ShimoDocs

ShimoDocs is a self-hosted document collaboration suite that brings documents, professional writing, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, and structured tables together in your private cloud. It gives teams a familiar Google Docs-like real-time collaboration experience while keeping business data, user access, and deployment under their own control.

Create, edit, comment, review, and share in one workspace—without passing attachments around, maintaining multiple file versions, or sending sensitive content to a public cloud service.

Six connected products cover everyday collaboration, long-form content, data analysis, presentations, data collection, and structured workflows.

Document Capture meeting notes, project plans, team knowledge, and rich content in a flexible collaborative canvas. Edit together in real time, mention teammates, assign follow-up work, and keep discussions beside the content.	Writer Create polished reports, contracts, policies, proposals, and other long-form business documents. Use professional page formatting, review changes, manage structured content, and collaborate without losing document fidelity.
Sheet Organize data, calculate results, track projects, and analyze information together. Sheet supports familiar formulas, formatting, sorting, filtering, charts, comments, and real-time multi-user editing.	Presentation Build compelling slide decks with themes, layouts, media, animations, speaker tools, and collaborative editing. Keep presentations in the same workspace as the rest of your team's content.
Form Create surveys, registrations, applications, feedback forms, and internal workflows with flexible question types, logic rules, form settings, and custom result pages.	Table Manage structured information and business workflows with table, Kanban, Gantt, gallery, calendar, and list views, plus filters, groups, flexible fields, and comments.

All six products work together in one workspace, with the same privately configured AI Agent experience available throughout.

Every ShimoDocs product includes a built-in AI Agent sidebar, so AI is available inside the document, spreadsheet, presentation, form, or table where the work is already happening—not in a separate tool that loses the current context.

Your organization can privately configure any approved AI Agent, model, tools, and knowledge sources while controlling access and data boundaries. Teams can use the AI services that fit their own security, compliance, and deployment requirements instead of being locked into one public AI provider.

Server, cloud resource, and hosting costs are managed by the customer and are not included with the ShimoDocs license.
