What is Wiki.js?

Wiki.js is a free, open-source wiki you run on your own server. Write pages in Markdown or a visual editor, organise them in a clear tree, search everything quickly and control who can see what, with optional sync to a Git repository so your documentation is always backed up.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Wiki.js does well

  • Clean, fast editor with Markdown support
  • Backs pages up to Git
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs a server and database to run
  • Version 3 is still in beta

Who Wiki.js is for

Teams that want one tidy home for their docs without paying for a hosted wiki.

Who can skip it

Solo users who only need a simple notes app.
