Phabricator is a free and open source[5] suite of web-based development collaboration tools.

Its suite of tools includes Differential, a code review tool, Diffusion, a repository browser, Herald, a change monitoring tool[6], Maniphest, a bug tracker, and a wiki called Phriction[5]. It integrates with Git, Mercurial, and Subversion.

Phabricator was originally developed as an internal tool at Facebook[7][8][9] overseen by Evan Priestley.[1] Priestley left Facebook in 2011 to continue Phabricator's development in a new company called Phacility.[2]

Phacility announced that it was winding down operations and placing Phabricator in a bare minimum maintenance mode in 2021[10], with no future updates expected.

A community fork, Phorge, was created and announced its stable release to the public on September 7, 2022, and is actively updated[11].
