# Aphex CMS

> Aphex is an open-source, headless CMS that lives inside your SvelteKit app. Define schemas in TypeScript, bring your own Postgres, and extend anything. The open-source Sanity for the Svelte ecosystem.

Aphex is built for SvelteKit + Svelte 5. It is self-hostable, type-safe end to end, and ships with a built-in studio for editors. Content is stored in your own Postgres instance — no third-party data store, no per-seat pricing, no vendor lock-in.

Key concepts:
- Schemas are defined as TypeScript objects (documents, objects, fields).
- Content is queried via a local API (in-process), HTTP API, or GraphQL endpoint.
- The studio admin UI runs at `/admin` inside your own SvelteKit app.
- Auth is powered by Better Auth with multi-org and role-based access control.
- Adapters: Postgres (storage), S3 / local (assets), Resend / Nodemailer (email).
