Contracts signed on your own server: DocuSeal is the most feature-complete open-source, self-hosted alternative to DocuSign. A WYSIWYG builder turns any PDF into a fillable form with 14 field types: signature, initials, date, file upload, checkbox, dropdown, radio, stamp, and more. Documents route to multiple submitters in sequence or parallel, with automated SMTP email notifications, reminders, and a mobile-optimized signing experience that works on any device without an account. Every completed document carries an automatic PDF eSignature with verification and an audit trail. Templates are reusable and can also be generated programmatically - from HTML via API or from PDFs and DOCX files with embedded field tags - and the REST API plus webhooks drive full workflow automation, with embedded signing forms and form builders for React, Vue, Angular, and plain JavaScript. Files store on disk or in S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure. The UI ships in 7 languages with signing in 14. Runs on SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL; AGPL-3.0 licensed with unlimited documents and no per-signature fees.

With 6,700 GitHub stars, 79 releases, and 40 contributors since its October 2023 launch, OpenSign delivers a fully free electronic signature platform that removes the per-envelope pricing and seat limits of commercial e-signing services. The React-based frontend provides a drag-and-drop interface for placing signature fields, initials, date stamps, text inputs, and checkboxes onto PDF documents, while the Parse Server backend built on Node.js handles document routing through configurable multi-signer workflows with sequential or parallel signing order. Guest signers authenticate via one-time-password email verification without requiring account creation, while registered users manage documents through OpenSign Drive — a centralized vault with folder organization and status tracking across draft, in-progress, completed, and declined states. Every signing action generates tamper-proof audit trails logging timestamps, IP addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, culminating in a detailed completion certificate attached to the finished document. The REST API v1.2 exposes endpoints for document creation, template dispatch, self-signing, and real-time webhook notifications on document lifecycle events, with regional deployments available in US and EU. PDF templates with pre-placed widgets enable repeated dispatch to different signers in a single API call. Custom branding controls email invitation templates, signing page appearance, and completion certificate styling. Deploy via Docker Compose with MongoDB, Caddy reverse proxy, and automatic HTTPS provisioning. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3 licensed.

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.

Atlas delivers a complete business operations platform in a single Docker Compose deployment, replacing the need for separate CRM, HRM, project management, invoicing, and file storage subscriptions.

HRM handles employees, departments, org charts, leave management, and attendance tracking. The invoicing system generates professional invoices with recurring billing, customizable templates, and payment tracking. Agreements provides PDF contract generation with legally-binding e-signatures, sequential signing workflows, counterparty linking, audit trails, and automated reminders. Projects integrates time tracking, billing, client management, budgets, and reporting in one view.

Write provides rich text documents with cover images, comments, and templates, while Draw adds an Excalidraw-based whiteboard canvas with PDF export and presentation mode. The platform supports five languages, multi-tenant isolation, role-based permissions, and includes an Odoo importer that ingests res.partner, crm.lead, and CRM activity CSV exports for migration. Built on React, TypeScript, Vite, TanStack Query, and Zustand on the frontend with Express, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL, Redis, and BullMQ on the backend. Running 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.
