FAQ

Common questions about Supamode.

What is Supamode?

Supamode is a self-hosted Supabase CMS. It reads your existing Postgres schema and generates a content editor with rich Markdown editing, relationship navigation, media uploads, granular role-based permissions, and audit logs — no SQL and no second data store.

What is a Supabase CMS?

A Supabase CMS is a content management interface that sits directly on top of your Supabase Postgres database instead of storing content in a separate system. It uses your existing tables and relationships as the content model, and adds editor-friendly forms and permissions on top. Supamode is a Supabase CMS built this way.

Do I need a CMS if I'm using Supabase?

If anyone other than developers edits your content, yes. Supabase gives you the database, auth, and storage, but its only UI is Supabase Studio, a developer tool. A Supabase CMS like Supamode adds forms, editorial roles, and audit logs on top of the tables you already have.

Can I use Supabase as a CMS?

Yes. Postgres tables hold the content, Supabase Storage holds the media, and Row Level Security controls who can read what. What Supabase lacks is an editor UI, editorial roles, and a change history. Supamode adds those without moving your content anywhere else.

Should I use Directus or Payload with Supabase instead?

Payload is a code-first CMS: you define collections in TypeScript and it manages its own tables, so it fits new content models better than existing Supabase tables. Directus can introspect an existing Postgres database, but your team signs in with Directus user accounts and it adds directus_* system tables to your database. Supamode signs your team in with Supabase Auth and keeps its own tables in a separate supamode schema.

How does Supamode work with my existing Supabase schema?

Supamode reads your tables, columns, types, and foreign keys and generates the browse views and edit forms from them. You can then adjust how each column is displayed. Your schema is never modified.

What can I build with a Supabase CMS?

Blogs, product catalogs, documentation, moderation queues for user-generated content, or any custom data model. Whatever your tables look like, Supamode builds the editor from them.

Where can I learn more about using Supabase for content management?

The Supamode documentation covers installation, deployment, permissions, and customizing the editor for your content model.

How does Supamode work?

Supamode is an application that runs on your own infrastructure. On the client-side, it's a React app. On the server-side, it's a Hono application that uses Drizzle to connect to your database. Supamode keeps its own configuration in a separate supamode schema, so it doesn't interfere with your existing tables.

I already have a SaaS Starter license. Do I need to buy Supamode?

Yes, Supamode is a new product that is not included in the SaaS Starter license.

Can I host it on Vercel, Fly, or on-premises?

Yes. Supamode runs on any platform that supports server-side JavaScript (Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers): Vercel, Railway, Fly.io, AWS, your own servers, or fully on-premises.

Does it replace or complement Supabase Studio?

It complements it. Studio is a developer tool for schemas, SQL, and project settings. Supamode is for the rest of your team: editor-friendly forms, per-role permissions on tables and actions, and an audit log of every change.

How quickly can I get this running?

Most teams are up and running within an hour, depending on your setup.

Will this break my existing database setup?

No. Supamode adds one supamode schema for its own metadata and permissions. It never modifies your existing schemas, data, functions, or RLS policies.

Do I need technical knowledge to set up Supamode?

Initial setup requires basic technical knowledge (setting environment variables and deploying). Once deployed, your non-technical team members can use the interface without any technical expertise.

How is this different from other admin tools?

Hosted admin tools charge per seat and route your data through their servers. Supamode runs on your infrastructure, you get the source code, and there are no per-user fees or usage limits.

What does the lifetime license include?

A one-time payment for the complete source code and unlimited usage, plus one year of updates, support, and Discord access. Renewing updates after the first year is optional.

Can I modify the source code?

Yes. You get the complete source code (React, TypeScript, Hono, and Drizzle) and can change the UI, features, and branding.

How do I get support?

Through our Discord community, where the team that builds Supamode answers questions directly.
