Mybase Server Edition for Linux/macOS/Windows

Mybase is an intuitive knowledge base management software that allows entry of unstructured text, webpages, images, documents, emails and even arbitrary files without regard to length or format. Unlike traditional database systems, Mybase accepts text input like a word processor, all information is compressed with an integrated zip utility and stored in the tree structured outline form.

Mybase is now available in two editions, the desktop edition and the server edition. The desktop edition is aimed to provide tools of efficiency and versatility for increasing personal productivity significantly, while the server edition enables databases multi-user collaborative and accessible to co-workers over network by using a modern web browser at the client side.

Mybase Server is a standalone server program running on Linux/macOS/Windows systems without complicated configurations, and a modern web browser (e.g. Chrome/FireFox/Safari/Edge) is used at client side to access databases centralized on the server with no additional software tools required.
