Wraft

Wraft is an open-source Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tool that's helps businesses produce their most important set of documents. Wraft helps author structured business content. From official letters to contracts, and beyond.

Our goal is to give people complete control over their most important documents, from drafting to collaborating and distributing.
