A Google Docs Alternative: VadeKit Rich Text Editor

Looking for a Google Docs alternative that doesn't store your writing on Google's servers? Docs is free and excellent at real-time collaborative editing - that's not something VadeKit tries to compete with. VadeKit's Rich Text Editor is the single-user, fully offline option: tables, images, styles and DOCX export, with the file staying on your disk.

If several people need to write in the same document live, Google Docs is free and built for exactly that. If it’s a document you’d rather keep off Google’s servers - a contract, a draft under NDA - VadeKit’s Rich Text Editor is the local-only option, included in the same $24 as every other tool.

Why choose VadeKit's Rich Text Editor

For writing that shouldn't leave your machine, VadeKit's Rich Text Editor gives you tables, images, styles and DOCX/PDF export without a Google account or a synced copy sitting in Drive.

When Google Docs still makes sense

Docs remains the right tool when the point is real-time collaboration - several people editing the same document at once, with comments and version history, for free. VadeKit doesn't attempt to replace that.
