The open-source Mintlify alternative
Transform your Markdown into stunning documentation sites in seconds. Powered by Astro. No config needed. Just write and ship.
"Documentation shouldn't cost $150/month. It shouldn't require a PhD in static site generators. It should just work."
— Design principle
Most documentation tools force you to choose between simplicity and power. Hosted platforms are easy but expensive. Custom builds are flexible but time-consuming.
Lito refuses this false dichotomy. Start with Markdown and a simple JSON config. Add MDX components when you need them. Eject to full Astro when you're ready for complete control. Progressive complexity, on your terms.
Self-hosted. Open source. Free forever.
Point Lito at your Markdown files. Run one command. Your documentation site is live. No configuration required.
Built on Astro's cutting-edge architecture. Ship pure HTML and CSS. 100 Lighthouse scores. Add interactive islands only when you need them.
Tabs, accordions, callouts, cards, code groups, API endpoints, and more. All auto-imported and ready to use in your MDX files.
Generate beautiful API documentation from your OpenAPI specs. Automatic endpoint pages. Interactive request builders. Type-safe examples.
Powered by Pagefind. Instant, offline-capable search across all your docs. No external services. No API keys. Just works.
