Hyvor Blogs is an open-source blogging platform for creating and managing a publication, available as hosted web software, an API, or self-hosted software. Blogs can use a custom domain, a sub-directory, or a headless frontend; custom domains include free TLS certificates. Users can select a theme or build one with HTML and CSS. Built-in SEO tools provide metadata, social cards, sitemaps, robots.txt, and link analysis, while posts can be scheduled, translated, and edited collaboratively in real time. Its AI agent can generate content, translate posts, and suggest improvements. Every plan includes Hyvor Talk for comments and Hyvor Post for newsletters, with monthly allowances that vary by plan. APIs and webhooks support developer use. Hyvor Blogs says users own their content and can export everything in one click, and that blogs have no ads or third-party trackers. Paid plans start at €5/user/mo, and a 14-day trial includes all features. A free self-hosted Open-Source plan is available under AGPLv3; self-hosting requires Docker, PostgreSQL, and an OIDC provider.
Who it is for
Hyvor Blogs suits solo bloggers, teams, or publications that want blog hosting, theme control, and built-in publishing tools. The self-hosted option may suit users able to provide Docker, PostgreSQL, and an OIDC provider.
