Pages & Sheets

Pages and Sheets, together in one tool

Hosted in Canada. Your documents live on independent bare metal servers in Montreal, governed by Canadian and Quebec law.

Markdown export. Every page can leave in real Markdown, not a proprietary format. Open it in any editor, forever, with no lock-in.

Threaded comments. Feedback happens right in the margin, threaded to the exact paragraph it's about, so replies never lose their context.

Folders & organization. Folders and subfolders keep hundreds of documents organized, and you can share an entire folder with your team so everyone's working from the same place.

A real API. A REST API with your own API keys, for scripting, automation, or building something on top of your documents.

Bilingual by design. English and French from day one, not a bolted-on translation layer, reflecting where cDox is actually built.

And so much more

It's a cross between a notes app and a word processor but it's way more fully featured than you'd think.

What people ask us

All pages and sheets are stored and processed on independent bare metal servers in Montreal, Quebec, under Canadian and Quebec law. Data doesn't move between countries.
We store it so you can access it, and that's about it. We don't read your pages, sell your data, or use your writing to train AI models. Your content exists solely to serve you. When you delete something, it's permanently removed. No hidden copies, no secondary use.
Yes. Invite anyone by email to a page or sheet, see who's online with live presence indicators, and watch edits sync in real time. Threaded comments are built in too.
Yes. Export pages as Markdown, PDF, Word, or plain text. Export sheets as CSV. Your work is never locked into cDox.
Yes. cDox is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, on Google Play for Android, and there are native desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux, all with the same privacy guarantees as the web app. See all the apps.
Yes, anytime, right from Settings. Deleting your account permanently removes it along with all of your pages, folders, and comments. There's no waiting period and no support ticket required, and it cannot be undone.
cDox offers a free tier with 50MB of storage and up to 3 public links. If you need more, Pro is available for $8/month or $70/year, unlocking 500MB and unlimited public links.
Not at all. Anyone, anywhere can use cDox, and we'd love to see more people from outside Canada using it. We host on independent servers in Montreal, so your data falls under Quebec and Canadian privacy law, among the strictest in North America. Because cDox is a Canadian company, your data also isn't exposed to foreign laws that can force other providers to hand over user data no matter where it's stored.
