Headless CMS with Visual Editing
A headless CMS that empowers your entire digital team.
ApostropheCMS combines a modern open source headless CMS developer experience with intuitive, on-page visual editing tools for content creators and designers, so your entire digital team can do its best work.
Made for Teams
Visual editing meets modern engineering tools
Frontend freedom with a robust REST API
Use Apostrophe with Astro, React, Vue, or any stack you choose. Native mobile apps can access structured content through a flexible REST API and extend it with custom endpoints and modules.
Visual editing your team will actually use
Optionally edit content directly on the page with intuitive in-context tools. Skip the preview toggles and file-based workflows.
Astro support means you can use any frontend framework
React, Vue, Svelte and the rest at your fingertips with official support for Astro. Use the Apollo starter kit to jump-start your project with real content and structured data.
Custom content models with no plugins
Right out of the box, you can define flexible schemas that match your business logic. Keep structure and usability aligned without relying on third-party add-ons.
Built to extend and integrate
Adapt Apostrophe to your needs with a modular architecture, custom field types, and integrations with the tools your team already uses.
Multisite support that scales with you
Manage many sites and brands from a single backend. Easily localize, white-label, or sync content across projects.
