DocuDesk

Document creation, anonymisation, signing, and templating on Nextcloud. Twelve templates ship for the most-used Dutch government documents (beschikkingen, jaarverslagen, bezwaarbrieven). Pulls fields straight from your registers.

DocuDesk is an open-source document-processing app for the Nextcloud workspace. It generates PDF, Word, HTML, and Excel documents from templates, anonymizes personal data through Presidio entity detection, and keeps a full audit trail for GDPR and WOO publication consent. All processing runs locally on the customer's Nextcloud instance, so sensitive files never leave the premises while still integrating with SharePoint, Office 365, and case-management systems. Released under EUPL-1.2 and maintained by Conduction since 2019.
