Privacy, Hosting, and Collaboration

Encrypted. Self-Hostable.
Built for Collaboration.

The local Docs prototype includes an encrypted vault. Cloud hosting and collaboration are planned.

End-to-End Encryption

Encrypt files on your device with keys you control. Search documents, photos, and videos through a private index.

Local vault encryption exists. Encrypted sync and private indexing are planned.

Hosted or Self-Hosted

Use our hosted service or run the open-source suite on your own server. Access the same workspace from a browser or desktop.

Hosted service, self-hosting, and file sync are planned.

Live Collaboration

Edit documents together with shared cursors, comments, and synchronized changes.

Real-time collaboration is planned.

AI-Native Documents

Rich Text
Your AI Can Read.

Open Native Document (.ondc) keeps your words, structure, and formatting in readable source. It is designed so the AI tools you authorize can work directly with the files you control.

Keep the Rich Text. Give tools access to structure and formatting alongside your words.

Choose Your Tools. An open format is intended to work beyond a single editor or cloud.

The Specification

Experimental format. AI integration, complete layout, and document conversion remain in development.

Interchange and Open-Standard Goals

Desktop releases and import/export support are planned; installers are not yet available. Format names describe interoperability goals, not certified compatibility or endorsement.

The Manifesto

Technology Must
Serve Its Users.

Digital sovereignty means being able to choose your software, control access to your work, improve the tools you use, and leave a provider with a complete, usable copy.

We are designing Skydream to make those choices practical. Independent applications and competing providers are part of the goal.

Standards Must Outlast Providers

A document must remain understandable beyond one company.

The Right to Improve

Inspect, correct, customize, and build independent alternatives.

The Right to Exit

Keep a complete, usable path to another service or your own server.

Read the Manifesto

The Open Foundation

An Open Standard.
An Independent Ecosystem.

The specification defines the model. Applications and servers implement it. Providers operate compatible services. Keeping these layers independent is how we intend to make provider choice practical.

Our commercial offer will be managed hosting. The open product should remain independently usable, and other organizations should be able to build compatible products and services.
