Everything you need to manage content

A batteries-included CMS platform built for developers who want power and ownership.

GROQ Queries

Full GROQ query language with a custom parser that compiles to optimised PostgreSQL — no vendor lock-in, just powerful queries.

Content Studio

Three-panel editor with real-time collaboration, draft/publish workflows, revision history, and scheduled publishing.

Drop-in SDK

API-compatible with @sanity/client. Switch your import and keep your existing queries, projections, and data-fetching code.

Asset Pipeline

On-the-fly image transforms powered by Sharp. Resize, crop, format-convert, and serve optimised assets from S3 or local storage.

Real-time

WebSocket-powered presence indicators and live queries. See who is editing what, and get instant content updates across clients.

Data Ownership

Your data, your rules. Full control over your content with no vendor lock-in. Export anytime, no strings attached.

Up and running in three steps

From zero to a fully operational CMS in under five minutes.

01

Define your schemas

Use Sanity-compatible defineType and defineField helpers to describe your content models. Migrate existing Sanity schemas with zero changes.

02

Edit in the Studio

Open the Content Studio — a beautiful three-panel editor with inline validation, rich-text editing, image uploads, and draft previews.

03

Query with GROQ

Fetch content using the GROQ query language you already know. The drop-in SDK means your front-end code stays exactly the same.
