Introduction

Orimora is a self-hosted team knowledge base built with SvelteKit. It combines a collaborative rich-text editor (TipTap / ProseMirror, Yjs), structured collections and tags, full-text search, comments, notifications (in-app / email / web push), passkey login, group-based permissions, encrypted off-site backups, and a versioned REST API + MCP surface for tools and automation.
