CryptPad
Collaborative docs where even the server cannot read your work.
CryptPad is an open source, end-to-end encrypted collaboration suite: documents, spreadsheets, kanban boards, forms and whiteboards. You can create and share pads without an account, and the encryption means the server operators cannot read your content.
Best for: Use this when the document is sensitive enough that Google Docs feels wrong.
Pros
- End-to-end encryption by design, not as an add-on
- Full suite: docs, sheets, kanban, forms, whiteboard
- Anonymous use without an account is supported
Cons
- Pads made without an account expire after a period of inactivity
- Losing your keys or password means losing the data, by design
- Heavier documents feel slower than mainstream suites
