Open source
Editbar's self-hosted core — the widget, the server, the storage — is open source under the MIT license. No artificially crippled features, no usage cap, no "free tier" that quietly expires.
A floating admin bar, a single shared token, flat-file storage, and the same client-side widget every hosted plan ships. Plain text editing, any framework.
Managed multi-tenant infrastructure, real per-account login, rich content, draft/publish with version history, and the submit → review → approve workflow. Additions, not restrictions.
The core is designed to be embedded, not just self-hosted standalone — we're integrating it directly into our own CMS product. If you're building something and want inline text editing as a feature, start from the same code.
EDIT_TOKEN environment variable, no database to provision.data-edit-id — see the docs.That's the entire self-hosted footprint: no accounts system, no billing, nothing hosted plans add. It's meant to stay that simple.
MIT-licensed, publicly readable, no CLA required to contribute. The hosted product is a separate, additive layer in the same repository family — never a fork with features removed.
