[ oss program ]

Open source projects deserve great docs too.

If your code is public and your project is real, Quill is free. Forever. No "powered by" footer required, no usage cap on documents, no asterisk on the API reference. The contributors who write your code shouldn't have to write your docs too.

[ who qualifies ]

The bar is "real open source," not "famous open source."

We're not gating on stars or downloads. We just want to make sure the program reaches actual maintained projects, not abandoned forks or paid-product disguises.

[ what you get ]

The full Pro plan. None of the limits.

Unlimited everything

Unlimited repos in the workspace, unlimited generated articles, unlimited dev-doc pages, unlimited blog entries. No "first 100 pages are free, then it's $X per page." The whole point of OSS is no per-page math.

No vendor badge

Your docs site is your docs site. No "powered by Quill" footer, no hidden tracking, no required attribution. We're proud to support OSS — we don't need a billboard for it.

All the integrations

Custom domain. Webhook events. API access for CI integration. CDN-backed hosting on quilldocs.ai or your own domain. Same infra as our paid customers, same SLA.

Community spotlight

Accepted projects get featured in our OSS showcase, our launch announcements, and the example gallery. Real backlinks to your project, real distribution.

[ why we do this ]

Every commercial-software docs site was good once because someone who worked on open source built it that way. The least we can do is give the next generation of maintainers the same headroom.

[ how to apply ]

60 seconds. Approved within a week.

1

Send us the repo link.

Email oss@quilldocs.ai with the URL of your repo and a sentence on what the project does. That's it. No form, no scoring rubric.

2

We verify the criteria.

A human at Quill checks the license, the activity, the maintainer presence. We reply within five business days. Most approvals land within 48 hours.

3

Your workspace is upgraded.

Quill switches your plan to OSS and removes every limit. If you already had a Starter or Pro subscription running, we refund the unused portion. You don't need to ask.
