Modern CMS for developers, powered by GitHub

An awesome editor on top of a GitHub repo. Save it as Markdown. Works with any framework.

Content in your repo. Editing in your browser.

Connect a GitHub repo, write a config file, start publishing. Kobun is the CMS that gets out of your way.

A real writing experience

Rich text, Markdown shortcuts, and the formatting niceties you actually want — without the bloat.

Drag-and-drop media

Upload images and files straight from the editor. They land in your repo automatically.

Tailored to your content

Define your collections and fields once. Kobun generates a fitting editor for each content type.

Up and running in minutes

Connect a repo, drop in a config file, and start publishing. No databases, no infrastructure to manage.

Works with any framework

Astro, Next.js, Hugo, or your own static site generator — if it reads Markdown, it works with Kobun.

Your content, your repo

No vendor database. No export headaches. Everything lives in a GitHub repo you own and control.

Configuration as code

Define your collections, fields, and content types in a single config file. Versioned in Git like everything else.

Self-host or use the cloud

Run Kobun on your own infrastructure for total control, or skip the ops with the hosted version. Same product, your call.

Built for the way developers work

Kobun fits into your stack instead of replacing it. Bring your own framework and hosting — we'll handle the content.

Drafts before you publish

Save in-progress work without shipping it. Polish until it's ready, then publish with one click.

Bring your existing repo

Already have content in Git? Point Kobun at it and start editing immediately — no migration required.

Full edit history

Every save is a Git commit. Revisit any prior version of any post, anytime.

Strong content types

Define schemas with text, number, boolean, date, image, references, and more. Catch errors before they ship.

Keyboard-driven editing

Shortcuts for everything that matters. Stay in flow, mouse optional.

Host wherever you want

Deploy to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, GitHub Pages — Kobun doesn't care where your site lives.

Get updates without the noise

Occasional emails about new features, releases, and what we're working on. No marketing fluff, no daily digests.
