When will Free Core be available?
The public Free Core download is coming soon, but it is intentionally being held until the site, documentation and release checks are ready.
Updated October 1, 2026
Why the download is not open yet
Free Core is intended to be a real $0 release, not a sign-up trick. The public archive is being held while FreeholdCMS.com, the documentation and the final release checks are completed.
That keeps an unfinished package from becoming somebody else’s production problem.
What you can do now
Review what Free Core includes and the hosting requirements. The public download will replace the placeholder when the release is ready.
