CryptPad

Free collaborative suite for writing, sharing and organizing work online with end-to-end encryption and a more privacy-friendly approach.

CryptPad is an online collaboration suite designed around end-to-end encryption. It lets you create documents, sheets, presentations, forms, whiteboards and shared drives while limiting what the server can read.

It is a useful choice when you need shared documents without handing all content to a large centralized office platform. It works well for notes, collaborative drafts, forms, lightweight project documents and team spaces.
