CRDT Collaborative Documents & Shared Calendars Inside Encrypted Chat

Teams and families often adopt an encrypted messenger for chat—then immediately paste links to unencrypted Google Docs and shared cloud calendars where every sensitive roadmap, travel itinerary, and meeting note sits in cleartext. Wonek builds real-time CRDT documents and a 5-view shared calendar straight into the encrypted workspace.

Key Architectural Takeaway Powered by conflict-free replicated data types (Yjs/Yrs CRDTs), Wonek documents let multiple people edit simultaneously—even offline on a flight—and merge cleanly without central plaintext cloud editors.

Why Encrypted Chat Alone Leaves a Privacy Gap

Security is only as strong as where your permanent decisions live. If two founders discuss an acquisition or patent strategy in an encrypted chat, then write the actual term sheet in a conventional cloud document editor and schedule milestones on an ad-tech calendar, metadata and document contents are still exposed to third-party servers.

Bringing collaborative documents and shared scheduling inside Wonek closes that gap—keeping conversations, living notes, and dates under one cryptographic roof.

How Yjs / Yrs CRDTs Enable Offline-First Co-Editing

Traditional cloud word processors rely on Operational Transformation (OT) coordinated by a central server that must read every character in plaintext to resolve edit order. Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs)—implemented in Wonek with high-performance Yjs/Yrs data structures—guarantee mathematically deterministic convergence on client devices without requiring a server to read the document.

Two teammates can edit the same project spec on a MacBook and an iPad while one is offline on an airplane. The moment connectivity returns, encrypted CRDT state vectors exchange and merge cleanly without overwriting anyone's paragraphs.

  1. Create a collaborative document directly alongside a Personal or Work conversation in Wonek.
  2. Co-edit checklists, technical specs, travel plans, or meeting agendas simultaneously across Mac, iPad, and iPhone—even while offline.
  3. Switch to the built-in Shared Calendar across Day, Multi-Day, Month, Year, or List views to lock in deadlines without leaving the app.
  4. Launch an E2EE voice, video, or screen-share call directly from the conversation when synchronous review is faster.

Five Calendar Views Tailored to Real Planning

Whether scanning a full Year overview for product launches, planning a 3-day offsite in Multi-Day view, checking today's hour-by-hour agenda in Day view, or triaging upcoming milestones in List and Month views, Wonek's shared calendar keeps schedules tied to the people who need them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if two people edit the same paragraph while one is offline?

Wonek uses Yjs/Yrs Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). Both devices record fine-grained state updates locally and merge them deterministically without lost edits when back online.

Which calendar views are built into Wonek?

Wonek includes five built-in calendar views—Day, Multi-Day, Month, Year, and List—directly alongside your conversations.

Can Wonek servers read our collaborative documents?

No. CRDT updates sync across authorized devices inside Wonek's end-to-end encrypted architecture so servers never inspect plaintext document contents.
