Git-native docs, requirements & tests

User-friendly, traceable docs,
straight from your Git repo.

TheoWorks is a friendly, browser-based workspace for sphinx-needs projects — documentation, requirements and tests together. Everyone on the team can write, link and trace, while every edit round-trips to clean, human-diffable RST in Git. Cloud or fully on-premise.

Product

Everything a team needs for traceable docs

Documentation, requirements and tests in one friendly editor — with traceability, validation, and agents that automate the busywork. All versioned in Git.

A document editor, not a form

Write like you would in Google Docs. Headings, prose, tables, callouts and typed requirements coexist in one clean document.
