Skemik
Ready-made fields, no Date2
Every field has its schema.org name and its type before you add it. There are no custom types, so the next tool still understands your data.
Nothing to type, nothing to invent.
Skemik 1.0 is out
The database that ships its own data model.
Like a headless CMS or a spreadsheet database, only with schema.org as its ready-made model: thirty types, every field named and typed before you start. Website, shop and assistant read and write the same data at one address.
- 30
- types from schema.org
- 4
- formats at one address
- 1
- folder for all data
- 0
- plugins, package managers, build steps
Model
You model nothing. The shape of your data is already set.
Course, order, person: almost everything you keep has a known form. Skemik comes with it, and because the words are schema.org's, shop, accounting and assistant all mean the same thing by author.

Ready-made fields, no
Everything linked, both ways
The same person is author, customer and attendee. Lists replace custom collections, terms replace dropdowns, and a link can know something: “CTO, 2021–2024”.
Always see what depends on it.
Multilingual out of the box
An article has a record per language, each with its own status; a person is one record with words per language. The twelfth language costs as little as the second.
Each language with a status of its own.
Interface
A finished program, not a construction kit.
Since every type is known, the interface is there before the first record exists. You only choose which fields a collection carries and which go public. Three roles, login by code, six languages.
Five views
List, table, cards, grid, timeline: every collection does all five, because the type says what is a date and what is an image. Each view edits in place, many records at once too.
Ticked, and one status for all.
Publish per field
The city goes out, the street stays in. Four states from draft to archived, per language for texts. Scheduled records appear and ended ones disappear on their own.
What goes out is marked on the field.
What needs a look, in the overview
Links to nowhere, missing required fields, old drafts, a key that expires next month, a backup that failed: Skemik looks for these on its own.
Before anyone notices.
Address
What goes in comes back out: as a table, as text, as an API.
The same collection as jsonld, html, csv and md at one address, filtered and sorted through the address itself. What is published is out there: no connector, no sync, no copy. No frontend, on purpose: your website stays yours.
- Accounting
- AI assistant
- App
- Automation
- Customer portal
- Dashboard
- Digital signage
- Intranet
- Newsletter
- Partner site
- Point of sale
- Shop
- Spreadsheet
- Website
The same record, twice – and a frontend reads it directly, with no library, like this page.
Keys
A grant, not a master key.
Website, shop and assistant write the same way they read. A machine gets no user account but a grant, and every write is logged under its name. The form creates a message, the till an order, the customer portal reads only its own customer.
One sentence, one date.
One collection, one action, one date
Create, modify, read or configure, limited to one collection, one field or one record: “The booking service may create reservations, nothing else.” Every key expires, after two years at the latest.
Nothing appears unseen
What a machine writes lands as a draft: no key publishes and none deletes. Eighty drafts from one script you tick and publish in one bar.
The assistant reads the profile
At /feed/en-US/profile every field of every type is listed, named in the language you publish in. An assistant reads that, writes drafts, and a person publishes.
Operations
Runs on ordinary web hosting. And leaves you alone.
PHP and one SQLite file, installed in a minute. Left out is everything that would otherwise need maintaining or fixing.
One folder for everything
The database and the uploads sit side by side. Copying the folder backs it up, moving it is the same, and everything leaves again in all four formats.
Updates and backups on their own
Backed up daily, going back around thirty days, without cron and without a daemon, restored whole from the admin. Every version signed, verified and installed on its own.
Your data, your code
Your data on your webspace, no data processor but your host, deleting means deleting. Business Source License 1.1, AGPLv3 after three years.
Pricing
The software costs nothing. What you pay for is someone answering the phone.
