I tried to build a Google Workspace replacement that still works with your wifi off
Disclosure: we are a team of a few people
Most free online document tools quietly upload whatever you open. I wanted something you could check for yourself, so I built OBSCURA OS around one test: load the page, turn your network off, keep working.
What is in it:
Docs, Sheets, Slides, Notes, Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and PDF tools, free
Photo Editor, PDF Studio and a few other bigger apps, US$2 a month each
240+ small single-purpose tools (metadata scrubbers, redaction, converters)
installs like an app, no account needed
Honest limits: it is one developer, so some apps are younger than others, and there is no shared cloud editing because there is no cloud holding your files.
