Our story
Built by people who got tired of bad docs.
Hover was born out of frustration at our last company — three different doc tools, none of them consistent, all of them stale within a month. We rebuilt the workflow we wished we'd had.

What we believe
✦
Docs are product
If your API isn't documented, it doesn't exist. We treat doc tooling like the production system it is.
◐
Markdown forever
Your content stays in your git repo, in plain markdown, with full history. No proprietary export formats.
⌖
Search that works
Sub-100ms results across every page, with semantic + keyword fallback. Tuned per project.
Built in the open
Hover's core is open-source under the MIT license. Our paid product is the hosted, supported version with the analytics, search, and team features. Self-host all you want.
“Replaced three tools in a week. Our docs went from 60% complete to 95% in a month — engineers actually contribute now.”
