What is Greymatter?
Greymatter is the original opensource weblogging and journal software. With fully-integrated comments, searching, file uploading and image handling, completely customisable output through dozens of templates and variables, multiple author support, and many other features—while having perhaps the simplest installation process and easiest-to-use interface of any program offering this level of functionality—Greymatter permanently raised the bar for weblogging and journaling, and it remains the program of choice for tens of thousands of people around the world.
Just how opensource is it?
It's about as free and opensource as you'll get! Almost all other weblog/journal programs and services either have various restrictions on what you can do with them, or they require payment for you to remove the restrictions or unlock their full functionality. As for Greymatter: Other than selling the code (in original or modified form) or removing the copyright notice, you are hereby free to do whatever you wish with Greymatter and its code for any purpose, including modifying it or (freely) redistributing it in any way—in fact, it's encouraged. (Donations are still appreciated, of course!)
Where can I download it?
Thanks to the great efforts from the folks at the Greymatter Forums, version 1.3 is available for download featuring numerous fixes and improvements. Note: greymatterforums.com is currently down, a temporary replacement site with downloads has been set up here.
What about support?
Feel free to stop by the Greymatter discussion forum for all your Greymatter-related comments or concerns.
How much does it cost? And how can I give something back?
Absolutely nothing; Greymatter is a completely free program—with no hidden advertising, icon-display requirements, or any other strings attached—and it always will be. If you'd like to be listed on this site as a Greymatter sponsor, please see the donation page for more info on buying a sponsored link.
