Documenso is an open-source document signing tool designed as a transparent alternative to proprietary services like DocuSign. It lets you create signing workflows, manage reusable templates, and generate direct signing links, with support for compliance standards like 21 CFR Part 11. You can run it on your own servers via Docker or use their hosted cloud service and developer API.

What it's for

  • Send contracts and agreements to clients for legally compliant digital signatures
  • Self-host an e-signature solution to maintain complete control over sensitive document data
  • Embed document signing interfaces directly into web apps using its API
  • Share direct signing links for standard agreements like NDAs or vendor onboarding

Features

  • Self-hostable deployment via Docker alongside a cloud-hosted version
  • Visual document builder with customizable signature and text field placement
  • Reusable document templates and direct signing link generation
  • Public API and webhooks for embedding signature workflows into custom applications
  • Team management and role-based access control
  • Compliance support including 21 CFR Part 11, ESIGN Act, and UETA
  • Zapier integration and frontend embedding components
