Work on documents together, live

Share a document and everyone who has it open edits the same copy at the same time. You see changes as they happen, and each person's name and cursor. Sharing is part of the Golem Docs subscription. Editing and downloading are free and never need an account.

Subscribe to share

Golem Docs works fully without an account. To share or sync, subscribe: it is a monthly subscription, and your first month is free. You sign in with Google, Microsoft, GitHub, or Apple first (we ask each of them for only your basic profile, and we never see your password), then subscribe from File ▸ Subscribe or the button at the top right. You can cancel any time. The people you share with only need to sign in, not subscribe.

Share with people

Choose Share from the File menu. Invite specific people by email and choose whether each can edit or only view. They need to have signed in to Golem Docs once, and they open the document from Shared with me.

Editors and viewers both see changes live. You can remove someone at any time.

Live editing

Changes appear as people type. Everyone in the document sees each person's name and cursor position, so it is clear who is working where. Edits to the text, formatting, and tables of a Word document are shared as you make them.

A PDF or a picture is edited by one person at a time. Whoever opened it first edits it, with every tool, and everyone else sees it again each time it is saved. Choose Take over to edit it yourself. This works the same for someone you share with and for your own account on another device.

Your documents follow you

With a subscription, your documents are saved to your account and open on any device. Each change is still saved in your browser first, so it is instant and safe offline, and uploaded soon after. Each account's documents are kept in a database of its own, and the files are kept in encrypted cloud storage.

Without a subscription, everything stays local

Without a subscription, your documents live in your browser's own storage and are never sent to us. File ▸ Open shows all of them. Download All saves everything you have kept as one ZIP, any time, no account needed. On a shared computer, use Clear Local Data when you're done.

Take your files with you

Every document is a real file that belongs to you. Download it in its own format, or convert it to another one, with no account.
