What Knit is

Knit is a knowledge base for teams who write things down together: one place for decisions, research, plans, and the notes worth keeping. You write pages, group them in folders, tag them, and find them again with search. The aim is less setup and less upkeep, so everyone can contribute without becoming an expert in the tool. Your edits stay in a personal draft until you publish. You can check the actual changes first, and on every plan, ask a teammate for a review. Home brings drafts and review requests together so you can find what needs your attention.

The pieces

• Site. Your Knit lives at its own address, such as your-team.knit.wiki. The site has a name, a plan, and the people you've invited.
• Pages. Everything you write is a page. Each page has a title, an optional icon, tags, and its content. A page can also be marked Early, On track, or Stable to show how settled it is.
• Folders. Folders group pages in the sidebar. They can hold other folders, up to four levels deep.
• Tags. Tags gather related pages from anywhere on the site.
• Workspaces. On Sweater and Quilt, a site can hold more than one workspace: a separate knowledge base with its own pages, tags, and people. Until you add one, you won't see workspaces at all. See Workspaces.

Example

A six-person design studio might set up Knit like this:

• Site: northstar.knit.wiki, with everyone in the studio invited.
• Folders: Handbook, Clients, and Decisions.
• Pages: Onboarding checklist in Handbook; one page per client project in Clients.
• Tags: Policy on every rule people must follow, wherever the page sits.

Page state and people

Early, On track, and Stable describe how settled the team considers a page. Editors choose the stage; Knit does not change it automatically. A published page can still be Early, and a Stable page can have a new draft. The stage does not certify that every fact is correct.

Select the people below a page’s title to open Page people. Created by records who created it. Looked after by names the people caring for it now. Editors can add workspace members or remove them; a page can have several people looking after it, or none. This does not change editing permissions. With nobody selected to look after it, the byline still shows who created the page. That fallback does not add them to Looked after by.

Review and history answer different questions: which exact changes someone approved, and who contributed to a version. Recorded assistant contributions are identified in page history.

Human review can include checking accuracy. Freshness checks and reminders are planned: record who confirmed a published page is still current, even without edits, and optionally choose when to check again. An explicit check while approving publication would record that judgment too; ordinary approval alone does not schedule a recheck.

Knit Assistant can help write and edit drafts on every plan. You choose what to publish or send for human review. Having an assistant and recording its contributions are separate capabilities.

Drafts and publishing

Your edits save automatically as a draft. When the page is ready, select Publish. Each publish is kept in the page's history, so you can see what changed and bring back an earlier version. See Publish a page.

During the beta

For a concrete list of Knit’s capabilities, open Features. Each feature has a focused preview and links to its guide. Choose a category to browse writing, organization, publishing, or review. The roadmap tab distinguishes planned work, including shared writing guides, from what you can use today. Bulk review is available in Home: inspect changes across drafts, then publish or approve eligible work. Own-draft inspection and publishing are on all plans, including grouped review and teammate approval. See Home.

Choosing a home for your team’s docs? Compare Knit with other tools for short summaries and a feature comparison. Detailed definitions, plan limits and sources are collapsed below it. A numbered reference opens the relevant note; hovering or focusing a chip or reference shows the same details.

Knit is in an invitation-only beta. You sign in with a Google account, and all plans are free while the beta lasts. See Plans.
