CryptPad
A self-hosted Documents, Office & CMS app you can run on your own server.
CryptPad is an open, self-hosted document and content platform — you install it on your own hardware and keep full control of your data. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.
Development happens in the open on GitHub; the repository has collected 7.9K stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on May 26, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Document tools are about compatibility: test importing a real file and exporting it in the formats you share. For content management, check the editor experience and plugin ecosystem before migrating a whole site; a trial with one section usually reveals everything.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, CryptPad is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
