What is FireCMS?
FireCMS is a developer-first, open-source Firebase CMS and Firestore admin panel framework built with React and TypeScript.
It connects natively to Firebase & Firestore (and MongoDB) and auto-generates powerful CRUD interfaces, forms, and data management tools from your schema — giving you a production-ready Firestore CMS in minutes, not weeks.
Whether you need a headless CMS for Firebase, an internal admin tool, or a full-featured back-office application, FireCMS adapts to your workflow:
- FireCMS Cloud — fully managed SaaS, zero setup. Connect your Firebase project and go live instantly.
- Self-Hosted (Community / PRO) — deploy anywhere. Full source access, MIT licensed core. Perfect for agencies and custom builds.
Trusted by teams at Google, Microsoft, and IKEA — and thousands of developers worldwide.
✨ Key Highlights
- 🔥 Native Firebase & Firestore integration — real-time data, Firebase Auth, and Firebase Storage out of the box
- 🤖 AI-powered features — autofill fields with GPT/Gemini, generate collections with AI, and query data with natural language (DataTalk)
- 🎨 Visual schema editor — build and modify Firestore data models from the UI, with automatic schema inference from existing collections
- ✍️ Notion-style rich text editor — block-based content editing with slash commands and AI autocomplete
- ⚡ Blazing fast — built on Tailwind CSS v4, replacing the old MUI/emotion stack
- 🧩 Radical extensibility — custom React fields, views, hooks, and full theme control
- 🔒 Security by design — your data stays in your Firebase project. No vendor lock-in.

🎨 Visual Schema Editor & Firestore Data Inference
Design your Firestore data models visually with 20+ field types and advanced validation rules. Or connect to an existing Firestore/MongoDB database and let FireCMS automatically infer your schema — go from zero to admin panel in minutes.
✍️ Notion-Style Rich Text Editor
A beautiful block-based editor with slash commands, drag-and-drop blocks, keyboard shortcuts, and AI-powered text completion. Built on TipTap v3.
📥📤 Data Import & Export
Import data from CSV, JSON, and Excel with an intuitive field mapper and validation UI. Export Firestore collections to CSV or JSON with customizable date formats and array serialization.
✨ Robust Forms & Custom Fields
Over 20 built-in field types including Firestore references, markdown, file uploads, arrays, maps, enums, date/time, geopoints, and more. Create custom fields as React components for anything else. Supports conditional fields, validation rules, and a Notion-style content editor.
🖥️ Full-Screen & Side Panel Entity Views
Edit Firestore documents in a side panel or expand to full-screen. Navigate through subcollections, access custom views, and build secondary forms — all with undo/redo support and local draft persistence.
🕐 Entity History & Audit Trail
Track every Firestore document change with built-in history. Compare versions, see who changed what and when, and safely revert to previous states.
👮 Roles, Permissions & User Management
Granular role-based access control for collections, fields, and actions. Manage users and roles directly from the UI, or define permissions programmatically in code.

🔄 Real-Time Firestore Data
Every view — collections, forms, and custom views — supports real-time Firestore updates. Changes sync instantly across all connected users.
🗂️ Firebase Storage Integration
Seamless integration with Firebase Storage for images, videos, and documents. Supports file uploads, drag-and-drop, image resizing, and custom storage implementations.
🧩 Custom Views & React Extensibility
Build entirely custom views (dashboards, previews, analytics) as React components and add them to the main navigation or as entity-level tabs. Use built-in hooks like useSideEntityController, useSnackbarController, and useAuthController to interact with FireCMS.
