13 apps in one browser tab, free
Free alternatives to Photoshop, Word, Excel and AutoCAD, in your browser
Madosuite is a desktop of creative and office apps in a tab. Edit a .psd, write a .docx, fix a .dwg. The apps run on your own device, so there is nothing to install and no subscription.

How it works
A whole computer runs in the tab, on your own device. That is why it can be free.
Open the tab
Madosuite starts a Linux machine in your browser. Its apps sit in the dock, like a desktop.
Open your file
Upload a .psd, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx or .dwg in Files. It goes into the machine’s home folder, not to our servers.
Save the real format
Save back to the format you opened, or export a PDF, and download it.

- Complex files can look different from the paid app; check before you send
- Big projects need a computer with enough memory
Questions
Is Madosuite free?
Yes. The apps run on your own device, in the browser tab, so there is no server time to pay for. There is no trial period.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open Madosuite in your browser on a computer and the apps are there. Nothing is installed on the computer itself.
Do I need an account?
No. Sign in with a 0cloud account only if you want one; without it, your work stays in this browser on this device.
Where are my files kept?
In the browser on your device, inside Madosuite’s own Linux machine, in its home folder. Your files are not uploaded to us. Clearing the site’s data in your browser deletes them, so download what you want to keep.
Are the apps finished?
No, and we say so on every app’s page. They are young open-source apps, alpha or earlier, and their makers publish how far along each one is. Many everyday jobs work today; check the list of what is missing before you depend on one.
Who makes the apps?
The suite apps are the ArtCraft team’s open-source Crafting Apps, under the MIT or Apache-2.0 licence. Madosuite puts them on one desktop in your browser, with Files, a Terminal and Edix, the code editor. See credits.
