Most office tools keep your work on someone else’s servers. We took a different path: Ettex is local-first, so your documents and data live on your device and sync — encrypted — only when you choose.
That means your work is fast, available offline, and truly yours. You can export everything at any time, with no lock-in.
Privacy isn’t a feature we bolt on; it’s the foundation. Local-first is how we make a suite that respects your data by design.
