Modern CMS for developers, powered by GitHub

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

Start Writing

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.

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.

kobun.config.json 
"posts": {
    "format": "mdx",
    "label": "Posts",
    "schema": {
        "title": {
            "label": "Title",
            "type": "text"
        },
        "content": {
            "label": "Content",
            "type": "document"
        },
        ...
    }
}

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.

Get started

Drafts before you publish

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