Knowledge base and team wiki

Wikinest

A team wiki: spaces, page trees, versions, comments and permissions per space.

Launch Wikinest → Tutorials

Wikinest is a knowledge base for you or your team. Write pages in Markdown with a toolbar and live preview — panels, tables, task lists, code, status lozenges and page links — and keep them in spaces with a page tree, versions you can compare and restore, labels, templates and search. Work alone in your browser, or share a space in a Teamspaces workspace with admins, editors, commenters, readers and guests, inline comments and live updates.

Free · runs in your browser · no sign-up · Version 1.0.0

Features

  • Spaces and page trees

    Group pages into spaces with a home page and nested child pages. Drag pages to reorder them, or move them by keyboard.

  • Markdown with a toolbar

    Write Markdown with a live preview, or use the toolbar for headings, lists, tables, code, panels, task lists and expand sections.

  • Panels, status and macros

    Info, success, warning and error panels, status lozenges, dates, mentions, a table of contents and a list of child pages.

  • Links between pages

    Type [[ and pick a page title. Links to pages that do not exist yet show up so you can create them in one click.

  • Versions, diff and restore

    Every publish keeps a version. Compare any two side by side with the changed words marked, and restore an older one.

  • Page and inline comments

    Select text in a page to comment on exactly that passage, or discuss the whole page below it.

  • Permissions per space

    In a shared workspace, make people space admins, editors, commenters or readers, and decide what guests may see.

  • Live updates and merging

    See when a teammate publishes a newer version while you edit, compare it and merge both versions.

  • Page templates

    Meeting notes, how-to guide, decision record, retrospective, product requirements, runbook and onboarding plan.

  • Search, labels and favourites

    Search across spaces, filter by label, star favourite pages and come back to recently viewed ones.

  • Import Markdown and Confluence

    Bring in Markdown files or folders as ZIP, or a Confluence HTML export with its page tree, panels and images.

  • Markdown, HTML and PDF

    Export a page or a whole space as Markdown, as one HTML file with images, or as a PDF.

  • Boards, issues and reports

    Show Laneboard boards, Trackwell issues and Timeslice reports in a page as read-only cards from their links.

  • Read-only share links

    Share one page as a link that holds a snapshot of it. Nothing goes through our server.

  • Private by default

    Without an account, everything stays in this browser. Page statistics are counted only on your device.

  • API and MCP tools

    Three tools turn wiki Markdown into HTML, compare page versions and convert Confluence exports for scripts and AI agents.

Templates

Start from a ready-made project and change it to fit.

Built-in tools

Wikinest uses these tools. Each one also has its own page and works on its own, in the browser, through the JSON API and through MCP.

  • Wikinest Markdown to HTML Wikinest engineTurn wiki Markdown with panels, status lozenges and a table of contents into safe HTML.
  • Wikinest Page Diff Wikinest engineCompare two versions of a page: added, removed and changed lines plus a unified diff.
  • Wikinest Confluence Import Wikinest engineConvert a Confluence HTML export into Wikinest pages in Markdown with the page tree.

For AI agents

Wikinest runs on a deterministic engine. The same functions are available as tools with a JSON API and MCP, so scripts and AI agents get exactly the results the app shows.

  • Wikinest Markdown to HTML – Turn wiki Markdown with panels, status lozenges and a table of contents into safe HTML.

Frequently asked questions

Where are my pages stored?

Without an account, in this browser’s storage (IndexedDB) on this device. Save a project file or back it up with Bundlekeep. Spaces you share to a workspace are stored on the server for the people in that workspace.

How do permissions work?

A shared space belongs to a Teamspaces workspace. Workspace owners and admins can always manage it. In Space permissions you choose what members, viewers and guests may do by default, and you can make single people space admins, editors, commenters, readers or give them no access. Wikinest writes these rules onto every page of the space.

What happens when two people edit the same page?

Each page is saved as a whole. When a teammate publishes while you edit, Wikinest tells you at once. On publishing you can compare both versions and merge them: changes in different places are combined, changes to the same lines are marked so you can pick.

How do I move pages without a mouse?

Focus a page in the tree. Alt plus the arrow keys moves it up or down or makes it a child of the page above (right) or moves it out one level (left). Or press Space, use the arrow keys and press Space again to drop it. Move or copy… also moves pages to another space.

Can I bring my Confluence pages over?

Yes. In Confluence export the space as HTML, then choose Import → Confluence export in Wikinest and pick the ZIP. Pages, the page tree, panels, code, tables, status lozenges, task lists and images come along; the importer tells you what it could not map.

What does a share link contain?

A read-only copy of one page, compressed into the part of the link after #. Browsers never send that part to a server. Comments and images stay out.

Limitations

What Wikinest does not do (yet):

  • Pages are edited as a whole: two people typing in the same page at the same time are merged when publishing, not character by character.
  • Guests and viewers cannot create pages in shared spaces (Teamspaces lets only members, admins and owners create documents); permissions apply to a whole space, not to single pages.
  • Page statistics (views) are counted only in your own browser; there is no central analytics.
  • Markdown exports leave images out; HTML exports embed them. PDF exports show images as their description.
  • Confluence imports skip page history, comments, Jira macros, page properties reports and other macros without a Wikinest equivalent (their text is kept).
  • Very long share links (big pages) may not fit in every chat app; send an HTML export instead.
