Better answers deserve
a better starting point.

Knowledgebase.dev is a free resource from the people building HelpCenter.io.

Why this exists

A useful knowledge base takes more than a homepage. It takes clear categories, accurate articles, a way to find an answer, and someone responsible for keeping it current. We built Compass to give teams a practical head start on all four.

The template and toolkit are aimed at product and operations teams running customer help centers, agencies building for clients, and teams moving their content from another platform.

The free resource and the product

Compass is an open-source static template. You can use, modify, and distribute it under the included GPL-3.0 license. The source is available on GitHub.

HelpCenter.io is our paid, managed product. It provides editing, hosting, multilingual content, analytics, and AI help grounded in your articles. If those are useful to your team, try it free for 14 days. The kit is useful on its own.

A note about the examples

Acme is a fictional product used to demonstrate the template. Its sample articles are examples of structure and writing, not instructions for your product. Verify and replace them before publishing.
