Craft Docs: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Craft is a productivity app for notes, tasks and documents from Craft Docs, a company based in Budapest. It combines documents, tasks, a calendar, whiteboards and daily notes in a block-based editor with Markdown support. Users can publish pages to the web, collaborate in real time and work offline. Native apps exist for macOS, iOS, iPadOS and Windows, and Craft is also available in the browser. It further offers an AI writing assistant, MCP connections and integrations with tools such as Apple Shortcuts and Zapier.

Craft is a closed-source commercial product delivered as a cloud service; self-hosting and open-source use are not offered. The vendor is based in Hungary, an EU member state. According to its support documentation, documents are stored on cloud servers run by Amazon Web Services; the region is not named. A European organisation that needs EU data residency should therefore ask the vendor to confirm the storage region in writing. The vendor states that data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Craft Docs

Craft Docs is headquartered in HU and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Craft Docs scores best on data residency.

Craft Docs is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Craft Docs together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
