ApostropheCMS

ApostropheCMS is an open-source, full-stack content management system and framework built on Node.js and MongoDB. It combines a visual, in-context editing experience for content teams with a developer-focused architecture that can also run as a headless CMS.

Key Features

• In-context (on-page) editing so content changes are made directly on live pages
• Headless-ready architecture with APIs to power decoupled frontends and omnichannel delivery
• Modular, extensible system designed for customization via a full-stack JavaScript workflow
• Role-based permissions and access controls suitable for team and enterprise setups
• Flexible deployment options for running on your own infrastructure

Use Cases

• Build and manage marketing sites and content-heavy web properties with visual editing
• Run Apostrophe as a headless CMS for frontends built in React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, or other frameworks
• Create multi-team editorial workflows for organizations that need structured content management

ApostropheCMS is a strong fit when you want a modern JavaScript-based CMS that supports both editor-friendly visual editing and developer-driven headless implementations, without giving up a full-featured admin experience.
