About

We are building a new kind of document.

IDOP LABS develops IDOP, an open file format for interactive documents, and the ecosystem needed to create, open, run, edit and distribute them. IDOP Cloud is the first product built on it.

§ 01What we do

A format first. Products on top of it.

Most software companies build an application and, if they must, define a file format for it. We are doing it the other way round. The core of our work is IDOP: a document format whose files carry their own interface, logic and data, and which any reader can validate and run safely. It is published as an open specification, so that documents do not depend on us.

On that format we build products: IDOP Cloud, a web environment to open, run, keep and share documents; a reader that installs as an app; templates; tools for developers; and a connector for AI assistants. The product page lists what is available, what is in preview, and what is planned.

§ 02How we work

Principles we hold ourselves to.

Safe by construction

A document is untrusted code. Every design decision starts from that, and we write the rules down as requirements.

Files you own

Your work lives in your files. You can download them, keep them, and open them without us.

Specified in public

The format is documented openly, versioned additively, and implementable by anyone.

No tracking

No advertising, no behavioural analytics, no selling of data. We keep what the service needs, and say what that is.

Honest status

We label what exists, what is in preview and what is planned. We do not describe future work as if it were done.

Small, deliberate scope

A small Runtime API, a strict validator, few features done properly. Additions must earn their place.

§ 03Where we are

Early, and building in the open.

IDOP LABS is an early-stage company. The IDOP 1.0 specification is published as a Candidate Recommendation, IDOP Cloud is live and free to use, and forty first-party templates are available. Paid plans, a visual editor and native readers are in preparation.

We are based in Poland and work in English, so that the format can serve an international audience from the start. The operating company’s registration details are on the company information page.

Progress is recorded, dated, in the changelog.

Try what we have built.

IDOP Cloud runs in the browser. Start from a template, open a file you were sent, or keep your own — no installation, and no account needed just to open a document.
