• AGPL-3.0-only
• Proprietary | language = 45 languages | website = OnlyOffice is a productivity software suite developed by Ascensio System SIA, a Latvian software company founded in 2009. It is available as an open source community edition and a proprietary enterprise edition. Initially introduced as a project management and collaboration platform called TeamLab, it was rebranded as OnlyOffice in 2014 with a focus on online document editing and office productivity.

The suite includes applications for word processing (Document Editor), spreadsheets (Spreadsheet Editor), presentations (Presentation Editor), PDF files viewing and editing (PDF Viewer and Editor), form creation, and diagram visualization. It natively supports the Office Open XML formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx, etc.).

OnlyOffice is available as both a cloud service and a self-hosted software, with deployment options for Linux and Windows servers, as well as desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The desktop client uses the Chromium Embedded Framework.

The software's Community Edition is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL), while commercial editions with extended features and support are offered by Ascensio System SIA under a proprietary license.

OnlyOffice has been adopted by French government organizations, and is available in 45 languages.

History

In 2009, a group of software developers from Ascensio System SIA (Latvian-based) and New Communication Technologies (Russian-based) launched a project called TeamLab, a platform for internal team collaboration.

In March 2012, TeamLab introduced the first HTML5-based online document editors at CeBIT.

In July 2014, TeamLab Office was officially rebranded to OnlyOffice.

In March 2016, the developers released a free desktop application – OnlyOffice Desktop Editors.

In August 2023, OnlyOffice opened a holding company in Singapore and incorporated all the existing branches (those in Latvia, US, UK, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Serbia) under the one brand. Ascensio System SIA was to become 100% owned by the British-based Ascensio System Ltd, which in its turn was to become 100% owned by OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. The beneficiaries of OnlyOffice Capital Group Pte. Ltd. are listed in the registry of Singapore companies by ACRA.

In February 2023, OnlyOffice released the first version of the ChatGPT plugin. In January 2024, version 1.1.4 of the plugin was released which provided new tools for document editing and access to GPT-4.

In November 2024, OnlyOffice launched Virtual Data Rooms for file security with automated indexing and content tracking.

Organization

Based in Latvia, OnlyOffice owner Ascensio System SIA was a subsidiary of Russian-based New Communication Technologies. Due to EU economic sanctions targeting Russia, European organizations that used the commercial version of OnlyOffice were prohibited from doing so.
