Documenso

With over 14,000 GitHub stars and a mission to become the world's most trusted document-signing tool, Documenso delivers a beautifully designed electronic signature platform that organizations can self-host for complete data sovereignty. The signing workflow handles everything from simple one-party signatures to complex multi-recipient documents with configurable roles including signers, approvers, viewers, and CC recipients, each with distinct permissions and notification flows. Document templates enable reusable signing packages with pre-configured fields and recipient patterns, eliminating repetitive setup for contracts, NDAs, and onboarding documents that teams process regularly. The PAdES-standard implementation ensures digital signatures are legally compliant and cryptographically verifiable, with complete audit trails documenting every action from document creation through final signature. Direct link signing allows recipients to access documents without email, enabling embedded signing experiences within existing applications and websites. The REST API provides programmatic document creation, recipient management, and webhook notifications for integrating signature workflows into CRM systems, HR platforms, and custom business applications. Team management features organize users into groups with role-based permissions, custom branding per team, and centralized billing for organizations with multiple signing workflows. SSO integration supports standard authentication providers for enterprise identity management. The TypeScript codebase built on Next.js and Prisma with PostgreSQL makes customization and contribution accessible to modern web developers. Zapier integration connects Documenso to thousands of third-party applications for automated document routing. Deploy on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
