What is wraft?
This Elixir and Phoenix application helps businesses create, collaborate on, sign, and automate their most important documents — from official letters to contracts — with full control over the entire lifecycle. It uses Markdown and JSON as open formats to ensure content stays accessible. Key capabilities include contract lifecycle management, built-in e-signature and approval workflows, document automation via Pandoc with LaTeX and Typst templating, self-hosted S3-compatible document storage with Typesense search, REST APIs, SSO, and webhooks. The software can be self-hosted via Docker Compose, Kubernetes (Helm), or Kamal, and requires PostgreSQL, S3-compatible object storage (MinIO/RustFS), and Typesense as dependencies. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and developed by Functionary Labs Pvt Ltd.
