Ideas grow better together
HedgeDoc is a collaborative writing tool where your team can create notes, documents, and presentations together in real time. Everything happens in your browser — no downloads, no sign-up fees, and no clutter. Share a link and start writing.
What makes HedgeDoc worth launching.
Multiple people can write in the same document at the same time — you'll see each other's changes as they happen.
Turn any Markdown document into a slide deck with one click. Great for meetings, pitches, or teaching.
Add flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and more directly inside your notes — no extra tools needed.
If you fit one of these, HedgeDoc is probably built for you.
Practical scenarios where HedgeDoc makes a real difference.
Everyone adds their notes to the same doc during a meeting — no more chasing people for takeaways afterward.
Build a shared knowledge base where anyone can contribute, update, and find information fast.
Capture ideas as they come, organize them into lists, and watch the conversation take shape in real time.
Teachers and students can work on notes, study guides, and slide decks together without complicated software.
HedgeDoc is a friendly, web-based editor that lets you and your team write together at the same time. Think of it as a shared notebook where everyone's changes appear instantly — perfect for meeting notes, project docs, or brainstorming sessions. You can write in simple Markdown (a plain-text formatting style), add diagrams and charts, or even turn your notes into slide presentations with one click. It's simple enough for anyone to use, yet powerful enough for teams that need real-time collaboration without the distractions of a full office suite.
HedgeDoc is the go-to tool for teams that want to write together without the overhead of a full office suite. It strips away the complexity and gives you one clean space where you can take notes, build docs, and even present slides — all from the same document. Teachers use it for classrooms, developers use it for technical docs, and remote teams use it to keep everyone on the same page. People love it because it's fast, lightweight, and just works.
