Docwell on Linux
Build from the open source or run the desktop build on Linux — same pay-once license, no telemetry.
Setup on Linux
Download the installer
Download the latest Docwell installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/knowledge-base-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Docwell runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Docwell is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Docwell on Linux — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/knowledge-base-mvp. $79 buys the signed installer, 1-click setup and updates.
Is the public site fast?
Yes — it's server-rendered plain HTML with no JS framework, which is also why the SEO story is so clean. Search is the only scripted part, and it's instant vanilla JS over FTS5.
