CDocs is a Canadian-owned word processor hosted in Montreal that works like Google Docs but keeps your data in Canada. It costs $8 USD monthly for extra storage, has no mobile app by design, and exports to Word, Markdown, and PDF.
A Canadian version of Google Docs? Sort of. This is part 3 of finding Canadian replacements for the big tech platforms. Today we are replacing the big American online word processors like Google Docs and Microsoft 365. These are big suites with slides and spreadsheets. I'm only looking at the word processor part here, and I really like CDocs. It's sort of a cross between a notes app and a word processor, but it is more fully functioned than you'd think. Of course you can do all the text formatting, but you can also collaborate on a document with others. You can publish a document to the web, you can export it as a Word document or Markdown or PDF. It is entirely Canadian-owned. Owned, made by this guy right here on Vancouver Island. All the data is stored in Canada, in Montreal actually. None of it is used for AI training. There's a free plan, or you can pay $8 a month to get more storage. Now one thing, there is no mobile app, so you won't find this in the App Store. That's by design. It means Google and Apple can't gatekeep your access to it, but you can still use it on a phone. You just access it through a web browser like any other website. In fact, I wrote this script that way and it worked great. Follow me for part 4.
Ten times Canada helped the U.S. with its wildfires, instead of whining about the smoke.
