About CryptPad

CryptPad is an end-to-end encrypted office suite covering documents, spreadsheets, slides, kanban, whiteboard, diagrams, forms, calendar, and a private file drive. Server operators cannot read user content. AGPL-3.0 licensed, maintained by XWiki SAS in France.

CryptPad was created in 2014 by Caleb James de Lisle as part of an XWiki SAS research project funded by BPI France. The cryptographic primitive at the centre — ChainPad, a CRDT adapted from Bitcoin's consensus mechanism — makes real-time multi-user editing possible while keeping the server blind to document content. The project is now maintained by a seven-person team at XWiki SAS, led by David Benque under CEO Ludovic Dubost, and has been in continuous public release for more than ten years.

The flagship instance at cryptpad.fr is the public reference. In January 2026 alone, more than 10,000 new users registered, 3 million pads were opened, and 367,000 unique IP addresses connected. Production-grade adopters named on CryptPad's testimonial wall include the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition, the City of Ulm, Connecting the Dots Institute Netherlands, Université Paris Cité, RWTH Aachen, Hamburg University of Applied Science, Digitalcourage e.V., and human-rights organisation SEDEM. The United Nations used CryptPad Forms to gather endorsements for its Open Source principles.
