Welcome to OpenDocs¶

OpenDocs is the fastest way to turn a Markdown file into a shareable document.

One command, one link. No copy-pasting into Notion. No "let me export to PDF and email it to you." Keep docs private by default, or make them public when you want anyone with the link to read.

Why we built it¶

If you've been writing with an AI coding assistant lately, whether that's Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Codex, or something else, you already write a lot of Markdown. Your agent drafts design docs, RFCs, release notes, client specs, onboarding guides. All of it lands as .md files in your repo.

Then what?

• Paste it into a Google Doc and lose the formatting.
• Push it to GitHub, where only developers will find it.
• Export to PDF with a one-off script and wish it had your company's branding.
• Stick it in a Notion page, then learn that Notion's Markdown is a flavor, not a standard.

Sure, you can ask Claude, Codex, or another agent to turn Markdown into a PDF. But that spends valuable tokens on a menial formatting task. OpenDocs is meant to take that last mile off the agent's plate: publish the Markdown, generate the exports, apply the branding, and keep the link stable.

We kept hitting this. The tooling to author in Markdown got 10× better. The tooling to do something with the output didn't keep up. So we built OpenDocs: keep Markdown as your source of truth, get a clean URL in one command, hand out branded PDFs and DOCX files in one more.

What it does, in one paragraph¶

You install @opendocs.cc/cli, log in, and run opendocs publish my-doc.md. Ten seconds later you have a link like opendocs.cc/your-workspace/my-doc that renders your file with proper typography, syntax highlighting and "Download PDF / DOCX" buttons in the header. Invite teammates and they can do the same. Flip a doc to public and anyone on the internet can read it. Update it by re-running the command — OpenDocs keeps the URL stable and tracks the version history.

That's the product.

What this workspace is¶

You're looking at opendocs.cc/opendocs-hq right now — OpenDocs' own public workspace, written in OpenDocs, published with opendocs publish. Every doc here was drafted as Markdown, pushed through the CLI, and is now rendering via the same pipeline your content will use. Nothing special, nothing bespoke. Dogfood.

Five short docs total:

1. Welcome to OpenDocs (you're here) — what it is and why we built it.
2. Publish your first doc in 60 seconds — install, authenticate, ship.
3. Workspaces, teams, and sharing — the multiplayer layer.
4. Beautiful exports — PDF, DOCX, custom branding.
5. Pricing and CLI source code — what's free, what's paid, and what part of OpenDocs is open source today.

Read them in order — each one sets up the next. Or jump around using the search in the header (⌘K) or the Topics cloud in the sidebar.
