Page templates — Blank, Documentation, Changelog, API Reference, Tutorial, FAQ

Roadmap

Open source (free): Multi-user support, markdown import/export, page versioning, more languages.

Premium (coming soon): AI-powered writing tools, integrations, analytics, and more. One-time purchase, no monthly fees. Every purchase funds continued development of the free version.
