Known is an open source publishing tool designed to provide a way of more easily publishing status updates, blog posts, and photos to a wide range of social media services. It also allows you to keep a copy of the content you publish and post on your own site.[5]

Known is available as installable open source software, similar to WordPress.[6] It is a part of the IndieWeb movement,[7] and is used as a teaching tool in higher education.[8] [9] It also supports multi-user use, and is sometimes considered as an intranet platform.[10]

Known supports the W3C Recommendations Micropub[11] and Webmention[12] among others.

Known is supported since 2019 by Open Collective that serves as fiscal sponsor since for many FLOSS projects.[13] [14]
