Open-source collaborative wiki and documentation platform
Docmost is a collaborative wiki and documentation platform offering real-time editing, spaces, permissions, and rich integrations. An open-source alternative to Confluence and Notion.

Docmost is a collaborative wiki and documentation platform built for teams that need powerful knowledge management without vendor lock-in. Designed as an open-source alternative to Confluence and Notion, it combines real-time collaboration with enterprise-grade features like granular permissions, spaces, and groups.
The platform supports advanced diagramming through Draw.io, Excalidraw, and Mermaid, alongside file attachments and embeds from popular tools like Airtable, Loom, and Miro. Page history tracking and full-text search ensure teams can find and recover information quickly. Built-in commenting facilitates discussion directly within documentation.
