CryptPad
End-to-end encrypted collaborative office suite
CryptPad is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative office suite that allows users to create and share documents, spreadsheets, kanban boards, whiteboards, and more. It requires no personal information to use and even supports anonymous access via shared links. It is available as a hosted service with free and paid tiers, and can also be self-hosted.
Documents are encrypted client-side before being stored on the server, so even the CryptPad team cannot read user content; collaboration happens in real time via shared encrypted links.
Individuals, students, educators, journalists, activists, and organizations seeking a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Docs and Microsoft 365
