Open Source Documentation Tool

Document Your Codebase Beautifully

All your technical documentation—rich text, smart code snippets, ERDs, architecture diagrams, and more—in your codebase.

No more scattered docs. No more context switching.

Quick Install

Install Doclific with a single command (requires Node.js and npm)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muellerluke/doclific/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Powerful Features

Everything you need to create beautiful, maintainable documentation

Notion-like Editor

Rich text editing experience with support for headings, lists, code blocks, and more.

AI Integration

Automatically adds documentation skills to Cursor and Claude AI assistants, enabling AI-powered documentation creation and editing.

Smart Code Snippets

Reference code snippets directly from your repository. Snippets automatically move with git changes, and if content changes inside a snippet, it requires review to keep documentation accurate.

ERD Diagramming

Create Entity Relationship Diagrams to visualize your database schema.

Whiteboarding

Document architecture and system designs with an interactive whiteboard for visual planning.

Fast & Local

Runs entirely on your machine - no external services required.
