What is Docmost?
Docmost is a free, open-source, self-hosted wiki and documentation tool for teams. Write pages together in real time, organise them into spaces with groups and permissions, draw diagrams with Draw.io, Excalidraw or Mermaid, embed tools like Miro and Loom, and roll back changes with full page history.
