About ApostropheCMS
ApostropheCMS is an open source content management system built on Node.js. Editors work directly on the live page, and developers keep control of the frontend stack they prefer.
What it does
ApostropheCMS gives teams the core parts of a content platform, including editing, workflow, permissions, localization, media and APIs. It can run as a traditional CMS or as a headless one. Developers can pair it with Astro or use the built-in JSX templates, and they can connect it to their own systems.
Key features
- Edit content directly on the live page
- Use as a traditional or headless CMS
- Pair with Astro or built-in JSX templates
- Built-in editing, workflow and permissions
- Show live data from your own systems in widgets
Who it's for
JavaScript teams that want a CMS they can extend without fighting the core. It also suits content editors who want to change pages without touching code.
Pricing and good to know
The project is open source, so the software itself costs nothing to use. The site also offers a live demo of the editing interface. Hosting, integrations and the frontend are your responsibility, which gives you flexibility but also some setup work.
Highlights
- Edit pages in place on the live site
