# DocsKing

> Document management platform with Bring Your Own Storage (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Azure, Google Drive, Dropbox) and Bring Your Own AI keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google). Full control over where your documents live and which AI reads them.

DocsKing is a document management platform designed for teams that need full control over their data and AI infrastructure. Two differentiators set it apart from Notion, Confluence, and Google Docs: (1) Bring Your Own Storage — files are stored in the customer's own cloud account (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Azure Blob, Google Drive, or Dropbox), with customer-chosen region, backup schedule, and encryption keys. (2) Bring Your Own AI — document search uses the customer's own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key, so AI queries go through the customer's account, not DocsKing's. This makes it a fit for compliance-heavy industries (legal, healthcare, finance), EU organizations needing GDPR data residency, and CISOs who need to know exactly where documents and AI queries flow. Files can be encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Self-hosting the entire DocsKing platform is also available — contact sales@docsking.com.

## Key Features

- **Workspaces**: Organize documents into isolated workspaces with unique codes, members, tags, collections, custom fields, templates, and multiple storage providers.
- **Rich Text & Markdown Editor**: WYSIWYG editor (Tiptap) and Markdown editor with format toggle. Supports headings, lists, links, image paste/drop/upload.
- **Document Templates**: Create reusable templates for meeting notes, specs, proposals. Start new documents with pre-filled content and structure.
- **Document Versioning**: Save snapshots, browse version history, preview and restore any past version with one click.
- **Approval Workflows**: Documents flow through Draft → In Review → Approved/Rejected → Published with reviewer comments and full audit trail.
- **Inline Comments**: Add comments to documents, reply in threads, resolve/unresolve discussions.
- **Document Analytics**: Track views, unique viewers, daily trends, and recent activity with automatic view tracking.
- **AI Search with Your Own Keys (BYO AI)**: Ask questions in natural language and get answers with source attribution from your documents. Users plug in their own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google API key — queries go through the customer's own AI account, not DocsKing's. No vendor lock-in, no markup on AI usage.
- **Content Freshness**: Documents show freshness indicators — green when verified, yellow when review is due, red when overdue. Keep your knowledge base current.
- **Favorites**: Star documents for quick access. Per-user so each team member personalizes their workflow.
- **Nested Pages**: Parent-child document hierarchy for organizing sub-topics under main documents.
- **Granular Sharing**: Share documents with View, Comment, or Edit permissions. Share with workspace members or external users via email. Auto-creates guest access.
- **Public Sharing**: Share via public link — open for anyone or email-gated for lead capture. Track viewers.
- **Complete Audit Trail**: Track every action on every document — created, edited, shared, deleted, restored — with timestamped, color-coded activity logs.
- **Custom Fields**: Define structured metadata per workspace — text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox. Reorderable.
- **Tags & Collections**: Color-coded tags, nested collections, and notebooks for organizing documents.
- **Enterprise Security**: Passkeys (WebAuthn), MFA (TOTP), SSO with Google and Microsoft, trusted device management, login history, Argon2id password hashing, rate limiting, security headers, AES-256-GCM encryption at rest.
- **Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS)**: 6 providers — Platform (DB), AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Azure Blob, Google Drive, Dropbox. Customer picks region for data residency, sets their own backup schedule, and can switch providers anytime. Multiple named storage configs per workspace. OAuth flows for Google Drive and Dropbox. StorageLockedOn prevents provider changes after initial upload to maintain consistency.
- **Role-Based Access**: Platform-level SysAdmin, workspace-level Admin/Member/Guest, document-level View/Comment/Edit.
- **Multi-Language**: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Japanese with auto-detection and user preference storage.
- **Dark Mode**: Light, dark, and system theme with user preference persistence.
- **No Per-Seat Pricing**: Unlimited workspaces and team members on all plans.
- **Billing**: Stripe integration with storage-based plans. Free tier includes all features.
- **SysAdmin Tools**: Dashboard, user management, masquerade (impersonate users), email logs, template customization, storage plan management.
- **Demo Sandbox**: Request a private demo workspace pre-loaded with sample documents, tags, comments, and sharing.
- **Self-Hosting Available**: Organizations can self-host the entire DocsKing platform on their own infrastructure. Contact sales@docsking.com for licensing.

## Use Cases

- Cloud-native teams with existing AWS, Cloudflare, Azure, or Google Cloud contracts who don't want another vendor holding their data
