✨ Features

• 🔒 True E2EE: Forms & responses are encrypted in the browser. The server never sees form schemas or plain text answers.
• 🔑 Passkey-Powered: Modern, passwordless authentication with native key management. Uses WebAuthn authentication meaning no passwords or email required.
• 🗄️ Invisible Key Management: Encryption and key distribution happen entirely behind the scenes. Members log in, create, modify, and collaborate on forms normally.
• 📝 Seamless Colloboration: Workspaces are fully encrypted for all members, teammates can share and access data without ever having to manually manage, copy, or exchange cryptographic keys.
• 👁️ Privacy Controls: Automatically purge responses after a specific number of days and automatically close forms after a set response limit or a scheduled close date.
• 🌎 Multi-Language Support: Every field supports independent translations you can even customize the field order per per language.
• 📦 Self-Hostable: Run an instance of Confide on your own hardware.
