DocWright

One platform for boardroom reports, engineering docs & research papers.

DocWright is a self-hostable, fully open-source cross between Overleaf, Google Docs and a desktop DTP program — with print-grade PDF output, LaTeX-quality mathematics, live collaboration, and sovereign, Git-backed files you always own.

FOSS · GPL-3.0 · no containers · your data never leaves your server

WYSIWYG parity

CSS Paged Media drives both the on-screen preview and the print PDF, so what you see is byte-for-byte what you print.

Dual authoring

Visual editor for everyone; LaTeX source mode with live Tectonic preview for R&D. One canonical model underneath.

Real-time collaboration

CRDT co-editing, presence, threaded & directed comments, and role-gated sign-off with a full audit trail.

Sovereign format

Every project is a portable Git repository of open formats. Clone it, read it, take it anywhere — no lock-in.

Print & DOCX

Print-grade PDF with hi-res image swap, booklet/poster imposition, and faithful DOCX export & import.

Workflow engine

Configurable state machines govern documents, RFIs, sign-offs and transmittals — essential for AECO document control.

Indian languages

Roman→vernacular transliteration for Tamil, Devanagari and more, with correct complex-script shaping on screen and in print.

BIM aware

Bind document sections to IFC elements by GlobalId and pull live properties and bills of quantities.

API-first

OpenAPI 3.1 + AsyncAPI, scoped keys, async jobs, an AST/operations API for AI agents, and HMAC-signed webhooks.
