Highlighted initiative

Inspired by the Ukrainian tradition of Toloka, which symbolizes solidarity through hands-on aid, German and Ukrainian teams, with support from GIZ, launched the Tolocar project amid the Russian invasion. This initiative aims to aid emergency relief and foster a participatory innovation ecosystem for Ukraine's socio-economic revival.

But why Appropedia?

Vision-driven — Imagine a world where everyone can live rich and sustainable lives. Does this resonate with you or your organization? If so, we'd love to help you!
Free and open — Appropedia is and always will be free to access and with open licenses. Contact us for pricing regarding custom support!
Advanced tools — We've been helping document projects for more than 17 years. In the process we developed powerful yet simple to use tools and standards.
Accessibility — We strive to make content in Appropedia available to everyone. Appropedia can be accessed offline via Kiwix as well as plain prints and books, can be easily read aloud for visually-impaired (or busy) people, translated to many languages, accessed via APIs, and more!
No overhead — Start documenting right away without having to worry about developers, domains, hosting, setup, configuration or maintenance.
