Introduction

Dokly is a hosted documentation platform. You sign up, you create a project, you get a live docs site at a URL you control. You write pages in a visual block editor — no syntax to learn, no files to manage.

What Dokly does#

• Hosts your docs site. Every project ships at <your-name>.dokly.co the moment you create it. Pro plans add custom domains.
• Gives you a real editor. A block editor with a slash menu, drag handles for reordering, and inline AI actions. Not a Markdown text box.
• Ships components that look good by default. Callouts, tabs, steps, cards, API playgrounds — all styled, all dark-mode aware, all accessible.
• Handles search, SEO, and dark mode. Fuzzy search out of the box. Sitemaps, OG images, and llms.txt generated automatically.
• Imports OpenAPI specs. Drop in an openapi.yaml and get an interactive API reference for every endpoint.

What Dokly is not#

• Not a static site generator. There's no dokly build step, no CI integration, no _site/ folder. Editing is publishing.
• Not a CMS for marketing sites. Use Webflow or Framer for that. Dokly is purpose-built for technical documentation: SDK references, API docs, product manuals, internal wikis.
• Not a wiki for non-technical teams. Dokly is built for engineers and product teams. If your audience is sales ops, Notion is a better fit.
